Knight of Fire is a persian deathmetal-band formed in Isfahan 1991, under the name Black Swastica. Year 2002 the bandmembers and songwriters Owrang Haghany and Mehr Nadeb escaped to Sweden from persecution, for playing death metal music and writing lyrics which criticized the regime.
Their style is fast, brutal and technical, and quite unlike any other metal. It was called "Isfahanian metal" in an interview with BBC Persian.
