TarantisT

This heavy metal group, forced to flee Iran, believe that their music should be recongised because they endangered their lives to play their music., "because we left our country, family, friends and our everything to be able to play. Because we didnt have any place or any equipment to play music. Because nothing was ready for us, unlike the people all around the world, to rock. Because we made everything ready, just by being brave and wanting to risk for our goal. We played music in danger, in hiding places, in basement and undergrounds, coexisting with cockroaches and bugs... no audience but spiders on the wall, while all other rock bands in the world were drowning in Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll."
