The band’s third album Soulstice was released in August 2006, with lead single “Bring Change” receiving extensive video and radio play. The album quickly went gold; the success gave Shapeshifter the opportunity to appear with the Auckland and Christchurch Symphony Orchestras in two special live shows.

With skills honed over four albums and countless sold-out shows, Shapeshifter have consolidated their awesome powers on brand new long player, The System is a Vampire, creating a future-proofed sound that is both unrelenting and uplifting.
If you haven’t witnessed Shapeshifter lock into one of their monstrous live grooves that synthesize barreling drum’n’bass, cavernous dub soundscapes and pounding hard rock, The System is a Vampire will transport you to these stages where all parts move as one and tempos are ratcheted to breaking point, and Shapeshifter command the crowd to follow its lead.

"Soulstice" is undoubtedly worth listening. There's also the incredible live album "Shapeshifter Live" with a symphony orchestra. "Real Time" sounds a lot like "Riddim Wise" and it's good too.

Netsky's remix is shit. SOM's remixes are shit. Logistics and Camo & Krooked were shit. Nu:Tone, Truth, B-Complex and The Nextmen brought the heat though.

Just heard The System is a Vampire, so epic, oh man. Intended as my "background music" whilst I slept last night, but couldn't sleep throughout it's epicness so I stayed up listening to the album from start to finish. Now I'm at work and am pretty fucking tired, but listening to "Tokyo" again this evening will make everything okay.
