Iranian Metal

Iranian metal is a unique and vibrant subgenre of heavy metal that reflects both the global influences of metal music and the specific cultural, historical, and emotional landscapes of Iran. This genre encompasses a wide range of metal subgenres, including death metal, black metal, progressive metal, and more, showcasing the diversity and creativity of Iranian musicians. Artists within this scene often incorporate traditional Persian instruments and themes into their music, blending ancient melodies with the heavy, aggressive soundscapes characteristic of metal. Lyrics frequently explore themes of mythology, history, societal critique, and personal struggle, mirroring the complexities and challenges faced within Iranian society. Despite facing various forms of censorship and repression within Iran, bands such as Eternal Candle, Out of Nowhere, and Arsames persevere, crafting music that is both a form of resistance and a profound expression of cultural identity.
