Metal
Blade Records is pleased to announce the signing of
SHAI HULUD!
Yes
the rumors are true… Shai Hulud is back together
and has recently signed a deal with Metal Blade Records
and are about to hit the road for a string of dates
in Europe with Parkway Drive and Remembering Never
. Shortly after Shai Hulud returns to the states they
will head out with Dead To Fall, Twelve Tribes, and
label mates Phoenix Mourning for the Call No Man Happy
Who Is Not Dead Tour sponsored by PureVolume,
LambGoat
& Metal
Maniacs. Once the band is done touring
they will spend the winter months writing material
for their Metal Blade debut which will be out in the
Spring/Summer 2007. More information will be made
available as it comes in including tour updates from
the guys, updates on the writing process, what studio
and producer they plan on going with and studio reports
once they start recording.
"
Having been intensely fanatic about the majority of
their bands (yes, even The Goo Goo Dolls, but more
so Cryptic Slaughter) for upwards of 20 years, we
are honored to be welcomed to their family. Like I
told the label, Metal Blade may very well be
more responsible for raising me than my mother. Sorry
Mom, but you must admit I spent quite a lot of time
with Slayer and Voivod in those formative years...
We
plan on spending this coming winter writing for our
Metal Blade debut. This summer, in case those interested
aren't aware, we are touring Europe with our pals
in Remembering Never and Parkway Drive. We follow
that up with two 3 week jaunts in The States with
yet more pals of ours; the first 3 weeks we'll be
out with Dead To Fall and Phoenix Mourning. The second
3 weeks 100 Demons picks up where Dead To Fall leaves
off, and Iowa 's premier bodybuilders Ignite The Will
join us for select dates. Twelve Tribes and One Dead
Three Wounded will be rocking the tour all 6 weeks.
All in all that's not such a bad way to spend some
time. We're more than happy to worsen our hearing
with such quality noise. We're definitely too old.
Turn it down!" Matt Fox Shai Hulud
"
All of us here at Metal Blade are absolutely thrilled
to be working with a band that is as influential as
Shai Hulud and can' t wait to get started working
their MB debut. We definitely expect to see great
things from Matt Fox and Co. and will make sure we
do everything in our power to help them along the
way. 2007 is going to be one hell of a year for Metal
Blade and I' m grateful that Shai Hulud will be a
part of that." Metal Blade
"
I remember seeing Shai Hulud at Furnace Fest 2002
and they were the best band there! They've influenced
so many of the bands that are up and coming right
now, including As I Lay Dying. When Matt first sent
me the new demos, I was honored to give my recommendation
to Metal Blade and I' m happy to see they are now
part of the MB family." Tim Lambesis
As I Lay Dying
"
Shai Hulud were one of the pioneers of melodic hardcore.
When I say melodic, I mean crushing yet melodic music,
with emotionally driven heavy vocals that will tear
your soul open. Without these guys metal/hardcore
would not sound the way it does today. They were and
still are a musical influence for me." Trevor
