Never did guitarist Matt Fox think Shai Hulud would go any further than a demo tape or 7". How wrong he was. Shai Hulud's history includes numerous national and foreign tours with all of the biggest acts in hardcore, a strong force that made it through multiple lineup changes, and lyrics that have helped plenty of fans battle the hardships of life. But you can't forget where it all began: A Profound Hatred Of Man demonstrated a technical hardcore style that influenced the entire metalcore scene and broke through lyrical theme barriers. There is no better place to start for a Shai Hulud first-timer than with A Profound Hatred Of Man. For those coming back around for the second time, it's a whole new world of sound and image but still holds true the Shai Hulud message.
