I really can't believe they've conjured up this album at this point in their career. Most bands fall apart due to personality clashes or they lose the magical chemistry after one decent album. These guys are the real deal. This album sounds like a bunch of hungry, fresh teenagers have just discovered heavy music for the first time, but these guys have been doing this for twenty years. If they keep this up, there's no end in sight. Congratulations Shihad, bloody awesome.
Jaz Coleman probably deserves some credit here. Killing Joke are probably best known as that cult 80's post-punk band with a couple of pop hits, but boy do they sound fucking great in recent years.
Watched Jon's interview on Big Hairy News on Thursday night. Rekindled my enthusiasm for Kiwi music. What a down to earth guy. Pat and Chewie (the gooey one) were very happy to have Jon on their show.
Phil Knight is my uncle: I was standing right behind the camera when they shot the Lead or Follow video. It's weird how we just seems like a regular uncle then BOOM! He's the lead guitarist in a Major rock and roll band famous across the country!!! XD
Fuck I love Jaz Coleman... Incredible in Killing Joke. To be brutally honest, I thought Shihad went through a dip after Love Is The New Hate. But when Jaz got his hands on the entire FVEY recording process ... holy moly. Absolutely killer.
ok ok ok... im very very late to this... man, here i was thinking home again was the last good song shihad put out... ive been sleeping on this album for 9 years apparently... i am awe struck and its awesome.. im going to sit my ass down down and listen to this album, then im going to go and buy the CD.. yes, i only listen to my music on cd or vinyl at home with my valve tube amp . judge me hahaha
Hahahahahaha you’re trying to say they are more corrupt than Key and his goons? The guy who accelerated the housing crisis and is now working for the banks to reap the profits? The same government that conjured up the Saudi sheep deal? The same government that has totally fucked the people of Christchurch with their dodgy handling of the EQC? The same government who opened up our national parks to oil drilling? The same government who had at least two members who got into their position with the help of different government benefits who then took away those benefits from other people? The same government who had 7 consecutive years of budget deficits? The same government underfunded education and health for 9 years? Hahahaha you’re a joke if you think that John Key and his national goons weren’t the most corrupt government we’ve ever had.
They have both done good thing but there is curuption in both it's more or less even and the eqc bs was not really there fault it just was not planned well because nothing of the sort had happen for a very long time
My top kiwi band. Raw riffs, clever songwriting, bouncing bass & drums. Bonza. Sweating talent. Can't believe they haven't gotten more recognition. Still time...
Awesome, my only question is that how come other great NZ bands like The Black Seeds, The Mint Chicks & Darcy Clay can release stuff on iTunes in America & not Shihad?? I'm from Auckland but I've lived in the States for a number of years. I'll be picking up copy of this when I'm "Home Again"
+Miroslav Brkic fuck that, I told the drummer once, at the pub, that it was a shame that they had to change their name to panda to the USA sensibility, (paradox), as I recall he laughed and agreed, no one has their rawness, apparently in America they were told that there were 100 bands doing their "formula" better. Let's see the cunts do real music like this aye?
Jon Toogood explained one of the reasons why in an interview... "We were in America while it invaded Iraq and had to play at festivals that were supposedly 'support the troops festivals' when we didn't believe in the war at all. That's what the song "All the Young Fascists" is about - the day we played Miami in front of 30,000 kids at this festival that was originally just a rock festival. A week out, just because of the timing, it was turned into the support the troops show and it was being simulcast live to Iraq. We were on this bill with these really ugly - what we call WWF - metal bands, and we were shitting ourselves. I just wanted to get out of there. Beside the stage was a paintball gun alley where kids were lining up to shoot effigies of Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden and (French president) Jacques Chirac. That was the weirdest one. The amount of times I actually pointed out to Americans the fact that their Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French and they were supposed to be mates."
When they were touring in the states, they were put in back alleys with "WWE" metal bands. Probably just bro-friendly metalcore bands or something shitty like that. They'll never get any attention if their audience is just a bunch of narrow-minded meatheads. Having Jaz Coleman on board does perfect for them.
Miss the good old days of The annual Valve bar concerts before the Big Day Out....Phil holding up his guitar inches from my face, Karl dancing on the floor in the crowd, Jon rocking so hard on a speaker stack he nearly falls off, Tom deafening everyone in the small room.....good times. Live concert Blu Ray??
I remember when they use to jam on Hansen st WELLINGTON was a surf shop, Trinity Roots which later turned into Fat freddy's drop lived nextdoor to the salvation army, it all happened on Hansen st Wellington NZ. 25 yrs ago,n Jon's koro was best tv personality on TV..Selwyn Toogood.
Chuck Nolan "All the young fascists" is probably my favorite from these guys, check it out! Seen them play live a few times at BDO Auckland, they go hard!
imo churn & killjoy are their best. FVEY is the spiritual successor to killjoy i think and bridges 20 years of averageness. if you can find it, i like flaming soul & gates of steel. also devolve is their thrash metal roots. enjoy :)
This song...saved my sanity when my marriage fell apart because my then wife decided to cheat on me,now I bought a house and have an awesome missus and she's still struggling...karmas a bitch alright GO THE SHIHAD ❤
I believthey've hit a new genre of music with this album. For everything it is musically even the lyric content is educational. Like Kill em all. Looking forward to hear the next album this sound develop.
He produced the album (he produced Churn, their first EP, back in the day); he's 'conducting' them here. It took Jaz to whip the fu$kers back into shape.
Loving this new stuff! Was always a bigger fan of Killjoy and Shihad so love that they seem to have headed back to their heavier, perhaps less commercial roots (and imho) more natural sound. Nice work guys!

