Shelter 'Quest For Certainty'

Originally released in 1992, Quest for Certainty collects some of the most essential material from Shelter’s early years and remains a favorite among longtime fans of the band.

The record brings together tracks from the No Compromise and In Defense of Reality EPs, along with Shelter’s contribution to the Voice of the Voiceless compilation, a Black Sabbath cover recorded during the same era, and two live tracks.

Recorded across two different lineups, Quest for Certainty features an incredible cross-section of hardcore musicians, including Ray Cappo (Youth of Today, Better Than a Thousand), Vic DiCara (Inside Out, 108), John Porcelly (Youth of Today, Judge, Gorilla Biscuits), Graham Land (Better Than a Thousand, Battery), and Sammy Siegler (Youth of Today, CIV, Judge, Rival Schools).

Urgent, raw and rooted firmly in the early-’90s hardcore scene, Quest for Certainty captures Shelter during a formative period and stands as an essential companion to the band’s early catalog.
