Moyal named the new melodic hardcore band As Friends Rust, after the lyrics ” as days count down and as friends rust from exposure to exposure ,” penned in early 1996 while in Shai Hulud, planned for a song titled “Now Ruin Is”. Instead of using Moyal’s lyrics, Shai Hulud guitarist Matthew Fox wrote new lyrics and the song became ” My Heart Bleeds the Darkest Blood ” (originally sung by Moyal, but later recorded with vocalist Chad Gilbert ). After being kicked out of Shai Hulud, Moyal took the unused lyrics to his next band, Morning Again. While Morning Again did write a song titled “Now Ruin Is” using Moyal’s lyrics, it was thrown out shortly after Moyal was kicked out in June 1996. Moyal again re-used the abandoned lyrics for a Bird of Ill Omen song in August 1996, and a month later As Friends Rust was formed. Bird of Ill Omen later recorded the song “Now Ruin Is” for its debut album, Self, Dare You Still Breathe? , but with vocalist William Shane Post, who replaced Moyal in April 1997.
