Shards of Broken was/is the result of over three years of
experimentation and change. Formed in the summer of 2002
what was started as a three-piece quickly grew to a five
member band by February of 2003. After releasing their first
EP "Bathed in the Blood of the Wicked" they enjoyed
a marginal popularity increase under their previous name
of Qualler. Throughout this process every original member
would wind up parting ways with the band for various reasons.
