Shai Hulud


A positively themed metalcore band with some straight edge and Christian leanings, the influential Shai Hulud has maintained a strong band identity since their original formation in the mid of 90's, even though their apparent inability to stick with one lineup, label, hometown, or even band name has left them with a convoluted history.
Shai Hulud formed in Pompano Beach, Florida, taking their name from the giant desert worms central to Frank Herbert's Dune mythology. The original lineup consisted of guitarists Matt Fox and Oliver Chapoy, bassist Dave Silber, and drummer Steve Kleisath, who split his time between Shai Hulud and Strongarm. Original singer Damian Moyal left the band during sessions for their first EP, 1997 A Profound Hatred of Man, replaced by Chad Gilbert in time for the band full-length debut, Hearts Once Nourished with Hope and Compassion.
Over the course of several split EP's, 1998 The Fall of Every Man with Indecision, 2000 A Whole New Level of Sickness (Together on One Convenient Format) with Another Victim, and Crush 'Em All, Vol. 1 with Boysetsfire, the band lineup continued its mutations, with new member Matt Fletcher first replacing Chapoy on guitar before shifting to bass, Gilbert leaving to play guitar in New Found Glory, and Kleisath leaving to form Further Seems Forever with Dashboard Confessional Chris Carrabba.
By the time the band recorded their second full-length album, 2003 That Within Blood Ill Tempered, the lineup had moved from Florida to Poughkeepsie, NY, and settled down to a relatively stable quartet: new recruit Geert van der Velde on vocals, Fox, Fletcher, and drummer Tony Tintari. After van der Welde departed the band in 2004, Fletcher and Fox announced that Shai Hulud was disbanding following a brief farewell tour (with Gilbert temporarily returning on vocals) and the pair was forming a new band, the Warmth of Red Blood.
Following the 2005 release of the wryly titled odds and sods compilation A Comprehensive Retrospective: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Release Bad and Useless Recordings, Fletcher and Fox reversed course, and in the spring of 2006 announced that Shai Hulud was re-forming with a new lineup featuring singer Eric Dellon (who is also in Fletcher and Fox's tongue-in cheek thrash side project Zombie Apocalypse), second guitarist Ryan Burns, and drummer Brian Go. The re-formed Shai Hulud signed with Metal Blade Records and began work on a new album in the summer of 2006, while former label Revelation Records released a compilation called A Profound Hatred of Man that gathered the EP of that title along with all of the non LP and split EP tracks the band recorded between 1997 and 2001.

Slayer - South of Heaven (1988)

When it comes to death metal, no band is more convincing than Slayer. For other bands, focusing on death, Satanism, the supernatural, and the occult became a cliché; but Slayer controversial reflections on evil always came across as honest and heartfelt. The group sincerity is the thing that makes South of Heaven so disturbing and powerful. when the influential thrashers rip into such morbid fare as "Spill the Blood," "Mandatory Suicide," and "Ghosts of War," they are frighteningly convincing. With their fourth album, Slayer began to slow their tempos without sacrificing an iota of heaviness or incorporating any pop elements.

Slayer - Reign in Blood (1986)

Widely considered the pinnacle of speed metal, Reign in Blood is Slayer undisputed masterpiece, a brief (under half an hour) but relentless onslaught that instantly obliterates anything in its path and clears out just as quickly. Producer Rick Rubin gives the band a clear, punchy sound for the first time in its career, and they largely discard the extended pieces of Hell Awaits in favor of lean assaults somewhat reminiscent of hardcore punk (though distinctly metallic and much more technically demanding). Reign in Blood opens and closes with slightly longer tracks (the classics "Angel of Death" and "Raining Blood") whose slower riffs offer most of the album few hints of melody. Sandwiched in between are eight short (all under three minutes), lightning, fast bursts of aggression that change tempo or feel without warning, producing a disjointed, barely controlled effect. The album is actually more precise than it sounds, and not without a sense of groove, but even in the brief slowdowns, the intensity never lets up. There may not be much variation, but it's a unified vision, and a horrific one at that. The riffs are built on atonal chromaticism that sounds as sickening as the graphic violence depicted in many of the lyrics, and Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman demented soloing often mimics the screams of the songs victims. It's monstrously, terrifyingly evocative, in a way that transcends Reign in Blood metal origins. The album almost single, handedly inspired the entire death metal genre (at least on the American side of the Atlantic), and unlike many of its imitators, it never crosses the line into self parodic overkill. Reign in Blood was a stone cold classic upon its release, and it hasn't lost an ounce of its power today.

Slayer - Live Undead (1985)

Recorded and released as a follow up to the Haunting the Chapel EP, specifically during the tour for that effort (though apparently actually in a studio with a few hypercharged fans in audible attendance), Live Undead shows the band still coming together in ways. Hell Awaits was around the corner and Reign in Blood further off yet, so the set relies on their earliest material, sometimes striking but formative nonetheless. But if nothing else Tom Araya part snarling and part merry way around death, doom, and destruction was already nearly settled, only one or two Rob Halford level shrieks sneak through here and there ("The Antichrist" cartoonishly so) while the full quartet's Judas Priest-Iron Maiden in absolute overdrive approach was already paying off. Dave Lombardo's drumming handled the steadier stomp of songs like "Die by the Sword" solidly while going to town on "Captor of Sin" and particularly "Evil Has No Boundaries," the best performance of the seven songs. Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King — the latter featuring a slightly unfortunate hairdo on the back cover, strike just enough of a balance, however unexpectedly, between technical skill and flailing chaos. Hell Awaits eventually brought all the newer changes out in fuller force, even with subpar production, so Live Undead isn't really necessary except for the hardest of hardcore fans in the end, especially in comparison to Decade of Aggression. Still, it does have its "it could only be Slayer" moments, including Araya almost casual way of rudely introducing "Captor of Sin." [Some early CD versions include the original version of "Chemical Warfare" from Haunting the Chapel as a mighty fine bonus.]

