Child Bite


Child Bite is an American punk/metal band formed in 2005 in Detroit, Michigan. The band's core members are founding vocalist Shawn Knight and longtime bassist Sean Clancy. Child Bite's sound has been described as "enormous and predatory, from the baleful rhythm section to Shawn Knight's ."
In the spring of 2013, the band released a split 7-inch with David Yow of Jesus Lizard and Scratch Acid. Morbid Hits, a collection of Anal Cunt cover songs, was released exclusively as a 5-inch vinyl record in early 2014 via Housecore Records. This release featured the band being fronted by Pantera/Down frontman Phil Anselmo.
As of 2024, Child Bite has toured the U.S. with such acts as Pantera, Lamb of God, Down, Voivod, Negative Approach, Superjoint, Poison Idea, Unsane and more.
