Explode – Temptation (2005)
Recorded this Demo album with my friends Mohammad Tasooji (Rhythm Guitars, Bass, Vocals) and Reza Tasooji (Drums) and me (Rhythm and Lead Guitars) in Mohammad and Reza’s home studio. This demo album contains 6 tracks in Thrash Metal genre with Persian lyrics. Back in the day we were into 80s metal music so this record was heavily influenced by this particular genre of music. we mixed and mastered the record ourselves. due to the lack of budget and lack of experience the music sounds so dated now but I am proud of what we’ve done in those days.

Second record of my former band, Explode, recorded in Eutopia studio during 2009 and 2010. It was our first experience recording a metal album in studio, (Including Drums).

The album recorded by Majid Sobhani and Hadi Kiani and mixed and mastered by Hadi Kiani. It contains six songs and has English lyrics which was a new experience for us as well.
