Ameretat - s/t LP

AMERETAT Is S and K, children of the Iranian diaspora with family on both sides of the autocratic barrier. Their songs pull from musical and literary influences across the Iranic world, using both modern and traditional folk instruments. The style takes elements from crust and hardcore, with multitonal feedback reminiscent of traditional drone instruments of the region. Inspired by noisy hardcore such as LSD, as well as the macabre anarcho-punk of RUDIMENTARY PENI and the sombreness of UNION OF URANUS and DYSTOPIA. AMERETAT attempts to combine old and modern styles to create something new. Their lyrical themes explore war, power, love, despair, kindness, and our common humanity, utilising verses and excerpts in Persian, Avestan, Lori, Kurdish, and English.
