compact disc and 12-inch vinyl through Conquer the World Records on May 15, 1996. The band then embarked on a two-week tour in promotion of its first two releases, playing shows up the East Coast and Midwest of the United States and into Canada. Upon returning home, Moyal was kicked out of the band due to recurring conflicts with Wylie. Morning Again gained international popularity and became the first American band signed to Belgian record label Good Life Recordings in late 1996. Good Life Recordings promptly released the compilation Hand of Hope on compact disc and 12-inch vinyl in January 1997, which included all of the band's recorded material with Moyal on vocals. The same songs were later reissued on the compact disc compilation Hand of the Martyr, co-released by Eulogy Recordings and Alveran Records on April 30, 2002, to coincide with a Morning Again reunion show. Moyal's songs were repackaged again on the 12-inch vinyl compilation I, released by Germany's Demons Run Amok Entertainment on September 25, 2015. Moyal has sporadically performed reunion shows with Morning Again In December 1999, he joined the band to perform two secret shows under the names Hand of Hope and Cleanest War; the first at Club Q in Davie, Florida, the second at Gainesvillefest in Gainesville, Florida. On June 15, 2002, Morning Again performed another reunion show with Moyal under the name Hand of Hope at the Orlando Magicfest in Orlando, Florida. Moyal last performed with Morning Again at Ieperfest in Ypres, Belgium on August 9, 2014. Fork in the Road and Bird of Ill Omen (1996–1997) Two months after being dismissed from Morning Again, Moyal formed North Miami, Florida-based sludge metal/metalcore band Fork in the Road, which quickly changed name to Bird of Ill Omen. The band also included guitarists Joseph Simmons (who would later play in Morning Again, Culture and As Friends Rust) and José Martinez (later of Poison the Well), bass guitarist Thomas Rankine (who would later play in As Friends Rust and Further Seems Forever) and drummer George Rios (formerly of doom metal band Floor). Martinez, Rankine and Rios had previously played in the emo band Crestfallen earlier that year. While writing a full-length album's worth of material during most of late 1996 and early 1997, Bird of Ill Omen played local shows with Shai Hulud, Morning Again, Discount, Strongarm, Vision of Disorder, Earth Crisis, Zao and Cavity.
