Hearts Once Nourished with Hope and Compassion is the first full length album by hardcore punk band Shai Hulud, released on November 4, 1997, on the Revelation Records' subsidiary, Crisis Records, in CD/LP and 12" clear brown (106 press). It is now sold through Revelation Records. It was reissued in a remastered/remixed enhanced[1] form with new artwork on August 29, 2006. The enhanced features are the original releases' MP3s, before the remastering process. It is considered an influential record in the hardcore punk/metalcore scene.[2][3][4]
The sample played at the end of "Solely Concentrating on the Negative Aspects of Life" is Bill Murray saying "It's gonna be cold. It's gonna be gray. And it's gonna last you for the rest of your life" in the 1993 film Groundhog Day.
A music video was made for "My Heart Bleeds the Darkest Blood" in 1998.
The lyrics of "Outside the Boundaries of a Friend" are inspired by a unrequited love of guitarist Matt Fox.[5]
An early version of "Beyond Man" called "Favor" is featured on the A Comprehensive Retrospective: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Release Bad and Useless Recordings compilation from the 1995 demo.
The lyrics of "Eating Bullets of Acceptance" talk about how some vegans idealise and have a sense of superiority over others. The song was written by Dave Silber, a vegan.
The original name of "For the World" was "Sauve Qui Peut" (Save Yourself, in literal translation from French). The early 1995 demo version of the song can be found in A Comprehensive Retrospective: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Release Bad and Useless Recordings and the Plea For Peace/Take Action compilation. The song was written by Damien Moyal.
The techno/industrial version of "If Born From This Soil", entitled "If Born From This Soil: Treatments for the Infected Foetus", was arranged by Jonathan Wright and his project, Minor Procedure.
The sample that closes the record is Sigourney Weaver in Alien (1979) saying, "This is Lieutenant Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off."
In the thanks list, Will Haven is thanked twice.
