Shai Hulud to tour with New Found Glory!

Shai Hulud will be taking the spot of recently disbanded Verses on New Found Glory’s upcoming headlining tour with Bayside & Set Your Goals. For those unaware, Chad Gilbert of NFG is an original member of Hulud…so he may or may not be joining them on stage… updates straight from the sources (Matt Fox & Chad Gilbert) are below.

 

“Greetings Programettes,

 

You must have been worried sick. It's been what... a while, no? Please accept our humblest apologies for our lack of writings and updates. Worry not, we're just fine and wearing the same underwear since the last time you heard from us. We hope you are as well.

 

We've had a lot of great experiences the past few months, many of which we meant to immediately document on cyberspace, but eBay often gets in the way. All that Planet of the Apes and Micronauts stuff to drool over; that takes up a lot of time, and quite a bit of drool. But I digress. We'll get to some of the older bits after we comment on current and upcoming happenings because we can't very well live in the past anymore than we already do. Not without a Delorean. And jigawatts. We'll need jigawatts. 1.21 to be exact.

 

Continuing our mission to relentlessly tour, and damage and drive our bodies and van straight into the ground, we have two months worth of two tours to announce. We'll be out supporting Stick To Your Guns along with In Fear And Faith and Stray From The Path for just about two weeks starting in early March. A righteous run you say? Indeed, but wait there's more. Directly after our stint with the aforementioned, we join up with Set Your Goals and Bayside to assist them in supporting A New Found Glory (minus the "A") as they support their forthcoming album Not Without A Fight. Now that's not something you see every day! For those of you who might not know, New Found Glory and Shai Hulud are more closely related than you might realize: we both started in South Florida back in the 90's together, we always stayed friendly and in touch, and early on even shared a member. As unique as the pairing may seem, it's also a perfect fit - and that's not mentioning NFG's clear and obvious ties to the hardcore scene. Chad Gilbert has an original press of Start Today on vinyl... and you don't. So there. Not so harder-core-than-thou now, eh brown cow?

 

We know what you're wondering. The answer is.................. quite possibly. There are no definitive plans for Captain Straight Edge a.k.a. Chadball to hop on the mic and sing a song with us, however, it's certainly not out of the question. We in Shai Hulud would be as pinkly tickled as yourselves to have Chad share the stage with us. As always, the invitation is there. We'll enjoy the moment if and when it arrives. Oh, the torture of uncertainty.

 

Note from Chad of New Found Glory:

“Hello Party People,

As most of you already know, the band VERSE, who was meant to open our "Not Without A Fight" tour has broken up. We were excited to tour with them but that’s life. We have been receiving tons of messages from people asking us about who are we replacing Verse with. Since tickets were already on sale we feel it is only fair to replace them with a band from a similar genre. That way kids who listen to Verse won’t be too disappointed...plus we feel it makes for a better show to have a more diverse lineup.

Now to announce the band:

The band that will replace Verse will be none other than SHAI HULUD!! They are a fellow Floridian band and we grew up in the South Florida scene playing shows side by side. We felt this would be an interesting and fun replacement. They have an awesome album that came out recently called MISANTHROPY PURE.

Check it!

For those of you that could be wondering, I might make an appearance on the mic but I can’t promise or commit to anything. Shai Hulud's singer rules anyway.

Your friend always,

chad”

 

More from Matt Fox:

“Them's the plans for the next couple months anyway. More plans will post here in the near future. How about yourselves, anyone doing anything exciting the next couple of months? Do tell! Anyone excited for Joaquin Pheonix's Hip Hop project? Yeah, us too. Like really. Like... (yawn)... really...

 

Hey! We're always looking to sleep somewhere other than a hotel while on tour. Drop us a line if your floor desperately needs to be crashed on by your homeboys in Shai Hulud. You'll want us to shower, that's for sure. You'll never get a better chance to find out exactly how boring we are until we crash at your place. If we're feeling really crazy, we might even ask you to play a board game. Matt Fletcher might tell a story from his teenage years, and Matt Fox, well, he's been known to drink a Cherry Coke after midnight. Animals. Don't miss this rare opportunity to get up close and personal with us. We promise you, at the very least, great conversations about Thin Lizzy, the Miami Dolphins, and Nuclear Assault, the best in the biz. Get in touch. Our operators are standing by.”

Woe of Tyrants “Break the Fangs of the Wicked” video debut on myspace.com/metal




Ohio’s Woe of Tyrants are currently
debuting their video for Break the Fangs of the Wicked on
myspace.com/metal.
The video was directed by Jake Beemer with Siege Media and filmed at the
Majestic Theatre in Chillicothe,
OH.

