FEARLESS IRANIANS FROM HELL - DIE FOR ALLAH

The classic Fearless Iranians from Hell Die for Allah LP is now back in print after a 25 year hiatus. Remastered and repressed on nuclear green vinyl, this hardcore punk arsenal also includes all tracks from their literally explosive Blow up the Embassy 7" debut. FIFH was a mysterious Texan monstrosity formed in 1983 by Iranian expat (and modern day hashashin) Amir Mamori, who gathered to his side various mutants and apocalyptic freaks from the San Antonio punk rock blast zone, even throwing in two Butthole Surfers rejects for good measure (including none other than the notorious Anus Presley himself). The subsequent recording sessions were a chaotic affair, as guitars were rarely in tune and the drums were seemingly scavenged from the trash. It was all directed by Amir who, with fanatical focus, would inspire the band on to victory from behind a stupifying cloud of hash smoke. The resulting releases were widely praised; from places like Maximum Rock n Roll and the Village Voice in the US, to Sounds and New Musical Express in the UK. They were even cited as forerunners of the musical genre known as Taqwacore. After touring the US in the late '80s-and leaving in their wake crowd turbulence, police intimidation, and even bounties being place on the heads of the members-the band disbanded in 1989 upon the death of the Ayatollah Khomeini (may Allah have mercy on him).
