About
Shiv-r is a new force in the field of dark electronic music. The heavy and unsettling atmosphere generated by the band is at times intended for the clubs, and at times drawn to a slow, grinding pace for full dramatic impact.
Check this site often for daily updates from the band on life in Bangkok & London, body-mods, and music-tech.
