  Shock System was an independent rock band from Malaysia. Their music ranged from a mixture of metallic hardcore with rap-rock elements and soaring progressive rock bits. All of their recordings were released independently.
  
  With the release of Peaceful Demonstration EP in 2003 and Stagnantation Disorder EP in 2005, they garnered attention and established themselves in the burgeoning Kuala Lumpur underground scene. They're also avid supporters of Food Not Bombs Kuala Lumpur.
