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....

!!! Start Code To Apply Top Banner !!!! Custom top banner code by Eileen !!! End Code To Apply Top Banner !!! !




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.

Zebulon Kosted





Jun 29 2009 2:36 AM

I am now recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment) for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him (Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection, and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of purchase!!!
