Iranian Diaspora Hardcore Punk Band SIYAHKAL Release Track Off Upcoming LP [Canada/Iran]

By on April 3, 2026

Tough times all over the world…not just recently, been going on for decades. Iranian diaspora hardcore punk band SIYAHKAL have just released a single off their upcoming album. The band also attached the following writing in regards to current situation.

“This album was recorded in January 2026, but before February 28, 2026. Writing about this album, now, is proving harder than writing the album itself.

Many pages and iterations and still nothing comes to mind that feels right other than speaking on how we feel personally.

This album is about contradictions and paradoxes. They are at war now. But we have been fighting the evil known as the Islamic Republic for decades in any way, shape, or form. Now we are getting carpet bombed by big beautiful bombs their B2 bombers drop on our heads.

We see some devastated by this war and some that sing songs as bombs fall on their neighbourhoods. What’s brought us to this point? We are happy to hear Khamenei has evaporated and joined the rest of the cohort in hell. That happiness lasts for only a moment, as we remember that our people are being bombed at the same time.

We/they attack our bodies with every means possible. Drugs, alcohol, razors, ropes, bullets, batons, bombs, sirens, rubble, … .

We cherish life even if they don’t want to let us live it. Only in the moments when we are gathered together – when we get high, drunk, or dissociate – do we feel alive. All of those moments end with a kiss, a big hug, a deep sigh and a sliver of hope that maybe one day we will be free. We owe this to the people that aren’t here with us when the spring comes each year.

Outside Iran we are eating like shit. Glued to our phones. News cranked on the TV. Articles open on our computers. We do anything to feel something. Inside Iran, they shoot us in the street. They bomb us from the sky. We are watching our bodies deteriorate day by day. No one gives a fuck about us, but us.

There is nothing else left to say. To all the lives lost and the life that follows!”
