about

“Hashshashin’s debut album is a journey that will make you travel through deserts and oases, mountain ranges and death valleys with a Middle-Eastern aura of mysticism only enhancing the experience.”

- Heavy Blog Is Heavy

“(Hashshashin’s) music is powerful and muscular and ranges from full on psychedelic rock-outs to fully hypnotising drone."

"Often ragged and cathartic, this is, in its own way, soul music, music that taps into a primal, tribal, part of our consciousness that we, in our too comfortable Western civilisation, rarely draw from.”

- Echoes And Dust

The Sydney trio Hashshashin blend meditative eastern sounds with drone, prog and psychedelia.

nihsahshsaH is inspired by the mystics of past and present, who fled their homes and walked out into the desert in search of something to soothe the roar of their broken minds.

The sounds bring to mind scorched desert sands, the sweet scent of hashish, and the infinite blue of the sheltering sky. 

For fans of Masada, Secret Chiefs 3, Zu, Ssahha, Naadistan and who knows what else.
