Kahtmayan is an Iranian Thrash Metal band now based in Iran. History The band started in 2003 with Khaled Sanadzadeh as the drummer and Ali Khodadoust as the keyboardist. In 2004, Khaled left the band and went abroad. Ali Khodadoust, too, did not continue with Kahtmayan after that time. The band's first concert was in May 2003 at the Academy of Arts in Tehran and their second one was in December 2003/January 2004 both with the former members. Kahtmayan fuses krautrock, the French Zeuhl music of Magma, and early Metallica, while mixing in samples of US pilots’ radio communiqués in Iraq. In July 2005, Kahtmayan released its first album, EXIR, by Ava Khorshid Company. With the release of Exir, Kahtmayan shifted their music towards a more thrash metal sound. Another album, Virtual Existence, is in progressive metal style and it is performed by guitar, bass, keyboard and drums. In instruction of this album, Kahtmayan has used some of melodic elements and various atmospheres (in harmonic point of view) and rhythms. Virtual Existence which involved 9 tracks was finished by Homayoon Majdzadeh on 2002. Current Situation Kahtmayan has recently revealed that Arash Moghaddam is the new drummer for the band after Vanik Vartanian moved to the California to pursue his own musical ambitions. The bands future has recently been plunged into question when guitarists Ali Azhari and Homayoon Majdzadeh left the band to turn their attention fully on their Death Metal side-project, ArthimotH abd Arsames.
