The music is metal, thrash/groove, (if it is their music), but again, they do not have any valid physical release.

Eh, sometimes groove metal and numetal sound ambiguous to me. I wouldn't have submitted them because I personally felt they were more on the numetal side but whatever.

Why do these Iranians think that the more people they e-mail about their fake bands, the higher their chances of getting accepted?

They emailed to all users i receive their email too, sound kinda numetal-ish groove metal, faux.

Hey guys, my scrutiny about other iranian's metal genre(s):

Ahoora = id=58526
Ahoora have real physical self-production release and have review for their physical releases:
http://www.metal-observer.com/articles. ... 6&id=10634
http://metal.de/cdreviews.php4?was=review&id=10344
http://www.nightritual.com/reviews/reviews.html
You can buy their last cd from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Ahoora/dp/B001332 ... 449&sr=8-1

Aliaj = id=40382
Aliaj have real physical release
You can buy their last cd from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Scar-Explicit/dp/ ... 747&sr=8-1

Amertad = id=36763
I didn't find any information about Amertad physical release, they had record only one track 'Javidan' in Demo 2002 and also I didn't find any information about Ghothlika Label, I guess Ghothlika Label is not exist.

Arashk = id=101801
Arashk have real physical release
http://cdbaby.com/cd/arashk
http://cdbaby.com/cd/arashk2

Arsames = id=101935
Arsames have not physical release, check this interview with MUEN:
'MUEN: Is the internet and Myspace the only resource you have to get your music out?
ARSAMES: YES, WE REALLY LOVE MYSPACE BECAUSE IT HELPS US TO SHOW THE POWER OF OUR MUSIC TO THE WORLD'
http://www.geocities.com/muenmagazine/i ... sames.html

Explode = id=48432
Explode formed date '1999' are suspicious and I didn't find Explode physical release, they had released their first demo 'Temptation' via internet:
http://www.explode-band.com/ealbum.htm

Kahtmayan = id=11845
Kahtmayan had several real physical release

Point of Death = id=101936
Very very suspicious, I didn't find any info about physical release, also check their logo, Abigor + Dark Funeral = POD, steal logos from other bands

Raga = id=72342
Raga have not any physical release,

I see some bands do hand-printed cdrs with one front cover (in 3 or 4 cdrs) and take a photo to proof those cdrs are physical release, just for have a place in metal-archives but in my opinion they must achievement their music not develop their names in internet! this is the key of evolution

Thanks, it was again very useful.

By the way, doesn't Aliaj sell only mp3's here?
http://www.amazon.com/Scar-Explicit/dp/ ... 747&sr=8-1

Great contribution, Kingofsatan. Keep up the good work!

Yes, they sell it only as mp3s, deleted too.

Yeah, MP3 Songs only, I mistake about this one...

No problem, now the last unchecked are:
Asvaran
Farshid Arabi
Farzad Golpayegani
Midgard (Irn)
Tarantist
Winter Spirit

I dont think the farzad guy has any physical release. Look at what he said on his official site. http://www.farzadonline.com/
Due to problems for release, Here after all tracks of albums "One" (2002), "Two" (2005) and "Three" (2008) of Farzad Golpayegani will be free to download. 4Download records

Midgard is real - http://www.winterreich.com/releases.html - "Dawn Of Martyrdom" is Winterreich's third release.

Note: I modified info on Midgard's page here - also had to fix a typo, but noticed it too late and ended up re-editing additional notes for demo. Also added a link to Winterreich's site.

Winter Spirit is most likely fake, even though they were first submitted to Tartarean Desire and only a month later to MA.

Tarantist as a band is real, they play gigs and write songs, also the website states that the album was out in March, e-mail them in order to purchase - someone should contact them, I guess.

http://www.tartareandesire.com/articles ... metal.html - this article should be quite useful, especially the last paragraph.

Catachthonian and dust666 you found like me:

Asvaran - id=18145
Oh I forget about this band, they said:
Self released in limited cd copies between the band members' friend'
but how many exactly limit? unknown and strange why only between friends?
http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=41811

Farshid Arabi - id=124296
I read Farshid Arabi's official website news, news are old and from this date: 1385(iranian date for two past years) or 2006, news said: the mix and mastering of 'Penhan' album are finished but we did not release it for some problems, maybe we release it in future when we solve our problems...

Farzad Golpayegani - id=34154
yeah dust666, Farzad Golpayegani have problems to release their albums, I read it too; besides, I didn't find any 'Navaye Homayoon' label

Midgard - id=17916
Midgard have a physical release 'WRR003: Midgard - Dawn of Martyrdom MC':
http://www.winterreich.com/releases.html

Tarantist - id=91902
news from Tarantist official site: The debut EP ,Tarantism, was released during Live Death III in Europ, Canada and America, for ordering CD contatc to [email protected]

Winter Spirit - id=34278
I didn't see any physical release from this band and even I didn't hear anywhere about their self-release, assuredly another fake self-release

Good work again, thanks to you, the Iranian part of the archives is completely validated now.

It`s good to finally see an Iranian helping us out, instead of just crying to have his band added to MA.

More than 20 bands have been deleted, wow ! it proves how fake this scene is

Please Remove all iranian band. Thanks for remove 27 bands.

lol

Farzad Golpayegani and Farshid Ayrabi did released some tapes be4.
at that time I was in Iran and I bought those tapes around 2003(i think).

if I take pictures from those tapes and upload them here do u add these bands in Metal-archives again???

Well, as ridiculous as it seems to keep adding and taking these bands off... I suppose if in fact these tapes are real and they are metal, then there is a chance that they can be on the site.

