Why should major label bands be the only ones who get love? Unsigned & Streamed is a column where we stream a song from an unsigned band we at Metal Insider really dig.

You may have first heard Shattered Sun’s name attached to Breaking Bands, the new management company spearheaded by Testament’s Chuck Billy, Jon and Marsha Zazula, and Adrenaline PR’s Maria Ferrero. However, it takes only a few seconds to understand why such a group of experienced metal heads would choose this Texas six-piece as one of its first signings. With one EP and plenty of touring under their belt, Shattered Sun deliver in your face metalcore injected with a heavy dose of melodic hard rock.

To give you a taste of what to expect from their debut full-length album (which finds the group once again working with producer Robert Beltran, as well as Spineshank guitarist Mike Sarkisyan on pre-production), check out a recently released new song called “Hope Within Hatred” in the stream below. You can catch Shattered Sun opening for Skid Row at Hollywood’s Whiskey A Go Go on May 17, and keep posted on the band’s upcoming plans via Facebook.
