Bio:
Angband formed in 2004 in Tehran by Mahyar Dean a classically trained musician and author who is well known in metal world for writing two books about Death and Testament bands, specifically for his Death book in 2000 when Chuck Schuldiner (RIP) was still among us, “…the work and devotion you (Mahyar) have put toward this book is a true testament of your belief in the music as I am a fan of heavy metal as well.” Chuck wrote to Mahyar in a letter.   Angband was a Progressive Metal/ Instrumental project first but when Mahyar met a talented tenor singer Ashkan Yazdani they decided to become a Power Metal/ Progressive band with killer vocals! Then Ramin Rahimi joined the band. he is an outstanding drummer and percussions master. Ramin is also a solo artist releasing his Iranian percussions based music through ARC music. Angband recorded their debut album "Rising from Apadana" in July 2007 and then signed a deal with Pure Steel Records of Germany. many sources claim they are the first Metal band from Iran to sign a deal with an European record company. "Rising from Apadana" released in August 29 2008 and had lots of positive feedbacks. After recording the debut album, Bass player M. Halaji joined the band. Angband worked hard on their sophomore album and began recording in July 2008 with some guitar lines, A few months later Ashkan came to Tehran and the recording process finished in December. Angband chose "Visions of the Seeker" as the title of their 2nd studio album. like the previous album the lyrics are about the facts of life and human mind. the concept of the album is a young man seeking his mental identity while facing many obstacles on his way. The Album originally was set to release in Autumn of 2009 but because of a production problem it pushed back to 2010. then the band collaborated with veteran sound engineer Achim Kohler  (Primal Fear , Amon Amarth , Edguy) the mixing and mastering process finished in August 2010.
