Ignite

"Many bands struggle to make it to the 20 year mark but this is certainly not the case when it comes to New Zealand's premiere rock group Shihad. They have been amping up audiences and producing energized hard-rock albums for the past 22 years and show no signs of calling it a day. Where others have faltered, Shihad has dominated and their induction into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame this year is testament to their enduring influence and undeniable success.

'Ignite' is the eighth album by the solid kiwi four piece. The singles "Sleepeater" and "Lead or Follow" show that Shihad are both the masters of brutal, heavy riffs and melodic lines."
