From The Vastland is a black metal project that dives deep into the realms of ancient Persian mythology and history, making a distinct mark in the black metal scene with its unique thematic focus and sonic aggression. Originally founded in Iran by Sina in 2010, the project's music blends the ferocity and bleakness of black metal with lyrical narratives inspired by Zoroastrianism and the pre-Islamic era of Persia, providing listeners not only with an auditory experience but also a journey through the rich tapestry of Persian cultural heritage.
The discography of From The Vastland is a testament to Sina's dedication to his craft and his heritage. Albums like "Kamarikan" (2013) marked the beginning of this epic journey, setting the stage with tales of ancient gods and warriors. With subsequent releases, including "Temple of Daevas" (2014), "Chamrosh" (2016), "Daevayasna" (2018), "The Haft Khan" (2020), and the latest offerings "Mar-Tiya-Khvara" and "Taurvi," From The Vastland has continued to explore and expand upon its lyrical and musical themes. The project’s evolution showcases a relentless pursuit of a profound narrative, blending the raw energy of black metal with intricate stories from a land steeped in mysticism and ancient lore. Through his work, Sina has not only carved a niche for From The Vastland within the crowded black metal genre but has also brought the rich, albeit often overlooked, mythology of Persia to the forefront, captivating audiences worldwide with its compelling blend of history and music.
