Iranian Metal

Iranian Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that originated in Iran in the early 2000s. It is characterized by its use of traditional Iranian instruments, such as the tar and the santur, as well as its incorporation of Middle Eastern melodies and rhythms. Iranian Metal bands often sing in both English and Persian, and the lyrics often focus on themes of Iranian culture, history, and politics. The genre has been growing in popularity in recent years, with bands such as Angband, Arashk, and Confess gaining international recognition.