 

Vocalist
Chris Catanzaro explains the video and its concept: “We were very honored to
have the opportunity to work with Jake and the crew of Siege Media on our first
video for the new record, "Kingdom
of Might". The song
is entitled "Break the Fangs of the Wicked", and despite being one of
our most popular live songs, Fangs was chosen due to the fact that it
successfully culminates the diversity and overall theme of the entire record.
The video was shot in our hometown of Chillicothe,
OH at the legendary Majestic
Theater. We were fortunate enough to have some close, and very talented,
friends come out to serve as the performers in the video. The storyline follows
the song in that the song is about rising above negativity and evil and going
back to square one in our love for our fellow person. We felt this was an
important message to convey amidst a genre that speaks death almost constantly,
and thanks to the professionalism of the crew we are very confident that it is
going to turn out even better than we initially expected!” - Chris Catanzaro

 

Woe
of Tyrants guitar lesson now up on Ultimate-Guitar.com


 

Head
over to ultimate-guitar.com to check out Matt Kincaid and
John Hehman of Woe of Tyrants as they show you how to play a few of the killer
riffs from Break the Fangs of the Wicked. The video is
available EXCLUSIVELY on ultimate-guitar.com HERE.

 

Woe
of Tyrants will be spending the next few months on the road with Psyopus,
Burning the Masses, Cattle Decapitation and others with dates that include an
appearance at this year’s New England Hardcore and Metal Festival on Friday,
April 17th. Make sure not to miss your chance to see their high

Paria to release the band’s most intricate album to date, “The Barnacle Cordious”, on March 17th




The disease that infiltrates the current trend in music has been
diagnosed, and the prescribed treatment is upcoming Paria
release, The Barnacle Cordious. Care,
detail, consternation and collective intuition lay the foundation for what will
prove to be Paria’s most respected album to date.

 

“Knee jerk reactions are the intention of this record, whether or not
anyone agrees that these reactions are good ones, this album stands on its own.
I’m fully prepared to defend that notion,” guitarist John Claus said about the
effort. 

 

Paria is aware of the importance of improvement and
honing new skills, and while statements such as these may remain trite,
The Barnacle Cordious is anything but
cliché.

 

The Barnacle Cordious track
listing:

1. The Barnacle Cordious

2. Circus

3. The Wallabee Dance Machine

4. Pish-Posh

5. Bomb

6. Rabid McFlygrid

7. Thrash

8. Be

9. I've Never Been Here Before in a Long Time

 

Check out an exclusive track from the release, titled The
Wallabee Dance Machine

BELIEVER releases first single off upcoming release Gabriel!

In honor of the upcoming release Gabriel, Pennsylvania based thrashers BELIEVER are releasing the track Focused Lethality via the band’s MySpace page. The highly anticipated release Gabriel will be available everywhere March 17th, 2009 through Cesspool Recordings /Metal Blade Records.

 

"Focused Lethality was really a return to our straight-ahead thrash style.  We had a great time writing this one and playing it live really brings the energy level up a notch.  We think fans of our early work will sink their teeth into this one” states guitarist/vocalist Kurt Bachman.

 

Gabriel track listing:

1.       Medwton

2.       A Moment In Prime

3.       Stoned

4.       Redshift

5.       History Of Decline

6.       The Need For Conflict

7.       Focused Lethality

8.       Shut Out The Sun

9.       The Brave

10.   Nonsense Mediated Decay

 

Formed in the mid eighties, BELIEVER gained worldwide recognition for their boundary-breaking, artistic form of extreme metal as a part of Roadrunner Records prog-metal/thrash campaign “The Breed Beyond” alongside Cynic and Pestilence. After a long hiatus, Believer is back with an intense fury and the band’s new record, Gabriel, once again sees Believer conquering new musical and artistic territory.  With an upgraded sound and songwriting that has been alluded to as a “sick, insane cross between Tool, Voivod, NIN, and Destruction”, Believer’s 4th release Gabriel shows a band simply not focused on regurgitating and reliving their past. To this end, Bachman and Daub have surrounded themselves with new creative blood in keyboardist/programmer Jeff King, guitarist Kevin Leaman and bassist/programmer Elton Nestler.  Securing a new home with legendary Metal Blade Records, Believer is determined to win over fans of old and new with their brand of ‘Believer-esque’ metal.

