Hi Guys, I’m Tarja. Welcome to Metal Shock Finland!

Hi Tarja, Thanks!

You define your genre as “Ancient melodic death metal”, please explain me better how your music is “Ancient”?

Iran, also known as Persia, is one of the biggest ancient empires that ruled the world. Most people do not know there has been a civilization in this land for more than 3000 years. There were great men like Cyrus the Great and Dariush the King who ruled with justice. Iranian people are proud of this history, and so are ARSAMES.This is why we use some stories and myths from that period in our music, in a similar way that Amon Amarth have done for their country, Sweden.

Persian Melodic Death Metal band, ARSAMES has released a new video for “Immortal Identity” song on September 2nd. the song was taken from the band’s debut album with the same name, released in November 2010 with Imortal Records worldwide. The video was directed by Sorena Afkham o Shoara, and was produced by Ali Madarshahi, the band’s front man and vocalist.

“The lyrics of this song were written in honour of Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Persian Achaemenid Empire that he and his historical signature define the national identity for many Iranians. Cyrus the Great respected the customs and religions of the lands he conquered and he was the first one who wrote rules for Human rights! This song is really special to band” The booking agent and promotion manager of Arsames Mohsen Fayyazi said.

ARSAMES will be interviewed by METAL SHOCK FINLAND soon!
