Safeer-e-arsh

Safeer-e-arsh () is an Iranian heavy metal band.

Based in Tehran, the name of the band refers to Rumi, Persia's medieval poet. Safeer-e-arsh means Toppest level of Sky.

The band was first founded in 1995, and is composed of song writer Pejman Vaseghi (guitars), Farzad Heidari (vocals), Farshid Hosseini (vocals), Joobin Mahmoodi (Drums), and Reza Khoshnevis (keyboards).

Most of the lyrics of the band are directly derived from verses of Diwan-e Shams-e Tabrizi. Their debut album Kavir was composed in 2001 but was finally released in 2007 after obtaining a record label permit from Iran's Ministry of Islamic Guidance.
