AVAZEBOZ - Shīr-o Shamshīr TAPE

Avazeboz represents a crucial manifestation of exile black metal, utilizing the genre's inherent hostility to weaponize Iranian history. The title directly evokes the historic emblem of Iran, resurrecting the martial pride and epic mythos of ancient Iranic peoples. By performing entirely in Persian, the project transforms black metal into an act of profound cultural resistance against historical erasure and forced religious paradigms.

Avazeboz weaves the specific regional melodies of the Iranian plateau directly into the DNA of their guitar work, rather than relying on superficial folk instruments. This synthesis creates an authentic regional sound where the music's harshness mirrors the unforgiving landscapes of the Zagros and Alborz mountains.
