Zahed by Ahmad Chegeni

This is an indie progressive Persian rock album all produced and recorded by myself. My approach for this album was blending the persian melodies and rhythms with western modern rock. I was inspired by some bands like Tool, SOAD and etc. For the lyrics, I used different classic Persian lyric poets, such as Hafez, Khayam, khajoo Kermani and some contemporary lyric poets like: Hamid Mosadegh, Akhavan and Moshiri. Combinig Persian Lyric with this Genre of music which happened for the first time in Persian-Rock music, was so difficult, torturing and frustrating, but I hope I did it right. Hope you enjoy listening too.
