Shihad: hear it live and loud!

Thu 13th Dec, 2007 in Local News

There’s been a distant thunder, a growing storm, whispers and hearsay, secret comings and goings, and rumour aplenty. But yes all can now be confirmed. Kiwi expats Shihad are releasing a brand new album in 2008 – Beautiful Machine.

To showcase their new material, the boys are taking their breathtaking live show and impressive new repertoire on the road for six loud, hot, sweaty weeks during February and March 2008. Shihad’s One Will Hear The Tour will take in capital cities and regional area’s along the East Coast.

Beautiful Machine is Shihad’s seventh studio album. No mean feat in itself and one that surely cements this band of as one of New Zealand’s prominent rock acts. The album is due for release on Warner music in April 2008, but fans can get a sneak peak at the new material with the lead single ‘One Will Hear The Other’ hitting airwaves in January 2008 and when Shihad hit the following venues on their first headlining tour since 2005!
