AZHIROCK is a Progressive Death Metal band from Tehran, Iran. It was formed by Babak Farrokhi, Soheil Olfat and Ali Z (Bass player) in 2006.

After they finished recording their Demo album "Sacred Inferno", Ali Z left the band. That was the time the they were thinking and dreaming about their first video for the song "That Someone Is Me". Bahman Tirgan filmed and directed that.

After several months (Spring 2009) Soheil and Babak started making their first official album. Also they made their second video: "Annihilated Lucifer"; a prototype of Iranian Progressive Death Metal song.

Due to signing up in Festivals and willing to hold live concerts, Soheil and Babak decided to form the band by adding new members as Bass player and Drummer and also another Guitar player.

August 2009, Kasra joined the band as Lead guitar player and played solo parts in the song "Unnecessarily Alive". The month after Hossein came to play Bass guitar. Although Azhirock boys are still looking for a permanent Drummer interested in Progressive Metal and Death Metal, they are playing together in order to keep themselves ready for live concerts.

Next Level: KICK MAX ASS ALL AROUND THE WORLD!
