Shortly before the release of the 2006 album A Line of Deathless Kings, Shaun announced his permanent departure from My Dying Bride due to health concerns.[1]

In the band's official statement concerning his departure, Shaun is quoted as saying, "I would just like to salute MDB for the good times and wish them all well in the future, I feel I am not ready to fulfill the duties in a manner befitting MDB at this time and have decided to stand down. I am sad to be leaving but at this time I feel it is for the greater good of the band".[2]

Shaun also recorded drums with the Norwegian metal band Vestige of Virtue alongside Kjetil Ottersen and Frode Forsmo.[3]

Shaun returned to My Dying Bride as a studio drummer for their 2012 album A Map of All Our Failures. In May 2013, shaun also replaced Hayley Morgan in Yorkshire black metal band Severed Heaven. After 2 years with the band he left and joined Darkher.
