Artist History Formed as a Metallica cover band in 1998, the band underwent some lineup changes and eventually was down to its core members - Matt LeFevers, Chris Percy, and Kyle Reich. They wrote several albums of songs, but after a few years, Chris and Kyle left Shrapnel to form Outroar. Matt released another album on his own, then, after collecting the songs into a Best Of CD, moved on to other projects such as Into Chaos and For Reasons Unknown.
