Shai Hulud will be heading out on a brief U.S. tour with support coming from Dwell.
Elaborates mainman Matt Fox, "Hello friends. Here are a couple of Summer dates in the US and Canada, followed by four dates in Japan with our dear friends in Endzweck. See yous there? Excellent. We're looking forward to it. Very Mean Pete of Remembering Never/xBishopx will be fronting us because Henry Rollins has called in sick. It happens. If there are any more shows this year, they will be sporadic and most likely in unlikely places so come rage while you can. The rest of the year we will be writing new music so we can attempt to cut our usual time in-between full-length albums by one full year. Exciting, ain't it? We think so, too. Love. Respect. Hate. Piss. Moan. Sincerely Hated, Your friendly neighborhood SHAI HULUD."

SHAI HULUD will be kicking off their live campaign in support of Reach Beyond the Sun this February with four shows throughout the east coast. These shows precede the band's trip to Australia for the annual Soundwave Festival (Metallica, The Offspring, Slayer), as well as their recently announced European tour with Propagandhi.


Comments SHAI HULUD's Matt Fox: "The opportunity to tour Europe is not something we will ever take for granted. Before our first trip in 1999, the idea of touring another country was something only "real" bands did. We were kids, fanboys ripping off our favorite bands. All we ever wanted to do was try to make someone else feel something resembling what we felt when listening to the bands who inspired us. We never thought our name or music would get out of South Florida. Somehow it made it to Europe, and we graciously followed.

"Since 1999 we have now been to Europe countless times, having played some our most memorable, emotional, and altogether unbelievable shows there, across many different countries. Where we once had what some refer to as "fans," we now have friends, some so close they are practically family. We cherish the relationships we have made in Europe: personal, musical, lyrical, and in most cases all of the above.

"In 2013 we are returning to Europe with Propagandhi, one of our all time favorite bands. This will be yet another extremely special tour we are fortunate enough to share with our European family. Young and not as young, faces new and familiar, we're grateful to make new memories and rage with everyone soon!"

Legendary hardcore/metal innovators, Shai Hulud, are preparing to record their fourth album (second for Metal Blade Records) in April 2012. This album will serve as the follow up to 2008's critically acclaimed Misanthropy Pure. Matt Fox, Matt Fletcher and co. have completed writing the new album, and have confirmed that they've enlisted the production talents of original Hulud vocalist and current New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert, the vocalist on Shai Hulud's debut full length album "Hearts Once Nourished With Hope And Compassion"! Gilbert's production resume includes work with H20, A Day To Remember, Terror, Trapped Under Ice, Set Your Goals, and more.

Chad Gilbert elaborates: "Matt Fox from Shai Hulud hit me up while on tour about potentially producing their new album. I immediately thought it could be an interesting and fun team up but I really wanted to hear new demos before agreeing. He sent me a few new songs and I was pleasantly surprised! The songs were awesome and felt very classic; the melodic hardcore metal they are already admired for but taken to another level. I think with us teamed up we can make the best Shai Hulud record yet!"

Matt Fox adds: "It started with this riff. Like a lot of albums do. It's a pretty cool riff, Chad liked it, so I showed him a few more. He seemed to like the others, and had some really cool ideas for them, too. This was a few years ago, and that's when we first entertained the idea working on a record together.

Fast forward to when we are almost ready to book studio time… let's see if Chad remembers any of those riffs. He remembered liking them, and asked to hear more. By this time some of these riffs made it into completed songs. We were pretty happy to hear he liked how everything evolved, and that he'd be interested in working with us on the next Shai Hulud album.

I remember at 14 years old or so I was extremely excited because Wolverine was teaming up with the Punisher in "Punisher: War Journal". I don't know if anything can match that youthful elation, but this is right up there, pretty damn close."

This collaboration is in addition to the recently announced Revelation Records 25th anniversary shows: Gilbert will perform with Shai Hulud on June 8th and June 10th at the Glasshouse in Pomona, CA. Hulud will be performing alongside Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, Sick of it All, and more.

Matt Fox explains the significance of the anniversary shows:
"My introduction to Revelation Records was Bold's "Looking Out." Youth Of Today gave me comfort and pride about being "different." Sick Of It All helped change my life. Chain Of Strength remains a strong influence and constant inspiration. Burn destroyed whatever parameters I thought there were in hardcore. And if I had to pick one album to be thee "classic" Hardcore record of all time, I'd choose "Start Today" by Gorilla Biscuits.

Before Revelation even knew what the hell a Shai Hulud was, they gave us a lot. To be included on these anniversary shows is an honor, and we wanted to do something to help add to the nostalgic feel of the shows commemorating Revelation Records' 25th anniversary. Having Chad rage through the songs he originally recorded with us that inaugurated us to the label seemed befitting. We're extremely fortunate to have existed all these years, and still be able to embrace our beginnings with open arms. It brings great joy to our little black hearts."

