SHAFT were a German band from the Ruhrpott Area and were the first to completely catch on to what was going on in Belgium in 1995/1996 : the birth and development of the H8000 movement and they meant it. They came to all the shows and completely followed the trend : in 1996 they went into the Midas Studios with Tony De Block, the cult-producer at the time, in part responsible for the sound and success of bands like CONGRESS, LIAR, REGRESSION, SEKTOR, VITALITY - you name 'em - all the H8000 bands recorded there ! Great death metal/metalcore with lyrics emphasizing the atheist beliefs of singer Dirk Jochums. They took the Belgian H8000 sound (even recording in one of the more popular studios for H8000 bands to record at, Studio Midas) and adding death metal influences to it, slightly similar to Deformity. This might also be why they seemed way more popular in Belgium (especially the H8000 area) than in Germany. Besides this a MCD and the aformentioned split CD with Jane they also released a very limited 7" on Stormstrike Records (200 copies total).