@@Metal-Possum is Jaz Coleman that other guy? Producer
@@johncassar2923 Long haired guy probably
@@johncassar2923yes
Lost 20kg listening to this song and others from them. But always starting with this one.
1. Put on Shihad.
2. Get angry.
3. Run till it hurts.

This song is still as important and even more relevant in 2024
Yes Wake Up N.Z
ESPECIALLY OVER HERE IN THE STATES WHERE THEY WANT TO PUT AN ORANGE ASSCLOWN BACK IN CHARGE.

If there was ever a more based and prophetic song I’d like to hear it. Fuckin love this song!

Nice XD Great sounding
What's happened with York Studios?
lucky
Very cool to have an Uncle in a great band. Famous not just across the country but across the world!
Great NZ band love it
deserves a lot more attention
Nope. It gets what it needs.

This song makes more sense today then it did when released
Fuck yea. Agreed. Any one contemplating running a marathon needs this album in their ears. Full Argo.
very RARE for a band to still be together after all these years and bringing out FANTASTIC music
Slayer springs to mind
Jazz Coleman producer Jazz Street Studios, producer of ...some epic bands, including Shihad. Parnell house. Epic recording with these talented Men.
Oh I'm under my Mum's profile.
How sad I'm having to do that? STALKERS HACKERS
I loved Shihad back in the day a LOT. Recently been following them again, and I gotta say they ROCK HARDER THAN EVER.
and they don t give fuck...as they shudnt..
Fuck I love Jaz Coleman... Incredible in Killing Joke. To be brutally honest, I thought Shihad went through a dip after Love Is The New Hate. But when Jaz got his hands on the entire FVEY recording process ... holy moly. Absolutely killer.
This NZ band is so good we claim them as Australian
Haha spot on 😂😂
This guys are a really music industry unjustice. They deserves to be a massives world rockstars.
100% correct, sadly too late now, though their recorded legacy is mighty.
ok ok ok... im very very late to this... man, here i was thinking home again was the last good song shihad put out... ive been sleeping on this album for 9 years apparently... i am awe struck and its awesome.. im going to sit my ass down down and listen to this album, then im going to go and buy the CD.. yes, i only listen to my music on cd or vinyl at home with my valve tube amp . judge me hahaha
ha well you beat me by 8 months, I slept on this one too, having the same response!
Dudes make up a song about (FOUR LETTERS), and people just comment that it's nice they're still together.
Been listening to these legends for 15 years or so now. They deserve much more recognition than this.
27 years for me. They really fell off when they were pacifier but I'm happy they got it back again.
I think this is their most Killing Joke inspired song ;)
I love Shihad so much more now that they are spreading awareness of the current corrupt government we are under.
Fuck no! John Key and his goons were a million times worse than Jacinta and the current government!
Hahahahahaha you’re trying to say they are more corrupt than Key and his goons? The guy who accelerated the housing crisis and is now working for the banks to reap the profits? The same government that conjured up the Saudi sheep deal? The same government that has totally fucked the people of Christchurch with their dodgy handling of the EQC?

