Following their triumphant reunion show with former vocalist Geert van
der Velde at Furnace Fest 2024, legendary American progressive
metalcore band Shai Hulud is thrilled to announce their return to the
road in 2025. The upcoming European tour will mark Shai Hulud’s first
extended run of shows in nearly two decades, featuring van der Velde
on vocals.
The Furnace Fest performance was a monumental moment in the
band’s history, bringing together, for the first time since 2004, the full
lineup that recorded the landmark 2003 album That Within Blood
Ill-Tempered. For many fans, it was the first chance to see van der Velde
back on the mic, and he did not disappoint. If anything, the general
consensus is that his vocals have grown stronger and even more
ferocious with time, while his stage energy remains freshly vital and
unrelenting.
The chemistry on stage was undeniable, a testament to the band’s
enduring spirit and technical mastery. Fans and newcomers alike were
left buzzing about the energy, emotion, and sheer force of the
performance.
While the upcoming tour will feature Shai Hulud's current lineup, van der
Velde will once again take up vocal duties, delivering performances that
span the band’s celebrated catalog, including a spotlight on tracks from
