1.
We are the pillars that cast their shadows over thy throne We are the shades that survive the ages of corrupted light We are all that was We are all that be Pillars of the primordial myth that shall arise in the end times that is nigh
2.
Ye, servants of doom Behold the crushing waves of truth Ye, ghouls of odorous chasms Beware the light that burneth your sacrilege We cleanse the filth that ye have spread across the Elysian fields of celestial spheres

about

Broken pillars are the eternal graves of deities from ancient times, gods and goddesses who once benevolently ruled the Persian lands and cherished their children with holy light and pure thoughts.

These sounds pray to the elders of forgotten myths who perished in the endless conquests of outlandish demons.
May they awake again to the scent of a new age...

******

Broken Pillars’ music can be described as the Persian response to Hellenic black metal. The songs contain slow yet deliberate black-metal-sounding guitar riffing and grandiose symphonic arrangements. The music can be interpreted as chants trying to reawaken an empire lost to the cruelties of time. The name “broken pillars” is inspired by the ancient ruins of Persepolis (𐎱𐎠𐎼𐎿), one of the oldest sites of civilization, which was the capital of the Achaemenid Empire circa 500 BC. Through the band’s name, the duo is ambitious to represent their heritage and the current identity chaos in Iran. The EP features ancient deities and legends from Iran’s ancient history.
