Never did guitarist Matt Fox think SHAI HULUD would go any further than a demo tape or 7." How wrong he was. SHAI HULUD's history includes numerous national and foreign tours with all of the biggest acts in hardcore, a strong force that made it through multiple lineup changes, and lyrics that have helped plenty of fans battle the hardships of life. But you can’t forget where it all began: A Profound Hatred Of Man demonstrated a technical hardcore style that influenced the entire metalcore scene and broke through lyrical theme barriers. Not only does this re-issue come with brand new artwork by well known artist Dave Quiggle (SHAI HULUD’s A Comprehensive Retrospective, NO INNOCENT VICTIM, EVERGREEN TERRACE) and a stronger re-mastered sound thanks to Zeuss (HATEBREED, THROWDOWN, SHADOWS FALL) and Alan Douches (THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, MISFITS, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME), but it also includes a bunch of bonus material. For the first time SHAI HULUD has included their entire collection of B-sides, compilation tracks, and other rarities, including but not limited to "Damage, Inc." (METALLICA), "Fearless Vampire Killers" (BAD BRAINS), and "Lost Cause" (NEGATIVE APPROACH). This re-issue also includes both the INDECISION split (Crisis Records) and the ANOTHER VICTIM split (Trustkill Records). All of this turning the former 3-song EP into a full-length’s worth. There is no better place to start for a SHAI HULUD first-timer than with A Profound Hatred Of Man. For those coming back around for the second time, it’s a whole new world of sound and image but still holds true the SHAI HULUD message. "I’m embarrassed to know this soil produced me." - SHAI HULUD (1997)
