Rock'n'roll can get you into some hairy situations over 20 years. Most bands don’t make it half that far. They're silenced by the toll of the road, the vagaries of fashion, personal differences, lost ideals or an empty tank of inspiration.

Then there's Shihad. What doesn't kill them only amps them up, makes them louder, clearer, more united and determined to write THE song that will make the world raise its arms and roar in a single note of perfect harmony.
