This Is Menace

This Is Menace was a British metalcore supergroup formed in 2004. Metal Hammer has called the band "the most underrated metal supergroup of the 2000s".

History
The band was formed by bassist Mark Clayden and drummer Jason Bowld during the hiatus of their previous band, Pitchshifter. The group released their limited EP, Collusion in 2005. Shortly after that the band released their debut album No End in Sight in April 2005 through J.S. Clayden's PSI Records, receiving generally positive reviews. In December 2005, the band performed with 12 vocalists at the Mean Fiddler in London. In 2006, the band performed at the Download Festival at Donington Park.

The band released their second album, The Scene Is Dead, in 2007, along with the Emotion Sickness DVD, featuring live shows and a "making of" segment. In October 2007, the band embarked on a eight-date tour of the United Kingdom. In 2008, the project was terminated.

In 2020, Pitchshifter's social media accounts announced a final This Is Menace album entitled isM; the album is a compilation of songs from the two previous albums, with one additional unreleased song called "Redisposed".
