Homage to Fearless Iranians from Hell!
There’s always an idiot on the internet. But this time, they were kinda right–KINDA. A lot of people have been commenting on Taqwacore videos around the internet, saying that we aren’t the first to do this. Although Taqwacore as a whole was not influenced by these guys, Kourosh from Vote Hezbollah was definitely rocking these guys when he created his band, as was I. Now, you should rock this shit too (if you aren’t already)….
From their first record (with Iranian singer), “Foolish Americans”
From the 1987 record, “Die for Allah”
Recognize the picture? Some of you may have shirts of this album cover. Kourosh was wearing a backpatch of it in one of the earlier news articles:
In short, the created the terrorist schtick. They exploited people’s fear of Iranians after the ’79 Revolution and the devastating Iran-Iraq war and made joke about it.
Enjoy.
What a sarcastic band I say !
FIFH fuckin rock! Definately a huge inluence on my music. And while they’ve been defunct since the late 80′s, I kinda think if they were around now some would call them Taqwacore, Allahu alim whether they would accept and embrace the term though.
The only music of theirs that’s been released w/ the original and Iranian vocalist is the “Burn The Books” track on the Texas Punk compilation Metal Moo Cow (1984). All subsequent recordings have the 2nd vocalist.
Praise Allah
