Description/Reviews: 

The Sydney trio Hashshashin blend meditative eastern sounds with drone, prog and psychedelia.

nihsahshsaH is inspired by the mystics of past and present, who fled their homes and walked out into the desert in search of something to soothe the roar of their broken minds.

The sounds bring to mind scorched desert sands, the sweet scent of hashish, and the infinite blue of the sheltering sky.
