The debut album from this band from Iran.
The band was a quartet with a line-up of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.
This is the debut album from this band who later released three more albums. The last one earlier this year. This year's album was released fifteen years after they broke up. A review will follow next week.
Ahoora is clocking in at fifty-five minutes.
The music here is progressive thrash metal.
Rock music, let alone metal, was and still is forbidden in Iran. Ahoora existed in spite of the religious regime in Iran. A regime that both jailed and murdered those who did not follow their adherence to a strict religious life. The local rock artists and bands did not get access to any good recording studios. Due to the threat of jail or a worse fate than that... Ahoora did not even try to get studio time when recording this album.
The sound quality on this home-recorded album is therefore pretty poor.
The instruments and vocals are pretty good on this album. Watchtower is a pretty good reference. Ahoora's music is slightly more progressive, though. VoiVod is another good reference.
There are some good stuff here though and some pretty dire stuff here.
This is a decent enough album but not one that I am really enjoying as the sound quality is too poor for my liking.