Chad Gilbert adds:"Shai Hulud and Revelation Records brought up the idea of me singing for the band at the upcoming Revelation 25th Anniversary shows so of course I said yes. Shai Hulud was a big part of my life and so was Revelation! Being a part of it really feels like an anniversary for me and the band, I wouldn't miss it!"

Shai Hulud has spent the last five years on the road promoting their previous album, Misanthropy Pure. Touring has taken them across the US, Mexico, and Canada, to Europe, Australia and Southeast Asia. They've been banned by Disney as one of the bands not allowed to play at House of Blues Anaheim/Orlando, yet their music continues to inspire fans worldwide, whether via their albums, live at festivals, or hole-in-the-wall clubs. Misanthropy Pure was praised by fans and press, including Alternative Press Magazine: "Misanthropy is one giant, brain-rattling testament to the genre-blurring finesse of bands masterminds Matt Fox (guitar) and Matt Fletcher (bass), who fuse good, old-fashioned circle-pit hardcore with hair-whipping shred-metal, leaving us all the merrier for it." Noisecreep.com more recently commented, "Matt Fox might not be a household name, but his influence on modern metal is irrefutable."

The Dave Brodsky directed video for Misanthropy Pure can be seen on Metal Blade TV HERE. Updates on the progress of the new album will be posted as they are made available. For the most immediate updates, make sure to follow Shai Hulud via the sites listed below.

Shai Hulud will kick off 2012 with a co-headlining tour alongside A Plea For Purging. Support on the tour comes from Counterparts and Dead Icons. The tour begins on February 23th in Danbury, CT and wraps up March 18th in Evansville, IN. Additionally, Shai Hulud, will be playing four headlining shows in Mexico from March 8th-11th.

Shai Hulud is currently writing the follow-up to their latest album, Misanthropy Pure. The band plans on recording after this tour.

Matt Fox adds, "When I was in high school I proudly wore a Slayer "Hell Awaits" back patch on my patch and pin riddled jean jacket on top of a Who Framed Roger Rabbit t-shirt while skipping classes in Batman Converse high tops. I never gave a fuck about looking cool. In form, when given the opportunity Shai Hulud tours with bands we think we might like to be around. We're happy to be hitting the road with our pals in Counterparts, and soon-to-be pals in A Plea For Purging and Dead Icons. And what's more, I'd probably kill to have that Roger Rabbit shirt again."

"If indeed the moon ends up in the Seventh House, and Jupiter aligns with Mars we should be recording a new album this Spring. We spend a good deal of time working on our songs because we give a shit about music. With more ideas than solos or breakdowns, we mean to make Jello Biafra proud. And hopefully you as well. You'll have to let us know if we did just that. Be of good cheer, excelsiors all around."

Here's what press said about Misanthropy Pure:
"Matt Fox might not be a household name, but his influence on modern metal is irrefutable." Noisecreep.com

"Misanthropy Pure sees Shai back at their heavy-riffing, temp-shifting best" 4/5 stars, Revolver Magazine

"Misanthropy is one giant, brain-rattling testament to the genre-blurring finesse of bands masterminds Matt Fox (guitar) and Matt Fletcher (bass), who fuse good, old-fashioned circle-pit hardcore with hair-whipping shred-metal, leaving us all the merrier for it." 4/5 stars, Alternative Press

"The complex, string-hopping and mind-bending guitar runs played on "Venomspreader" and "Chorus Of The Dissimilar", hell the entire album, walk that thin line between discombobulating and awe-inspiring." Blabbermouth.net

"Misanthropy Pure is the sound of a band pushing the boundaries of what technical hardcore can be." Ultimate-Guitar.com

A Plea for Purging is excited to announce their first tour of the new year on which they'll be joined by co-headliners Shai Hulud.

As a long time fan of Shai Hulud, I am honored to share the stage with them on our upcoming, co-headlining tour with them. I'm sure I will lose my mind every night. They are legendary. We both are very lucky to have Counterparts and Dead Icons come out and support this tour. Both bands are killer and will be a great fit to this run. - Andy Atkins

The Hope Within Hatred tour, supported by Counterparts and Dead Icons, kicks off February 23 in Danbury, CT and wraps up March 18 in Evansville, IN. See below for full tour dates.

Plea has also just released a live video for "The Life", a song from their 2011 release The Life and Death of A Plea For Purging. The band explains how the video came about:

While on last year's "The Life and Tour of A Plea for Purging" we had a chance to hangout with our good friend, Mark Eshleman of Reel Bear Media, whom we have worked with in the past on "The Eternal Female." With one camera and an ecstatic Dayton, OH crowd, Mark shot some footage that would become a live video for "The Life." We are very happy with the way it turned out and owe it all to Mark and his neat camera.

Check out the live video for "The Life" HERE.