Love this hard song.....but best when played as LOUD as possible.
Jesus, where'd the fuck did this come from!??! I've heard 3 tracks thus far and I'm blown away! Fuckin' aye!
Fantastic track. Shihad, NZ's finest!
Devilskin?
Daniel Latham Are you asking me whether Devilskin is NZ's finest over Shihad?
Shihad > Devilskin all day every day!
Love the rock n roll stance.
After one year since I posted a comment.. I'm back to just say... STILL AWESOME!
Great song
Man. This is an real tune
My top kiwi band. Raw riffs, clever songwriting, bouncing bass & drums. Bonza. Sweating talent. Can't believe they haven't gotten more recognition. Still time...
The in NZ , blindspott would be more popular with a American record label
This whole album is fucking great from start to finish. Long live the mighty Shihad.
Also...an anrilockdown anthem ✊
2:14 Born in a tent, Coleman?
awesome song. full of angst, pure rock
My ears are still ringing from a concert they had in Tamworth, NSW about 15 years ago. Still rocking on!!
I love that there is a conductor, every great rock band should have one
Still one of my Favourite Shihad songs. Shihad have never done a bad album, and will always be my most Favourite NZ Band of All Time.
Best song ever
Like thos words. Take control. Yer bro
Such a great song...
Nobel prize for this song
Truly... one of the best rock bands operating in the world today.
ahead of there time, especially with gems like this one
Awesome, my only question is that how come other great NZ bands like The Black Seeds, The Mint Chicks & Darcy Clay can release stuff on iTunes in America & not Shihad?? I'm from Auckland but I've lived in the States for a number of years. I'll be picking up copy of this when I'm "Home Again"

That drum sound is so fucking massive dude. Room sound ftw.
Back after 3 years, still rocking SHIHAD, especially this track. 👊🏼
Seeing a producer keep time with his hand is like watching a child mouth the words as they read.
Jazz Coleman kills it!

Shades of Churn
One of the best. Kia kaha boys, hope to see some gigs out Werribee way!!

I love this band and this song. It has an amazing theme. Kudos to you guys, you're amazing at what you do.

NZ tour please 2021
Can't think of another song that references five eyes.. This is a ripper song
Still blows me away this tune! The transition from 1:20 onwards... so damn good!
This song is amazing. I can't stop listening to it.

Very good track. I think Shihad have finally found their stride

they have always had their stride
What a band ! So underrated. !!
Just f**king AWESOME. Please do another album!
Amazing
Awesome band ! This Song will be back in focus very soon !
Absolutely love this song so please don't misconstrue this comment. Anyone else hearing a strong "Immigrant Song" influence?
Well Tom is without question the true successor to John Bonham, he is more Bonham then even Jason B., but with a modern twist.
This band should be selling out stadiums in NZ not the likes of six60 and lab
new shihad music sure does slay can't wait to see the new songs live!!
WOW!!! these are fuckin' bad ass!!!!
I believthey've hit a new genre of music with this album. For everything it is musically even the lyric content is educational. Like Kill em all.
Looking forward to hear the next album this sound develop.
You must be a true fan. You literally commented 6 years ago and then again a day ago. I honestly respect that.
