SHAJOL has sought from its inception to fuse the bases of metal music with other genres, creating a new concept of contemporary and extreme music. Its musical composition includes variations in the percussion’s tempo and time signatures, complex performances on the harmonization of strings and ending with guttural vocals inspired by techniques found in Black, Death, Grind and Progressive Metal.

With the recordings from their new 3 song EP, Shajol was invited to tour eight cities across South Africa in December 2012 together with Boargazm(from Pretoria) by local metal promoter and event organizer, Emalyth. 

South African dates were as follows: 
5th December 2012 Rumours - West Rand 
7th December 2012 Black Dahlia - Johannesburg 
8th December 2012 Wolmer Rock Show - Pretoria 
9th December 2012 Red Door - Pietermaritzburg 
11th December 2012 Winston Pub - Durban 
13th December 2012 Raggies - East London 
14th December 2012 DNE Night Club - Port Elizabeth 
15th December 2012 ROAR - Cape Town 

“Device of Madness” has shown great success locally and internationally. With the little time out of the studio, the band publishes their first material on digital channels of music broadcast in the US, Canada and Europe like thenewreview.net, metalunderground.com and elbo.ws as well as other music medias in Japan.