"Evisceration Plague, the latest, and very possibly best, album by Cannibal Corpse." Decibel Magazine

 

“Cannibal Corpse have become more than just a band. They’re a culture unto themselves.” Metal Maniacs

 

“Delightfully gruesome and brutally relentless, Evisceration Plague is a masterfully made monstrosity of music created by one of this genre’s founding fathers at the pinnacle of their career. “ Fangoria.com

 

“Some of the best songs on Corpses’ latest, Evisceration Plague, are powered by riffs that most of the so-called “core” bands - even the ones that are legitimately talented - would eat their hearts out for…” MetalSucks.net

 

“…a standard of ultimate brutality and aggression…” Bass Player

 

“Cannibal Corpse has aged like a fine wine: Wine made of flesh and blood with notes of murder and a hint of entrails ripped from a virgin's cunt.” Lambgoat.com

 

“Cannibal Corpse’s brand of audio violence remains a driving force for metal as Evisceration Plague ensures their death metal crown in North America stays untouched.” BW&BK

 

“the biggest death metal band on the planet… Genius.” Total Guitar 4/5 stars

 

“In terms of brutal death metal, Cannibal Corpse continues to set the bar high.” ultimate-guitar.com

 

“The members of Cannibal Corpse are impeccable craftsmen, writing structurally perfect death metal songs like Shakers making austere, beautiful wooden furniture… Cannibal Corpse are the masters of their chosen idiom. Bow down.” The Cleveland Scene

Cattle Decapitation interviewed on ThrasherMagazine.com!

Thrasher Magazine, the world’s foremost authority on all things skating, has conducted an interview with Travis Ryan of Cattle Decapitation. You can head to ThrasherMagazine.com to read the interview and to catch up on the latest news in the world of skating. Thrasher calls Cattle’s latest album, The Harvest Floor, “the band’s most brutally intense work to date."

 

“Cattle Decapitation’s “The Harvest Floor” is an apocalyptic multimedia epic that should not be missed!” Fangoria.com

 

“Cattle Decapitation have the sort of skills that put them squarely at the head of grind’s noisy pack.” MetalSucks.net

 

“In the end, The Harvest Floor is the sound of an assured act firing on all creative cylinders. Even though it’s still so early in the year, this one will probably make the best-of lists come December.” ultimate-guitar.com

Revolver Magazine Bootleg Series: EXCLUSIVE CANCER BATS TRACK, “AGENDA SUICIDE”

Canada’s Cancer Bats have released a cover track for The Faint’s song Agenda Suicide exclusively through Revolver Magazine’s Bootleg series available on the magazine’s website. Head over to

RevolverMag.com to check it out and don’t forget to catch the band live when they hit your town as part of the Rockstar Energy Drink Taste of Chaos alongside Thursday, Bring Me the Horizon, Four Year Strong, and Pierce the Veil.

 

Revolver: In our never-ending quest to give you, the reader, the best music available, we present the Revolver Bootleg series. Throughout each month, we’ll post cool, new, and often-exclusive tracks right here for you to hear before anyone else.

 

This installment is a non-album cut by stoner-rock-influenced Canadian group Cancer Bats. A cover of “Agenda Suicide” by Nebraskan neo-new-wavers The Faint, the song almost made the Bats’ latest, Hail Destroyer (Blackmarket Activities/Metal Blade).

 

Head over to the Revolver site to see what vocalist Liam Cormier has to say about why the track didn’t make the cut but is still unique.

 

“Full of youthful energy and great chops, their second full-length never sounds forced, and the first two tracks alone kick more ass than most bands’ entire discographies.” Revolver - 4/5 stars

 

Hail Destroyer takes everything that made the first [disc] great and amplifies it.” - BW&BK

BELIEVER releases video on how Gabriel cover art was created – exclusively on Decibel Magazine’s site!

Head over to DecibelMagazine.com to check out the exclusive video clip of how the cover art for Believer’s upcoming March 17th release, Gabriel, was created. As viewers will see in the video the cover image, outside of the logo and album title, were COMPLETELY generated outside of Photoshop with a real model, real paint and even real horns. Check it out now at this location.

 

Here’s what the band had to say about the artwork for their upcoming release Gabriel, which happens to be Believer’s first new release in 16 years:  The artwork for Gabriel was born from the talents of Michael Rosner (Roz) and Eye Level Studios. Working with Roz and the Eye Level team has been nothing short of amazing.  The talent of these individuals is staggering and we found ourselves residing in the same crazy, pancake eating, warped dimension when it came to visual concepts.  We tossed many ideas around with Roz but the main focus was to have the artwork compliment the music and vice-versa.  Gabriel has been an artistic collaboration on many levels and the finished product truly highlights the incredible talents of Roz and the Eye Level team.  We're not finished yet, so stay tuned for more Believer/Eye Level madness.
