Ardawahisht Kollective

Ardawahisht Kollective A collective from within the Iranian underground music scene Ardawahisht is the Amesha Spenta of truth and righteousness in Zoroastrianism.

What is told here, is the truth within you, me, all of us; which no one can see, or hear, but deep inside, one can feel that it’s breathing, watching every minute we walk this earth in darkness. The collective was founded in 3756 ZRE, as a home to the musical endeavours of the Iranian musician Harpag Karnik, and all the related projects. Its main goal is to show the unexplored paths of transcendence and find the root of all emotions. In advance, what the collective tries to achieve, is to gather the less-known Iranian projects rooted within black metal, ambient, and experimental territories. As of 2023, the core members of the collective are Harpag Karnik himself, Earthen Shade, Ardwisur and Taurvi.

"A testimony of mass slaughter.
Stay blind or wake up to the truth, i don't care.
This is the reality of what happened in Iran in January 2026.
The world remained silent. The world accused us.
The world deserves to suffer for that.
And it will. Just like we did and we have and we are."

Behold the infernal spawn of Désespéré!

Neminem Occisorum Nominabis Nam Loco Nostro Steterunt is the antithesis of redemption. It is the sonic manifestation of suffering and despair, and a monument of slaughter and the aftermath of such monstrosity.

The scenery is one of sheer nightmare: Corpses mingled and maimed, scattered on the roads and squares, walls painted by the blood and brains of many a slain civilian, demons dancing and laughing through the slaughter, and a night of blood-scented ruins.

Neminem Occisorum Nominabis Nam Loco Nostro Steterunt is the first album in a series of experimental drone/doom/noise endeavours by Harpag Karnik.

Wanderers,

We invite you to join us in the celebration of our Harpag Karnik's debut novel release, Kahropa: The Amber Heart of Apaxtaran.

It is a dark fantasy novel set in the Apaxtari realms, a winterbound land beneath the looming peaks of Apaxtaran. Within these pages, you will find tales of oppression, hope, and sacrifice. The novel is also accompanied by Kahropa, the latest album by Erancnoir, should you wish to hear the musical equivalent of this journey.

The book is available on Amazon, in both e-book and paperback formats.

We hope you find interest in this tale of sacrifice.

Kahropa is the tale of Lady Zaldoxt, the last Zal princess and the final sentinel of the besnowed mountains of Apaxtaran.

Greetings, dear Wanderers!

Behold Erancnoir's return after more than 6 years with Kahropa, a concept album that will also serve as the soundtrack to Harpag Karnik's upcoming dark fantasy debut novel "Kahropa: The Amber Heart of Apaxtaran" (due for release on March 1, 2026). It is this forlorn sage's longest musical endeavour to date, featuring epic landscapes, sorrowful lyrics, a gloomy winter atmosphere, and otherworldly vocals by a lady of Apaxtari origins.

"Kahropa is the tale of Lady Zaldoxt, the last Zal princess and the final sentinel of the besnowed mountains of Apaxtaran. For generations, the Apaxtari realms have endured murderous onslaughts by the night wights, shadow fiends of unknown origin that descend upon the lands of men from beyond the frozen pinnacles.

Ancient legends speak of a once-majestic empress who wrought the world from the amber blood within her veins. Yet the vanity of men led to the profane slaying of the Lady Kahropa, and of all her empyrean divinity, only an amber heart remained, fused to the very sword that defiled her corporeal form.

Fate led Zaldoxt to this relic deep within a tunnel beneath the Apaxtari borders, where the lingering consciousness of the fallen Goddess whispered unto her soul: take up the sword and the heart, and return them to Yaxzul, the Citadel of Ice, the crystalline monument raised upon the ruins of her otherworldly palace, where her amber tomb now lies guarded by her primordial kin, Zaxtar, the King of the Void.

Only by enduring this harrowing pilgrimage and reconciling the heart with the Goddess’ comatose form could Zaldoxt hope to end the ceaseless onslaught of the Void and spare the waking world from annihilation.

But could she fulfil her charge and prove to the zealots and oppressors of her kind, and above all to Zaxtar the Void King, that the world yet deserved redemption? Or would she fall, and with her, consign all creation to the eternal darkness of nothingness?"

You can also hear and purchase the album on Erancoir's official Bandcamp page:

May you enjoy this odyssey of ascension.

Iran
Total Digital blackout.
More than 12,000 innocent civilians were murdered in less than 4 days.
And the death toll keeps rising. 16,000... 20,000...

Are we just meaningless numbers on this corrupted earth?

Dear wanderers,

From the very beginnings of Ardawahisht Kollective and the many projects I have had throughout the years, I have always tried my hardest to represent my motherland, Iran, in the textures and themes of those myriad releases, for I am a child who shall never abandon his mother, even in the direst of hardships.

During these past few weeks, my country, my land, my divine, lovely mother, is going through one of its most terrible and violent nights in her history since the murderous theocratic regime took her children and her soil hostage. Almost five decades of tyranny, war mongering, violent suppression, and non-Iranian religious propaganda, the people, the lovely and brave people of Iran, have risen in unity, despite all the suppression, against this murderous regime and all its savage allies to liberate their divine mother Iran from the heinous chains of the Islamic Republic.

The tyrants have then blocked all paths of connection, and as I am writing this long passage, they are savagely killing the people, the people who have nothing against these beasts' genocidal tendencies and weapons but their will, dignity and each other.
A new era for Ardawahisht has begun, and with it, I am proudly sharing with you the new identity of this entity.

In my culture, Simurgh is the legendary bird of prey who rises to help those in need when they call her name, and so she is the eternal representation of the Iranian majesty. Right now, we are fighting one of the grimmest evils in the history of civilisation, and our hearts are bonded and calling upon the cosmos, so that Simurgh will awake from her inflicted sleep after five decades of darkness.

You are more than welcome to be our voice on this path towards redemption and ridding the world of a horrible cult of unrest and terror, and spread the word to those who can join this (hopefully) one last stand against tyranny and chaos.

I have never been more proud to be Iranian.

" 𐬛𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬔𐬆𐬨 𐬘𐬍𐬬𐬁𐬙 𐬀𐬌𐬭𐬫𐬀𐬥𐬆𐬨 𐬬𐬀𐬉𐬘𐬀𐬵 𐬎𐬞𐬀 𐬯𐬀𐬉𐬥𐬀𐬵𐬈 𐬛𐬭𐬀𐬟𐬱𐬀"
"Darəgəm Jīvāt Airyanəm Vaejah Upa Saēnahe Drafša!"
"Long may live Iran under the banner of Simurgh!"
