SHĀHANSHĀH - ZEMESTAN-E AVAL-E SHEKAR LP NWOBHM The album sowed its seedsThis release compiles the first two recordings (Kaman va Anar + Faryad: Barpakhiz! Rastakhiz!) from this young Iranian American project. Both demos present black metal steeped in Persian mysticism, blending galloping desert rhythms with swirling, hypnotic arabesque melodies.
