   About Jihad
Jihad is Rich and James Mendez. They provide us with a new inviting dark, gothic, industrial sound, in some ways, similar to the project known as Benestrophe.

Benestrophe is the group involving Dwayne & Gary Dassing, along with Rich Mendez. Dwayne & Gary Dassing are the two brothers who bring us the revolutionary sound of Mentallo & the Fixer.

James Mendez composes and produces the tracks for Jihad. He was influenced with the electronics & seeing all the work done with the Dassing brothers & his brother's Benestrophe project since it began around 1987-1988. Rich Mendez does lyrics and vocals on Benestophe and Jihad.

James and Rich get into electronic music, as well as accoustic related material at times. Skinny Puppy and all related side projects excite the Mendez brothers very much.

Recently Jihad became known for their song titled, "Hands That Hide", featured on the quadruple CD collection from RAS DVA called, "There Is No Time".
