About this episode
My interview with 'Khalas' guitarist Abed Hathout, conducted on May 8, 2014 at Stanford University. Includes music and interview.
'Khalas' is a Palestinian band that inoculates sensual Arabic beats and lyrics with aggressive metal riffs. The band members are influenced by AC/DC, System of a down, Black Sabbath, etc… and use their unique sounds to revive and adapt Arabic classics by such legends as Muhammad Abdelwahab, Farid El Atrache, Om Kolthum and Asmahan.
