Career
Fox writes the most of the Shai Hulud"s musical and lyrical output. He has also played guitar in many other rock bands, like Planet X, The Murrychesstoes, The One Eyed Kings, Unwillful Demise, South.F.B and Bingo Mutual Fox is credited with popularising the "metalcore" term in the late 90s/early 2000s, identifying bands like Earth Crisis, Deadguy and Integrity as metalcore bands, even calling Shai Hulud a metalcore band back thenas a tongue-in-cheek term with his friends.
However, in some interviews, he has stated that he no longer considers Shai Hulud a metalcore band, since the term "has lost its original meaning", id est (that is) hardcore bands with a "heavier" sound.
Fox even called the genre "trite" and "shallow music," "made by people that imitate it rather than love lieutenant"
