[1] The first new recording, a song titled "The Greatest Skeptic" from their upcoming album, was released online[2] on the band's website in September 2011.

Ranging from the intense, hardcore-inspired waves of chaos, to the quiet, ambient, dreamlike passages, the music heard on “Acronycal” represented the daily struggles in life and the pursuit to find happiness.

The 10 tracks showed that the band takes pride in their musical influences by acknowledging their many inspirations like Glassjaw, the Deftones or Refused etc.

After a line-up change Viktor Sági became the new guitarist, with whom vocalist Zoltan had already played together within their previous band Velvet Stab.

[12] In late September Shell Beach announced their first European mini-tour with The Southern Oracle and Stubborn playing in cities such as Bratislava, Košice, Kraków, Opava, Hengelo, Zwijndrecht, Plochingen, Zürich, Frankfurt, and Prague.

In May 2018 the band announced[13] an EU tour with Adam Kills Eve and major line-up changes, including a new drummer, new vocalist and the return of Viktor Sági on guitars.
