Biography

Wellington, New Zealand (1988 – 2002, 2004 – present)

Shihad are a four-piece band from New Zealand, comprising Jon Toogood (guitar/vocals), Tom Larkin (drums), Karl Kippenberger (bass) and Phil Knight (guitar). Their style is best described as “hard rock”, although they were described as “metal” in their formative years.

Shihad were formed in 1988 in Wellington, New Zealand. They were briefly known between 2002-2004 as “Pacifier”. During this time the band was attempting to break into the US market and it was decided that Shihad sounded too much like the arabic word ‘jihad’, thus the name change. Their major albums and EPs include:
