• Interview with Atash: Black Metal Musician in Exile
    Feb 6 2025
    Metalheads and defenders of artistic freedom, unite! Our brother in black metal, Atash, needs our support. The mastermind behind Kaaboos, whose latest opus "Anti-Cosmic Rebellion" was expertly mixed and mastered by Manticore Productions with cover art by Viltisvm, faces a dire situation. Atash, who fled Iran in 2019 seeking refuge in the hallowed grounds of Norwegian black metal, now faces deportation back to a country where his music and beliefs put his life at risk5. The Norwegian immigration authorities have rejected his asylum claim, disregarding the very real dangers he faces in Iran, where heavy metal is considered blasphemous and illegal. Here's how you can help: Donate to Atash's legal fund. He needs to raise €11,000 to cover his lawyer's fees and fight this unjust deportation order. Spread the word. Share Atash's story on social media, in metal forums, and at shows. Contact Norwegian authorities. Express your concern about Atash's case and the importance of protecting artists. Support Kaaboos. Stream "Anti-Cosmic Rebellion" and purchase physical copies when they become available in 2025 Remember, the black metal community has always stood for individual freedom and against oppression. Let's show Atash that he's not alone in this battle. Your support could mean the difference between life and death, between silence and the continued creation of powerful, transgressive art. Don't let the flames of Atash's creativity be extinguished. Act now to keep the spirit of black metal alive and protect one of our own from persecution. https://www.instagram.com/kaaboos.atash/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
