    It's so perfect that he joined just in time to make Set Your Body Ablaze.

    What a killer story. I can imagine everyone’s reaction when first hearing Geert’s voice. When the split with Another Victim came out, I was such a massive Shai Hulud fan already. And when I saw that split at Newbury Comics one day, I was sideways with excitement. I bought it, tore the plastic wrapping off of it, tossed the cd in the cd player in the car and grabbed the lyric booklet. I had no idea that Chad was no longer on vocals at this point. I remember reading the names of the band lineup in the notes. And I remember feeling so bummed. But when the sound came over the speakers..”Heat, upon heat..upon HEAT”
    And the song exploded into existence, I was so incredibly impressed. The feeling in my chest..my Shai Hulud obsession was instantly magnified. Geert was a perfect fit for the band. His stage presence was the best I’ve ever seen. Shai Hulud shows during that era were epic. The energy was visceral as fuck.

      ​@@UA-camissokewlI actually did sneak LOTR inspired lyrics into TWBIT ;)
      It's true that Matt Fox has always been the main lyricist.
      But, on TWBIT we very much took a collective approach to lyrics writing. Everyone in the band contributed ideas and lyrics with MF functioning as main lyricist, editor.
      But, I contributed a decent amount of lyrics as well as a lot of music to that album.