Yes, if they are metal, since not all stuff on Fashid Arabi page was metal.

Only the new songs from an album, which apparently never came out.

Older songs listed there were pop/rock.

these are tapes Penhan from Farshid Ayrabi in left and 1 from Farzad Holpayegani in right.


This is Album 1 from Farzad Golpayegani......




here u can listen to Farzad Golpayengani
http://www.myspace.com/farzadgolpayegani

here are Farshid Ayrabi's

Yes, you can resubmit them, this could be hardly faked.

I say that Farzad Golpayengani is metal, from those songs on the myspace page. It becomes somewhat borderline in a few instances but over all they are metal. But the question remains is that if the tapes that you own are metal by a majority. Sometimes bands might have a metal track or two on an album and the rest can be something entirely different, and that is not acceptable.

Farzad Golpayegani is Metal, U can download samples from album 1 and 2 here http://www.farzadonline.com/music.html

Well I know that the samples on the myspace are at least mostly metal, but the reason I state my concern is because those songs are such experimental in nature that it isn't very improbable that other songs stray from being metal entirely. I will listen to the rest on that website.

Maintain a civil tone and cut out the petulent whining, or anything and everything your strive to achieve with your posts will never happen, Godware.

Yeah Tariki_ir, Farzad Holpayegani & Farshid Ayrabi have physical release, but in their official website news they said have some problems to release their albums:
http://www.farzadonline.com/
Due to problems for release, Here after all tracks of albums "One" (2002), "Two" (2005) and "Three" (2008) of Farzad Golpayegani will be free to download. 4Download records

Anyway, if you know more about other real iranian metal bands and you can proof their official physical releases, please submit them on archives, thank you

As I said before, I am black metaller and I know most of black metal projects from Iran, yesterday I see the topic from Hamid(Emerna), and I want you know him(Hamid) more:

I know this guy 'Hamid'(Avinar, Emerna or...), he is very testy and nervous (hoity toity), in my opinion he have psycho-disease '' or something like that, but I don't care about his personality, lets go to check his musical history:

after 10 years, 35 albums, with no release!

why labels did not release his projects? very simple the labels are distrust about his projects like Avinar, Shab and...
Because he (Hamid) makes his albums with guitar electric simulator softwares...
Because he steal music from other bands... ( Guitar samples are taken from Gorgoroth's Incipit Satan)
Because he steal lyrics from other bands... (some words are for Dark Funeral's lyrics)
Because he steal coverarts from other bands... (cover art taken from Cradle Of Filth arts)
Because he steal riffs...
Because he steal...
And more than more becauses...

now check his Avinar music 'Dark Arts':
'The End of Ma.Bey.Ma' - He make his albums with softwares like 'Melody Assistant' :
http://rapidshare.com/files/137184549/A ... a.mp3.html

check his Shab music 'Dark Arts':
'Of Godless Faith' - listen exactly to guitars sound, again software made :
http://rapidshare.com/files/137182557/S ... h.mp3.html

even he makes photos with softwares like 'Photoshop', check this one from Shab project:

Now you can judge him(Hamid) by truth!

Thanks for the help. It is hard for us to find any great source of information concerning Iranian bands, so your contributions are valuable to the site.

It is acceptable, there are only two acoustic songs on the album.
Submit him.

One metal release is enough, a band does not an all metal discography.

Ambient is not a metal genre and never was, it has roots in early electronic experiments by Brian Eno. Absolutely unrelated to metal.

Nazhand will stay out, because it is shitty ambient without physical releases.

Learn something about real metal genres, before you post here.

You will be banned soon for being a childish, insultive moron.

There are three options for you:

1. Go whine on your mom's shoulder.

2. Read the rules before posting next time.

3. Leave the hall.

Users should submit only bands that are metal and have physical releases.

We validate all bands, not only from Iran.
Ambient bands can be only listed here as a side projects, otherwise they do not belong.

We do not need your keyboard ambient bands or bands without releases.

To let you breathe like a free nation- somebody forces you to submit your demoless and ambient shit here?


Our impression about Iranian users comes only from observation of the constant trolling, non-metal submissions and blatant disrespect for our written rules. There are honourable exceptions, like the user who helped us, but mst of you are the same childish whiners/psychopaths like you and Emerna.

It is up to more reasonable Iranian users to change that impression.It is morons like you who make them feel ashamed.

Iranians seem to highly paranoid about being persecuted. Bands from anywhere else in the world are subjected to the same rules (something the last poster obviously doesn't realize) as the Iranian one's and yet no other nation has as many whiners and rule-breakers as you. Shameful.

Yeah, sure, we all can read Arabic letters.

Calm down, Farzad and Farshid have been resubmitted. If you have any proofs of physical releases of other Iranian bands, just post them here and don't make a drama out of it. That's the best you can do.

Godware, your posts will continue to be removed until you comply with what I have told you. Your tone is 100% uncorrect in your posts. Until you stop whining and making disrespectful and false claims towards the site and the people who run it, you will not be heard.

True blackness is underground and Nazhand has no label or the same bullshit
(& hence it was deleted from M.A)!

New demo called
'Fear For The Day That You Have Nothing To Fear For'
has been released in 14 September 2008

Download this amazing album here in Official weblog for Nazhand, one man band

http://www.nazhand.blogfa.com/

It was also deleted, because it was not metal. Besides, how on Earth do you think that to abuse a serious database related thread (or to ressurect an old thread) for promo bullshit is welcome here or even allowed?

Forum mods, please act.
