Eaten by Sharks has been lurking in the dark for the past couple of years while the world was locked down, waiting patiently to unleash their second album “Eradication” upon unsuspecting listeners. That time has come, they have recently released the album and are following it up with a guitar playthrough video for the track “Kill and Consume”. This is a first-hand look at the song which washes over the listener boasting a slammy, black metal feels, a slick Revocation type jazzy middle eight, and a simple message – don’t eat shark soup less you become cursed for poor choices. They explain what they are like in the flesh:
“It’s tight as nails and loud as fuck. We are very lucky to have Justin as the backbone of the band, he hits so fucking hard we have to crank our amps to 11. We spend a lot of time working on our songs at rehearsal so you get a good clear punch in the face. If we can’t hear the riffs when the sound hits the air in rehearsal, it’s time to tweak structure or tone until it makes sense.”
The band says that they can’t wait for their fans to hear the album and this playthrough video adds to the experience that is Eaten By Sharks. The production on “Eradication” blows their last release “We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat” (2013) out of the water and it clearly shows they have poured blood, sweat, and tears into this offering. This is partially due to tight musicianship, and dedication as well as Christian Donaldson’s expertise in capturing a mammoth sound that will keep the listeners coming back for more.
Eaten By Sharks lean into their nautical hell narrative, and set out to rattle your existence like a mega-tsunami. They are recommended listening for fans of Despised Icon, Fit For An Autopsy, and Cattle Decapitation.

“If you’re new to the group, they’re from Ontario, and like the majority of Canadian tech-death bands, they’re damn good at what they do. Don’t let the goofy band name and oddball cover art fool you, this is not amateur hour stuff… As for what the song has to offer, “Depth Charge” is built on continual flipping back and forth between heavy groove terrain and frenetic riffs aided by ripping leads. In doing so, the song feels almost wave-like in its structure, an ever-changing stream of back and forth battling going on underwater. From the time I’ve spent listening to the full release, this is definitely an album many of you will enjoy.” – Metal Injection
“Eaten By Sharks bring aquatic brutality to Technical Death Metal… Eradication should be of great interest to fans of bands like Fit For An Autopsy, Cattle Decapitation, and Revocation and will be available as a CD or digital download. So take my advice, stay out of the water, go grab a copy and let the feeding frenzy begin upon some other unsuspecting victims.” – Metal Talk
“These guys are all business, and put together a pretty compelling, often crushing effort ” – Metal Rules
“Eradication is an absolute blast and one that hits just as hard as you want it to, and is just as serious as you want an album from a band called Eaten By Sharks to be. I wholeheartedly recommend this beast and hope that you have fun listening to it. I did.” – Noob Heavy
“I just discovered Eaten by Sharks, and the band is a good surprise. Their mix of several styles focused on raw violence and devastating technicality makes Eradication an explosive and extremely effective album.” Acta Infernalis
“Eradication is a cracking slab of death metal, excellently written and performed to a high level.” The Razor’s Edge
“Combining new and old Death Metal influences, Eaten By Sharks have proven themselves to be a cut above the competition at the top of the food chain ” – Metal Noise
