Shaped By Fate is a 5 piece metalcore band from South Wales (UK), formed in late 2001 and lauded as "the future of British Metalcore" by Kerrang! magazine which described the band's music as "some of the tastiest, heaviest, most shredding metal this island's seen in a long time".

Shaped By Fate is one of the South Wales scene's most influential veteran bands, having toured all over the UK and Europe with the likes of Parkway Drive, Suicide Silence, The Chariot, Every Time I Die, Becoming the Archetype, Bury Your Dead, Raging Speedhorn, Funeral for a Friend, Sikth and many more.

Having consistently released highly acclaimed EPs in the past, Shaped By Fate released their debut album The Unbeliever in 2007 through In At The Deep End Records (Gallows, Architects, Send More Paramedics) and digitally throughout the rest of the world via Distort Entertainment of Canada (Alexisonfire, Architects, Cancer Bats, City and Colour). The album was recorded in Foel Studios, Wales, with Boston producer Andrew Schneider (Cave In, Keelhaul, Pelican, The Red Chord).
