Arashk members are eastern minded guys who enjoy western music and try to have their own interpretation of hard/progressive rock.
The Goal is not to blend or even reconcile eastern and western music which are ill-advisedly considered detached; but to insist on the evident fact that creativity in music is not culturally bounded.
Arashk established at 2001 in Tehran, Iran. It has published three albums till now that the album Abrahadabra is now on sale. The band has many instrumental songs as well as songs with vocal. One may choose the term "Pictorial Rock" for these instrumental songs because there have been tried to a painting canvas be represented by them. A painting with much exaggerated details. Salim points that "...I like exaggerated details and very subtle techniques of instrument and when I come across for composing a catchy part in one song I see no reason for repeating it. If someone liked that part, can rewind the song!"
Today the digital technology hands possibilities by which any musician with any style finds the opportunity to record his "ideas" with utmost quality in his home-studio. Thus, the gap between subjectivity and objectivity diminishes day-by-day. This band has prepared three albums till now. The first album, Abrahadabra, an instrumental blend, represents the Iranian look toward progressive rock music. However that it is composed in occidental instrumentation, may could uncover the oriental origin of its composer in background. This album has now put on sale on band's website. The second album, Sovereign, , is also instrumental and this time the possibilities of electronic music in companion with modern hard-rock instrumentation is being shown. This album is currently being under mastering process. The fourth album, Yell, is a vocalized hard-rock/metal blend which recites a "message toward every artificial bounds and bindings". Illusions which are being surpassed by the aid of new millennium technology.
Third album, Ustuqus-al-Uss, is now out. This album combines elements of progressive rock, oriental mood and also incorporates piano and violin as solo instruments.
