The Persian Gulf is a name that is more than 2000 years old and it does not merely refer to a vast body of water, but also intends to remind the ignorant of a history that they are fighting so hard to erase but it shall not just vanish from the memory of man for it is guarded by the spirits of the brave and the fallen who stood against the belligerent tyrants and their flesh devouring beasts.

Broken Pillars are here to tell the tales of those warriors who defended the sovereignty of souls to their last breaths and the Persian Gulf passionately embraced their ghosts after their falling and immortalised them amongst its azure waves, lest we forget.

Behold Warpunk Propaganda, an album that was created by Aneraxt during the 12-day Israel-Iran war. It is a soundtrack to war, propaganda, PTSD, and chaos unleashed in the Middle East.

This is Aneraxt, the ultimate Persian warpunk machine

After almost half a decade since his last endeavour, Forestionist has returned from his wondrous voyages through the parallel universes to tell us a story.

The tale is of a distant world where spring never fades, the trees are evergreen, and the fields of emmer are the eternal golden meads that the breeze of the ever-young sky caresses.
He listened to the songs of that world’s shield maiden, the lady of unbeknownst emerald; to the tall sentinels of the purest wood; and to the crow, the key to other realms and the anchor to his broken world…

“A Dream of an Everlasting Springtide” is the return of the optimistic pessimist and a rebirth of sounds.
What started as a shoegaze-inspired black metal project is now slowly shifting towards more ambient and cosmic sounds.

De Maledictione Vitae et Cycli Vitiosi Aeterni Cruciatus is a testament to the vanity of life that we so cherish and its torturous monotony that bears with itself only apathy and the ultimate state of isolation.
Désespéré has always been our haven for expressing the tumults within and all the misery and austerity that befalls us each and every day, and this album is the purest exhibition of those dark corners of our souls.
This is not music you will hear; rather, it is the frequency of our torment.

-IMPORTANT NOTE-
The album is set as “Name Your Price”, for we do not wish to monetize our raw emotional expressions. However, ANY INCOME from this release will be GIVEN to people struggling with mental health issues. We hope that with this humblest gesture, as little as it may be, we can ease the suffering of those going through the most infernal times of their lives.

O, Wanderer! Hast thou heard of the tale of the yet most forlorn
On whose woeful waves the lustrous beloved drifted forevermore?
Come and sit with us, sip the sweet tears of the alderliefest jewel
For ’tis the lake’s last lament for the lotus and then shall be no more.

---

‘Lotus and the Lake’s Lament is the doleful tale of a forlorn lake who had loved the precious tiny lotus who alone drifted in her dreams on his murky waves. Yet she could not comprehend the love, for it was outside her world and of alien language. And so this tale of sorrow and longing went on torturously and endlessly until it was forgotten in the veil of time.

Lotus and the Lake’s Lament is the epilogue to a tragic chapter.’

Wanderers,

We are honoured to introduce our latest member and her eponymous project, Mehrshid. She is a digital illustrator, fantasy enthusiast and above all, a dreamer. She has always been creating new mythical landscapes around her and through her digital artistry; only to give them a voice in her latest endeavours. This musical project is a collaboration between her and Harpag Karnik, and a journey through the unknown dreamlands.

“Eidolon” is Mehrshid’s debut EP. In this two-track collection, the origins of Allaerea, the Twilight Queen of the Sun and Moon, are told through ancient hymns of the ones before.

This will serve as the backbone and the beginning of an original epic fantasy story, which will gradually be revealed during the project’s next instalments.

Welcome to the mythic world of Mehrshid and the folkloric ambience of its sounds.

Wayfarers!

Behold, for Astwihad has risen from the worlds beneath!

Hold the second Gatha in awe that it induces, for this is the book that whispers to your soul the ways of summoning the Daevan majesty who heralds the coming of Frashokereti, the apocalypse that is not of light as the ancients believed, but of the darkness imperishable, where the shadows eternally haunt our dreams.

Hear the words of the second Gatha and watch as the Bronze gates to the realm of death ominously open.

Asto-Vidatu!
Asto-Vidatu!
Asto-Vidatu!
Asto Vaetha!
Asto-Vidatu!
Asto-Vidatu!
Asto-Vidatu!
Asto Aesho!

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez!

Behold the coming of the primæval force of nihil, the dæva of nought and null, TΛVRVI of Dauzaxva! Hear the rumbling of all existence as s/he ariseth from the deepest depths to conquer the garden of Paridæza and satiate the never-ending hunger that devoureth until none is all and all is none.

TΛVRVI’s re-debut album ΛBS​Ω​LVTΣ initiates a new chapter in the book of Ardawahisht, taking experimentation to a whole new level by merging the familiar sound of black metal with uncanny approaches towards electronic music, from the velocity of drum and bass and breakcore to the harshness of industrial techno and even the likes of hardstyle.
ΛBS​Ω​LVTΣ is a concept album; one that depicts the birth of a foul entity at the lowest core of existence towards its transcendence to the all-consuming point of singularity.
Proceed at your own risk, for the journey is perilous and the danger obscure.

The illustration was done by the amazing artist Mehrshid.

The latest EP by the tragic entity, Forelunar, contains two interpretations of the song HWAA by the South Korean girl group (G)I-dle. The song itself is about heartbreak and the subsequent healing and moving on. But with its unique scenery and artistic approach, it can become subject to deeper emotional awakening and that is why I came up with two cover versions of the same song. The first song (火/Fire) is the raging growl inside you when sadness and heartbreak conquer your heart; the second one (花/Flower) is the prevailing anthem of coming to terms and moving on.

As Harpag himself puts it out: “I poured my own emotions into the already touching sound of the original song. It is of course imperfect, but I mean to express my deepest respect to the group and above all, its leader, Soyeon, for she has been a source of inspiration to me and can be an exemplary artist to the younger audience: A woman of talent, hard work and self-confidence.”

May this little journey appeal to your ears, wandering listener.

The earthbound herald of spring has blown his trumpet once again. The time of nature’s rebirth has come. Still, the mystery is ever unravelling. The spring has brought yet another gift of the gods: The amethyst that has grown on the frozen branches of the winter lord’s forsaken body.
Her eyes are spells and her beauty enchants. The violet heart is she, who has penetrated the gateless citadel of his majesty’s soul.

Behold the dream! Behold the Amethyst!
