Wanderers and friends of Ardawahisht,

Our Harpag Karnik sat with Ethere Magazine, a journal dedicated solely to the funeral doom genre, and gave an in-depth interview about this very entity that is Urnscent and Ardawahisht Kollective in their very first issue, alongside established names of the genre such as Skepticism, Shape of Despair etc.

You can get your copy through the official website of the publisher, Season of Mist USA and other distributors which you can find on the magazine’s official FB page.

Thank you for your attention and Ethere for their interest in our work.

We will see you soon.

Behold, wanderers!

Désespéré, the gloomier incarnation of the duo Urnscent, has unveiled its latest abomination of sonic torture, “Furor Ab Intus, Caeleste Stragem Desuper”.

It is the final chapter in the first book of Pain and Suffering and will be the progenitor to the second book of Désespéré, which shall come in the darker days ahead.

BEWARE!

Proceed with caution. This album is the culmination of previous albums, meaning that what you will hear on this abomination of sonic torture, is the heaviest and most crushing of all Désespéré albums. If you cannot bear the monotonous extremity of our suffering, do not grasp the whole work at once.

The album is available on Bandcamp and Ardawahisht’s official YouTube channel.

Dear readers and followers,

As each day passes, streaming platforms bend more towards the interests of the dominant powers in the music industry, which is the sole way of surviving the industry’s constantly changing and growing nature. In this process, smaller and underground acts like us would suffer more than the more prominent names, both statistically and economically.
Since music is the main source of living and communication for the members of Ardawahisht, we were naturally forced to reconsider the approach we utilized in releasing music.

We have decided that from now on, our main emphasis will be on our projects’ Bandcamp pages and the collective’s YouTube channel, meaning that every future release will be initially available on these two platforms and they will be available on streaming services a few days later than the original release date.

Thus, we kindly ask you to follow the Bandcamp pages of our projects and more importantly, subscribe to our YouTube channel. You can check all related links through the referencing page below.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Broken pillars are the eternal graves of deities from ancient times, gods and goddesses who once benevolently ruled the Persian lands and cherished their children with holy light and pure thoughts.

These sounds pray to the elders of forgotten myths who perished in the endless conquests of outlandish demons.
May they awake again to the scent of a new age…

Behold “Operation Utopia CCCXIII”, the manifestation of oppression and anarchy in two cycles of the Oppressor and the Oppressed, loaded and unleashed by Aneraxt, the ultimate Persian war metal machine!

This is a sonically weaponized adventure into the dark heart of modern Persia and what it has become under the reign of tyrants.
Proceed with caution!

“No holding back, no compromise
This is pure fucking Persian war metal attack!”

The eponymous debut album of Ardwisur, the one-woman epic/ambient black metal project from the depths of the oceans, and one-half of the cosmic black metal duo Enscelados, is now available on Bandcamp.

Ardwisur Anahita is the ethereal whispers of the water, the journeying waves of the seas, and the song that the oceans sing. Ardwisur Anahita is the chalice of serenity in the furthest nightmares of the cosmos.

This book of two Psalms is dedicated to her, the woman of purest thoughts.
All hail the mother of astral waters, the queen of healing lakes!

Astwihad celebrates the shadows of Avesta, where the darkest and most dreadful daevas crawl and endlessly whisper their blasphemous odes to whom the plague sun has shone upon.

This is the first Gatha, the forbidden book which is the key that opens the gate to the realm of death.

Behold “Face of Annihilation”, the newest EP of Aneraxt, the solo project of our long-time collaborator Nihil Satan, which was shortly active as Xvarmart back in 2018 and then went into an indefinite hiatus.

Yet, with the happening of the unfortunate horrors inside Iran in 2022, Nihil Satan reignited his fierce and hateful musical scenery into what became Aneraxt.

“Face of Annihilation” is the picture of Iran in reality. It is filled with hatred, oppression, violence, torture and death.

No filters, no exaggeration, this is Aneraxt, the ultimate Persian war metal machine!

Aneraxt means “Redeemed” in Pahlavi language.

Menakeret is the embodiment of infatuation, the manifestation of a sweet dream long forgotten. It is the dim light of the fallen entity’s path to redemption, the sudden gleam of hope in this austere landscape of his neverending winter.

Menakeret is the silhouette of she who would be the beloved of this epoch, who sits in her solitude, singing lullabies to her sorrows of ages past.

---

Menakeret was meant to be the second chapter of Erancnoir‘s self-titled album, released in 2018; yet, the emotions at work and the sanguine heart always betray the visions of the creator, this time, the frozen entity of winter.

It will be a one-off project and its eponymous journey is a celebration of youth, romance, tragedy and the cruelty of this world we live in.

Take it for what it is, which is from the heart.

Amongst the stars, faint echoes of torment are heard…

Amongst the stars, a tragedy was written…

A tragedy of aeons long gone…

“Tragedy of Cepheis” is Enscelados’ debut album, which remained in dormancy for nearly five years.

It is a relief for us to finally share it with the world and those lost wanderers who might find us in this digital universe.

Listen carefully, for the lady of the furthest nebulae has the most tragic tale of the cosmos to tell.
