In memory of that silence...

The New Single from Darband

They put a bullet through a song, and buried a poem before it could ever cry aloud. Here, upon this black slate, history itself bears witness to the crime of night against an unripe dawn.

This lullaby is not a lament for one lone body, but for humanity nested in the small confines of a single coffin, mourning its own murdered tomorrow. Listen closely: that is not the shriek of iron and gunpowder; it is the dense silence of a flower whose beautiful dreams have been crushed beneath the rubble.

This lament is an indictment against an age where a child’s laughter is sold cheaply.

A story that needs to be heard—our new track arrives soon.

Persian Text

...به یادِ آن سکوت

تک‌آهنگ جدید از دربند

آوازی را به گلوله بستند. و شعری را، پیش از آن‌که به فریاد درآید، به خاک سپردند. اینجا، بر این لوحِ سیاه، تاریخ گواهی می‌دهد به جنایتِ شب بر سپیده‌ی نارس.

این لالایی، مرثیه‌ای‌ست نه برای یک تن، که برای انسانیتی که در کوچکیِ یک تابوت، به سوگِ فردایِ خویش نشسته است. گوش بسپارید: این ضجه‌ی آهن و باروت نیست؛ این سکوتِ سنگینِ گلی‌ست که رویاهای قشنگش را بر آن آوار کردند.

این مرثیه، کیفرخواستی‌ست علیه عصری که در آن، خنده‌ی کودکی به بهای ارزانی فروخته می‌شود.

About Solitude (album)

Solitude," the debut album from Darband, delves into the profound themes of life and death, love and its absence, the transient nature of existence, and the experience of solitude. Opening with "Memories," a composition by Darband, the album sets a reflective tone, journeying through past experiences. This theme of reflection is further explored in the title track, "Solitude," which examines the multifaceted aspects of solitude, intertwined with personal and collective memories. "Grandma’s House" revisits the nostalgia of a long-lost childhood, while "Ravage" offers Darband's musical interpretation of a poem by Hafez, melding classical literature with contemporary soundscapes. "Startled from a Dream" captures ephemeral moments of love, and "Ghazal 759" is an artistic adaptation of a poem by Rumi, adding a mystical dimension to the album. The collection concludes with "Snails," featuring a poem by noted contemporary poet Roja Chamankar, which presents a nuanced perspective on love in a patriarchal society.
