Sargas’ latest release, Hell, is a harrowing journey into the depths of despair and defiance, serving as the gut-wrenching climax to their new EP, Historia. Written during one of the darkest moments in Iranian history—the 2023 protests following the murder of Mahsa ‘Jina’ Amini—this track, like the entire EP, is dedicated to the resilience and suffering of women in third-world countries.
Historia unfolds as a three-act tragedy. Birth captures the suffocating existence of a woman bound by oppressive traditions, Home depicts the cruel irony of finding solace in death, and Hell plunges into the agonizing choice between earthly suffering and the unknown void beyond. In Hell, the protagonist wrestles with the idea of suicide as an escape from the world’s cruelty, seeing death not as an end, but as the threshold to something more divine than the life she’s endured.
Brutal in its honesty and haunting in its execution, Hell cements Historia as not just an EP, but a visceral, unfiltered scream against oppression—a reminder that sometimes, the most terrifying thing isn’t the afterlife, but the world we’ve built for ourselves.

Biography
Crushing Death Metal grooves and ominous roars—Iranian Death Metal quintet Sargas shatters genre norms with their distinct brand of Nihilistic Metal. Formed in 2018 by guitarist Salar Alizadeh and former drummer Hamed Sadraei, the Tehran-based Blackened Death Metal outfit underwent several lineup changes during the three-year songwriting process for their upcoming debut album. The band’s evolution took a defining turn with the arrival of Saleh Rezayi on vocals, whose ferocious growls and screams became a driving force in their sound. With the addition of Arsalan Soltani on lead guitar and Pooya Shitrah as drummer and band manager, Sargas solidified their lineup and sharpened their vision. Drawing inspiration from Black and Doom Metal, they fearlessly defy extreme metal conventions—including the genre’s longstanding aversion to clean vocals. Marked by triumphs and tragedies, and shaped by the loss of those closest to them, Sargas crafts music that emerges from darkness and embraces death itself.

Saleh Rezaei – Vocals
