No, seriously though.... I guess you could say it's a combination of Rachid Taha + Assuck + Muslimgauze, with some Doom or some shit thrown in for good measure. I may end up altering this description, as I don't really give a shit about pleasing anyone's tastes but my own, and the music may change accordingly....

We're a doom-crust punk band from Chicago, and one of the original Taqwacore bands from the Taqwatour in the fall of 2007. Our sound is not your run-of-the-mill hardcore sound, as we mix elements of traditional Middle Eastern music instrumentation; heavy, sludgy, crust punk; and experimental music influences. Our music incorporates rhythmical, theoretical, ideological, and structural hybrids of these various types of music...to create something new. We're glad to meet you.

we're definitely interested in releasing split records, collaboration, and other stuff. Don't hesitate to contact us for any reason!!!

We can be reached by e-mail anytime at: althawrapunk@gmail.com.

My
new 3 album box set ODESSA delves into the disgusting involvement the
United States government had in hiding Nazi war criminals that were
deemed, "intelligence assets", to be used against the Russians. ODESSA
also examines the enthusiastic role the Franciscan Order, Argentinian
and Chilean Governments, and Arab leaders who hated the Jews played in
hiding and finding new homes for former fascists. It seems many nations
had a reason to keep these monsters from being captured, and this is my
attempt to expose the establishment of a Fourth Reich in South America
that still exists to this day. Send $13 cash/check/money order to -
