Shockpowder is a shoegaze project with metal influences founded by Joshua Scurfield in 2015.

"It's a dichotomy that translates gorgeously, and we’re big, big fans" - Imperfect Fifth

"Dubbed “metalgazing”, a fusion between metal and shoegaze, there is no doubt that Shockpowder is creating a sonic universe of his own. We learn that Talking to Plants uses Shockpowder’s well established nostalgic, heavy-but-dreamy sound to paint a picture of the green natural world, but through the eyes of someone who is terribly alone." - Karlismyunkle

Shockpowder released their debut album The Final Thoughts of Gaia in 2019 and are currently releasing singles, expanding their sound and vision. They are inspired by the post metal scene but are anchored with dark, pensive vocals and hazy distortion. The music is inspired by the wistful, nostalgic sensations we feel when we think about eternity and mortality.
