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-'90s, 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, FL, 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's A Profound Hatred Of Man, replaced by Chad Gilbert in time for the band's full-length debut, Hearts Once Nourished With Hope And Compassion.
