"Sovereign" is an instrumental recitation of Shahnameh (The Epic of Kings) i.e. an extensive Persian epic poem written by Ferdowsi as a collection of Persian mythologies. Here you will find western rock instrumentation with eastern flavor. Some songs, I think, are apt to be adapted for traditional Iranian dance; especially “Sovereign” and “Harem” tracks. Actually, I am looking forward to the choreographic performance adaptations for this work whenever possible. Imagine Iranian "Coffee-house paintings" and belly dance with distorted guitars performing cheerful rhythms... Unusual combination? No, to me that sounds all natural!

A hard "rock wall" exists against rock music in Iran. What could be the reaction of a hard rocker against such wall? A knock? No. Arashk guys chose to YELL!

YELL album songs range from hard rock to heavy metal and progressive rock but there is one unifying theme: Centuries of pain and hope looking salvation in lyrics of great poets and music of bold young musicians who find nothing better expressing their spirit than heavy rock music. It gets back to 2001 when Pouyan Khajavi and Shahram Khosraviani established Arashk band and started their artistic expression, rock style... But it was not sooner than 7 years later when Arashk built a private studio and recorded the album themselves.

The Persian lyrics convey various themes from an innocent prisoner (song "Prison", lyrics: Masud Sa'd Salman) to story of Zahhak, evil mythical emperor of Persia who fed the black serpents on his shoulders with youth human brains (song "Yell", lyrics: Ferdowsi).

YELL album has Pouyan Khajavi on vocals/guitars, Shahram Khosraviani on drums arrangement and Salim Ghazi Saeedi on guitars and keyboards. The bass parts are also played by Pouyan. In YELL you find rich melodic riffs and solos of hard rock accompanied by the creative spirit prevalent in progressive rock and an eastern blend evoking deep emotions refreshing your soul by rich Persian spirit!

Generally categorized as Persian hard rock, YELL album composers, Pouyan and Shahram think that the album's style has formed spontaneously: "The compositions were intended to reflect the inherent soul within poems themselves. And it is surprising that how these poems were excellently blended with hard rock and metal styles.". Pouyan says. "So one may not find any paradox between singing in Persian and western music style at all." The YELL spirit confirms that despite the ancient style of the poems (mostly versified about 700 years ago), their concepts could still be applicable and even more present in today life!

YELL album is available for streaming in full length at Arashk's website.

Salim has dedicated a song entitled "For Jeremy, Embodying the Mastermind" to Jeremy Brett in his 2011 album, Human Encounter.

Wish you were along
for the ride?
And he just passed out about...
a minute ago
Would I have stopped it
had I been there?
It was nothing less than pure
providence that I arrived here.

Welcome to my daydream: "Avant-garde ancient art-rock from Iran".

The moment I came out of my mother's womb, I cried. Now, after finishing "Iconophobic" I know why. That deep void was a reality that I lost. I followed some chords. Hoping that they lead to the umbilical cord...

I used screaming guitars, classical instruments, electronic beats and even sound effects to grumble, pour out my heart, mourn and rejoice repetitively.

This album is a concept album about fearing the world of imagery. I don't know if it is really a psychological problem but I liked the idea of morbid alienation toward images, icons and in general, reality. Iconophobic's booklet contains a passage in form of a circle that reads:

"Alas that man was free...When there was no image.
Alas that image became a means... for altering the reality.
Alas that reality... is itself, an imagery by man."

Salim is an Iranian composer and guitarist in a variety of genres ranging from progressive metal and jazz-fusion to avant-garde classical chamber rock and progressive electronic rock. Moreover some critiques, prefer art rock instead and recognize his music with a minimalist approach.

As I came to Earth in 1981, I involuntarily came into contact with human race. Except for a few bright encounters, I found the rest, dark and ugly. “Human Encounter” is my diary of these encounters. This album is divided into two categories:

The “dark side” reflects the ugly experiences. I noticed that human beings have a tendency to call everything by a name and misunderstand it later. So I do not care what they may actually mean by a word like "evil"; but no doubt human beings themselves are the main source of terror, pain and destruction on Earth.

The “bright side” reflects the pleasures I encountered in this planet. I say no pleasure happens on Earth without a human medium; so the corresponding songs are dedicated to individual human beings. Of course at first sight, Earth seems physically alluring, but those are only temporary characteristics. The only immortal thing is what a man creates.

Now that I am departing this planet, I will only miss a few people like those I named in the “bright side”... Let the others putrefy in the abyss of time.

I dream... and dream... and dream...
I live in my world of fantasy.
Walking in this world, I compose as I hear, and rest as I quiet.
Pictorial rock is a term I use for my music that is usually based on series of mental images, a nightmare or maybe dreams of a sound sleep... As a listener, you have to wait for the pictures to materialize in your mind!

The lack of genes for lysine and cyteine aminoacid-tRNA synthetases spurred the successful search for the corresponding enzymes that are not homologous to their common eukaryal equivalents. Surprisingly, a Bacteria-like ftsZ gene was identified, which later turned out to be characteristic for the Euryarchaeota only, as opposed to the Crenarchaeota, and which led to the idea that archaeal cell division might occur by a domain-specific mechanism.

This may only in part be
explained by the lowest coding coverage of all
archaeal genomes, 73.6% (compared to 89.2% for
group I methanogens; Table 7.2), the longest average
ORF size, 925bp (compared to 804bp for extreme
halophiles; Table 7.3), and unusually long intergenic
regions (on average 341bp in M. acetivorans
versus 122bp in A. fulgidus).

The oxygen cost of performing work (vo2)is dependent upon the work rate. The oxygen cost can be measured through indirect calorimetr in the exercise physiology laboratory and is repoted in absolute (L/min) or relative terms (ml/kg/min). The caloric cost of performing work can be estimated from the measurement of the oxygen cost .One litter of oxygen utilized during exercise is equal to approximately 20kj(5kcal)in energy expenditure. The correct SI units are jules.
