    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Own one of the 5 test presses produced by dunk!pressing for the anniversary edition of nihsahshsaH.

    We are happy to sign these upon request, but please note that as our bassist has moved out of Sydney, and that our state is still subject to intense lockdowns, - including the ongoing 12+ week lockdown that limits our movement to 5km of our home at the time of writing - it may take us a few months to fulfill this.

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.
