Shai Hulud, Dead to Fall, Twelve Tribes, Phoenix Mourning, One Dead Three Wounded.

If you are a fan of current metal/ metalcore, then this show is going to be amazing. Dead to Fall plays in your face, action packed metal, while Phoenix Mourning is more paced to the music they play. Twelve Tribes play technical rock with a message, and Shai Hulud is Shai Hulud. This show will be great!

Still waiting for them to post some Texas dates..

What does Shai Hulud mean?

Shai Hulud comes from Frank Herbert's science fiction epic series, Dune. Shai Hulud are the giant sandworms on the desert planet Arrakis (also known as Dune). Although they are called many different names, when the sandworms are referred to as SHAI-HULUD, it usually indicates the worm as on object of worship in Fremen (natives of Dune) superstitions.

Why use the name Shai Hulud?

Why not!?! OK, seriously folks... When we started, we knew we wanted everything about the band to have significance. The band's name was picked before any lyrics were written. The band that would be named, Shai Hulud, had musical direction, but alas, no motif or theme, therefore, we decided the name should have a literary or cinematic background. After considering many different types of books and movies, we settled on, Dune for its brilliance, and the richness and uniqueness of its characters. We also chose Dune, because we wanted a name from a mature book or movie with a following that was more selective than that of books or movies with tremendous popularity. So, Dune was chosen, but what in tarnation were we going to name the band? Matt Fox (guitar) wanted to name the band, Harkonnen - mainly because of Kenneth McMillan's brilliant portrayal of Baron Harkonnen in the original film, but original bass player Dave Silber wasn't fond of the name. He felt Harkonnen sounded like a name for a "Viking metal band" and also disliked the similarity with the word Hardcore. Shai Hulud was finally chosen as a result of a miscommunication between Matt and Dave (sic). Dave liked the look of the original movie's Third Stage Navigator and suggested that character to name the band after. Matt thought Dave was referring to the sandworms and thus, Shai Hulud, was confirmed. When Matt and Dave watched the movie together, they realized the miscommunication, however, and decided to keep band named Shai Hulud, as it had more of a ring than Third Stage Navigator.

Have you listened to them? Their music is dynamic and their lyrics are some of the most though provoking to date.
