Persepolis, by Tir

Persepolis

by Tir

supported by

Dave Aftandilian Fascinating and moving dungeon synth reimagining of the rise and fall of one of ancient Persia’s most important sites. We see winding parades of nobles dressed in gold and bright colors bringing tribute to the king and the gods, bearded astronomers consulting the heavens for signs and portents by moonlight, and finally the utter destruction of the site by fire and sword at Alexander’s hand. Very cool to see archaeological findings and Zoroastrian worldviews given new life here!

BE020 Tir "Persepolis" Pro-tape/Digipack CD

Mankind was once on another journey, one found rooted in the ancestors of the ancient past. Presenting us with war and nature on the one hand, and falsehood, fears and ambitions on the other, the empire of Persepolis greets us with its lurid face. While ashes rained from the sky, legions of swords unsheathed revealed the unchanged quest for human power often overshadowed by revenge, power and glory. And yet, as the great earth is reflected in the air; and the sky in the stars too, these stories of life and death are a symphony that transcends centuries, and it was an honor for me to describe this chaos.

Consumed by hate…
Pride emblazoned...
Persepolis - Naked as the sand!

“Persepolis” is an expanded, re-mixed and re-imagined version of Tir’s long sold out 2019 album, “The Vanished Civilization of Xattoth”, previously released by Heimat Der Katastrophe.
On this latest Tir “redux”, fresh orchestrations reveal added layers of harmonic and melodic depth, and many compositions have been extended to uncover a much darker side of the “Persepolis” narrative. It also features two new pieces unique to this release, with a special guest appearance from Varkana on the album's final track, “Forgotten Prophecy”.

Please support & purchase the digital album directly through the artists:

flies the coop

A dreamy, beguiling, nostalgic dungeon synth quest through the shires. But, it's so much more than that. The LP incorporates some unique key changes, field recordings and a lot of Mort Garson style synth work. It sometimes reminds me of old 70's PG horror soundtracks. The record is addictive melancholy inspiration. The ideal music for accompanying the dawning morning of an epic adventure. brantly
