Shardborne are a four- piece instrumental progressive metal band from Limerick, Ireland. Widely regarded by the underground community as Ireland's best prog metal act, the instrumental lineup was completed in 2010 when bassist Cormac O'Farrell joined the original lineup of Ciaran and Eoin Culhane (guitars) and Ben Wanders (drums).

They released their debut EP 'Aeonian Sequence' in April 2011 to critical acclaim and have toured extensively in Ireland since, sharing the stage with internationally recognized acts such as Cynic, Chimp Spanner, Russian Circles, And So I Watch You From Afar, Rotting Christ, Xerath and Thurisaz, among many more.

In terms of style, Shardborne draw from a wide range of metal, prog rock and various other influences. Their mix of guitar driven melodies and complex musical structures lead to an exciting and unique sound, the twin guitar players melding lines together with interwoven bass grooves and creative technical drum beats as the band collectively skip from one timing to another and from genre to genre. Each member of Shardborne plays a very important role and all are very dedicated to the music created. The band is very hard working, and has been self sufficient since its inception.

Fast Forward to 2015 and Shardborne are happy to announce the release of their debut 'Living Bridges' will out on 10th July via Out On A Limb Records.
