This is great! I'm 42 and I remember buying their first album in high school and falling in love with them. It's funny though how matt fox says his guitar patterns on the first album were standard.
So slept on, My favorite hardcore band. Power Kingdom represent. Saw them at the Chance in Poughkeepsie countless times with E Town, Candiria, and Hatebreed. A youth well wasted.
You're doing the younger scene kids a massive favour by putting this together. I'm sure you're already aware of the Zombie Apocalypse side project as well. The last time I saw Shai Hulud was in a community hall in Melbourne, Australia, on a Sunday afternoon, over fifteen years ago. Of course they ripped it 🤘🥇
GOD BLESS YOU CHAD ... ILL PRAY FOR YOU .. I WANT UPDATES ON CANCER ... SHAI HULUD IS THE OG.s of hard-core...timeless ...I gotta see a show ... I missed them do to prison but now I'm free and I gotta see them
at 8:42, did you describe BTBAM as pompous? i would be very interested in a video outlining your take on BTBAM. i always found their first few albums to be enjoyable but i admit i never dug to deep into them as a band.
btbam is my favorite band and colors is my favorite album so im biased, but essentially colors was described as their "do or die" album. they were lumped into the standard metalcore scene where they were too proggy for hardcore kids and too extreme for prog nerds, so they decided to culminate all of their influences into one grand album whose lyrics are a statement on how music is the most important thing to them and its all they have when they die. i think what he meant is pompous is that its overtly grand, bold, and lacks subtlety, but its still a masterpiece of metal music 😂
@@corduroy3219 i would say colors is one of those rare albums of creative brilliance, in which i think had many subtle nods to their influences. yes at its core the music was in your face but there is also emotion ranging far more than just aggressive. as far as pompous, i don't think i would go so far as to characterize them as such. in fact i would say it completely off the mark and a misrepresentation. unless there is something i don't know about the band
@@JakeWillis31 yeah btbam is my favorite band of all time just because of how they can be very proggy without losing aggression. Bands like dream theater just don’t do it for me because they sound like they don’t have balls 😭 meanwhile btbam has blast beats brutal riffs and calm clean sections in the same song. The wildest contrast in their discography is comparing the start of “ad a dglmut” to the middle of that song.
Ok, so! I just finished watching and I gotta say: thank you. It warms my heart to know that this band means as much to someone as it always has to me/us. If our entire career led to reaching just one person and them "getting it" as well as you do, it would be enough. Everyone watching this: do what he says! 🖤
These guys were my all time fav band. HONWHAC had incredible epic riffs in a style no one else was doing at the time. Still had that chuggy hardcore feel that was great for singalongs, fingerpointing, and stagediving at live shows. The scooped guitars sucked but at least they were still in standard tuning at the time. Lyrics were over-the-top earnest but still righteous. "Depravity, a thing of the past! A life not in vain!" Last 2 full lengths would have appealed to me more if they stayed rooted in the groove and simplicty of hardcore and the guitar lines took a backseat now and then. We're older now, but I'll always love that 1st album.
Not being into that moshy break down kind of hardcore...needless the say when That Within Blood ill Tempered got release...it blew my mind. We had similar bands in Belgium with Course of Action. Both never got the credit they deserved
I can’t believe in the course of this video, there was no mention of their lyrics. Hulud has the best lyrics of any band. Of any genre. Ever. The only band I would say is close them lyrically is Bad Religion. Also, I think Misanthropy Pure is actually their worst album. I really dislike the production, and the vocals. Plus, they were starting to be complex just to be complex, by even Matt’s own admission. Geert’s version of Set Your Body Ablaze on the split is infinitely better than the re-recording. All that being said, it’s really cool you did this, Hulud is one of the most honest and unique bands in all of hardcore.

One of the hardest working bands of all time. They absolutely live and breathe this shit
Shai Hulud are peak "your favorite band's favorite band"
Shai Hulud is my all-time favorite band. I’m so happy to see someone finally do a deep dive on them.
Fantastic Job
They're the best metalcore band of all time. Period.
Probably, to anyone under 30, best describe it as really good real punk instead of metalcore :)

Fantastic video, love shai hulud
Wow awesome mini doc! I have full set from 98 that I will be uploading soon, love them since 97!

Is one of the best band of all time. Matt is both a great musician and a genuine good human being.
Damien Moyal was in them in the beginning - who also was in Morning Again, which is another underrated revolutionary band.

Shhhhhhhh Shai Hulud is our secret! They are not worthy!
Bro it’s been ten years since their last full length of original material, lol

Пиздец! Лучшая БАНДА!
Covey isn't an ass kisser but he's definitely a social butterfly lol
Sincerely Hated. Shai Hulud lives in my heart.

Metalcore? Ehh. Shia Hulud is a punk hardcore band through and through. The best easily.
Sounded emo to me