All Saints - All Saints (1997)

After something so Heavy as Slayer is Why can not return to basics? Slightly more pop and by a request, I will. The music as it is (believe it or not) mark times in our lives, many of them with indelible memories. One of them is probably my adolescence, with a myriad of changes and perhaps the brain a sponge, literally, since at that stage absorb everything in this case talking specifically about music, not necessarily bad, so here are the All Saints, maybe it´s a step that would remove, but can not because it is a step that complements me. Those unfamiliar with pop music would be forgiven for confusing All Saints with another hotly tipped music property, the Spice Girls. The four members of All Saints could have stood for Spice Girls body doubles in a lineup: two brunettes, one blonde, and one of West Indian descent. While the Spice Girls were always pure pop and barely musically functional, the members of All Saints, however, were songwriters and music aficionados with a softer, more intelligent image less tied to their looks than their music.

The group came together in 1993 when Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis began recording and writing at a studio on All Saints Road, in London's Ladbroke Grove. The duo hooked up with R&B vocalist Simone Rainford and released a single for ZTT Records in 1995, then parted ways with Rainford and were dumped by the label. Undeterred, Blatt and Lewis recruited native Canadian Nicole Appleton and, later, her big sister Natalie, to make All Saints a quartet.

With the help of friend Karl Gordon (formerly part of the British rap ensemble Outlaw Posse), All Saints recorded a demo of the song "I Know Where It's At." New manager John Benson signed the girls to London Records and connected them with top-flight producers Nellee Hooper (Massive Attack, Björk) and Cameron McVey (Neneh Cherry). Fully recorded, "I Know Where It's At" hit number four on the British charts and crossed over throughout Europe and Asia.



By 1997, All Saints had reached the top spot with their second single, "Never Ever." The quartet released their self-titled debut album in November 1997, and began to grow in America as well, hitting the Top 40 with "I Know Where It's At." By 1998, All Saints was certified platinum in the U.S. and five-times platinum in the U.K., but rumors of split between the group started to brew. Melanie Blatt was expecting her first child with Jamiroquai's Stuart Zender and gossip claimed she was leaving All Saints. Nicole Appleton was also rumored to have walked out of the band after the group failed to show up for the Smash Hits Poll Winners' celebration that year.

In early 2000, their William Orbit-produced single "Pure Shores" was included on the soundtrack to the Leonardo DiCaprio film, The Beach. Countless festival shows across the U.K. also redefined All Saints' staying power despite their shaky unit. The long-awaited sophomore effort, Saints & Sinners, was finally issued in October 2000, boosting second single "Black Coffee" into the charts, but still, trouble loomed ahead. By the start of 2001, tours of Japan and Australia were canceled. Jealousy was the culprit, for Lewis and Blatt were ill-disposed of the Appleton sisters' celebrity status, especially Natalie's relationship with the Prodigy's Liam Howlett and Nicole's with Oasis mad man Liam Gallagher. In February 2001, the split was finalized. Blatt released her first single, "Twentyfourseven," in the summer and Shaznay Lewis was writing with All Saints producer K Gee. The Appletons were cutting material as well as making plans for a tell-all book. All Hits, a greatest-hits collection of singles and a limited-edition DVD, was issued in fall 2001, marking the bitter end for the All Saints.

Bloodsimple - A Cruel World (2005)

New York City metalcore band Bloodsimple were formed from the ashes of influential Hardcore/Thrash Metal act Vision of Disorder. After VoD's 2001 album, From Bliss to Devastation, received a lukewarm response from fans and critics, the group went on hiatus, and in 2002 the bandmembers announced their breakup. By this time, lead singer Tim Williams and guitarist Mike Kennedy had already begun working on material for a new project; originally called Fix 8, the group started life as a side project, but with the breakup of VoD and the arrival of guitarist Nick Rowe, Bloodsimple took on a life of their own. After the addition of bassist Kyle Sanders (ex-Medication and Skrew) and drummer Chris Hamilton (formerly with Downset, Crowbar, and Deadbolt), the members of Bloodsimple began writing songs and recording demos, and they attracted the attention of Chad Gray of the band Mudvayne, who signed the group to his label, Bullygoat Records (which is distributed by Warner Bros/Reprise). Bloodsimple's first album, A Cruel World, was released in the spring of 2005, and the band hit the road, sharing stages with the likes of Superjoint Ritual, American Head Charge, Soulfly, Six Feet Under, and Stone Sour. In 2007 the band was part of the popular heavy metal package show The Family Value Tour, and in the fall of that year the group released its second full-length album. Entitled Red Harvest, the album was Bloodsimple's first recording with drummer Will Hunt, who was one of several drummers recruited by Bloodsimple to handle percussion chores after Chris Hamilton left the group.
