SSS
SSS (Short Sharp Shock) formed in Liverpool, England in 2005, delivering a high-velocity crossover thrash sound shaped equally by hardcore punk, thrash metal, and grindcore. Signing to Earache Records, the band released The Dividing Line (2008) and Problems to the Answer (2011) before concluding their career with Limp. Gasp. Collapse. (2014) on Prosthetic Records. SSS operated at the more abrasive end of the British crossover revival, with a commitment to brevity and brutality that aligned them with the grindcore underground as much as the thrash audience. The band subsequently went on indefinite hold.
