News: Iranian Black Metal Act AKVAN To Release Latest EP Worldwide On Vinyl!

Akvan, the one man Black Metal act from Iran, has announced the worldwide release of his latest, 2020- EP, titled „Two Centuries of Silence / دو قرن سکوت „.

Since metal and Western music are technically banned, one of the least likely places for black metal to appear would probably be the Middle East. Akvan, who mixes raw black metal guitars and blasting drums with traditional Persian instruments like the tar and setar, has released nine EPs since 2015, deeply considered meditations on his own culture and how it is misinterpreted – not only by outsiders, but by his own country’s leadership.

Set for release on March 19th via Subsound Records, „Two Centuries of Silence / دو قرن سکوت “ will be available worldwide and for the first time in strictly limited red vinyl (100 copies) and black vinyl editions (200 copies).

„Two Centuries of Silence / دو قرن سکوت “ will be coming out March 19th on Subsound Records and is available for pre-order here:
