[@robkaay]

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.

[@Metal-Possum]

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.

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.

27 years for me. They really fell off when they were pacifier but I'm happy they got it back again.

[@soloist7353]

My ears are still ringing from a concert they had in Tamworth, NSW about 15 years ago. Still rocking on!!

[@imeqsmd]

This whole album is fucking great from start to finish. Long live the mighty Shihad.

[@spazzzzzjaz]

I love Shihad so much more now that they are spreading awareness of the current corrupt government we are under.

[@TheWolfandreptile]

Fuck no! John Key and his goons were a million times worse than Jacinta and the current government!

[@TheWolfandreptile]

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.

[@AlexWithington]

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

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!

[@Luke18_13]

Jonny Jonsta that's tight, I'll check it out man. Thanks for taking the time to share with me mate. Cheers!

[@cycochris07]

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 :)

[@squakke]

This song is amazing. I can't stop listening to it.

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.

[@stelley08]

the message is bigger than the song in this track, fuck the system

[@jmannz1]

Yeah looks like they've really taken the red pill big time on this one, judging by their lyrics. Nice

[@McMacamack]

henry crun Isn't red pill a reference to The Matrix

[@namik-studios]

Actually Shihad are very left wing. Listen to the lyrics in their music and a lot of it is anti the right wing establishment. They were particularly against the war in Iraq, which of course was a war carried out by right wing extremists lead by Bush. Here's Jon Toogood explaining it... "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."

[@namik-studios]

The red pill/blue pill is indeed a reference to the Matrix. Neo is offered two pills by Morpheus... "You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

[@SyndicateOperative]

As far as I can tell, Shihad isn't pro left or right, or any other ridiculous generalised political ideology. They're just sticking to being honest about how certain actions/attitudes/systems affect people. Some people like to ignore those effects and live on, others would rather not be affected at all (it's not like we can't manage ourselves, after all. We don't need some "guiding hand").

[@hockey27100]

samuraibride pick me up a copy

[@MiroslavBrkic]

+samuraibride I believe it's because of the name... Shihad

[@AghoraNath]

+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?

[@namik-studios]

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.

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."

[@Metal-Possum]

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.
