Un Domax Irakus Iranus

Iran's progressive trio Kahtmayan, whose violent marriage of krautrock, the French Zeuhl music of Magma, and early Metallica contains samples of US pilots' radio communiqués as they prepared to attack northern Iraq. Recent pictures of these guys show them making signs of the horned god, and images of Tehran's business centres sprayed with Kahtmayan's own heavy metal graffiti - which all inclines me to believe the rumour that one member was recently murdered by Iran's secret police.
