Sahhar's biography is quite simple, as what matters is the release dates; or more specifically, when I compile some tracks and put them for the public eye- err, ear. What also matter is the themes that come to my mind, both what comes as lyrical content and also what inspired the sound-scape for the album. As some of my more stoic followers will notice, each release has a definite sound, unique to all others. This is also true to the attempt of having a more professional sound as well, each album signifying a milestone of progress. Or so I try.
N.B. bracketed names are the English translation.
1st gathering: 2006 - Qamar Gdid [New Moon].
Lyrically varies from depressing verses to utter misanthropy. Musically simple. There’s an utter inconsistency of recordings in the tracks.
2nd Gathering: 2007 - Genesis of Demise.
First 'official' demo. Recording techniques are same in the main three tracks. With the intro being nothing more than slow negative MIDI tones. Well my resources well always limited but I always try to be efficient with them. Lyrically on the offensive, quite shocking as the few who know will be able to tell.
3rd Gathering. 2008 - Magija Sewda [Black Magic]
More tracks than it's predecessor, mostly faster too. Drums like clockwork on cocaine. Guitars dry and distorted but with increased skill. Lyrical themes might be shocking but this album has a more storyline approach to it, especially the last four tracks.
4th Gathering - 2009 - Thine Triumphant Death
A split release tape with Iconic Destruction, lyrics to a particular track written by a friend of mine. Quite a good release with a good response probably because a record label was involved with the equation. Then again this was an overseas project.
In 2010, I was working on another release but some issues in my life resulting into a horrible sound, or at least not the sound I was expecting. Also similar issues then eventually forced me into a sabbatical. I returned to the horror in 2012.
5th Gathering - 2013 - Mera Mkissra [Broken Mirror]
Short, Crisp and varied with an immense effort on vocal variations. Soundwise is my most balanced. Lyrically is both apocalyptic and maddening with some Semitic occult touches.
6th Gathering - 2014 - Difna Fl-Infern [Burial in Hell]
Latest release, fresh off the boat, couldn't afford to replicate the vocal effort Mera Mkissra had due to my voice going tits-up a few months earlier. But it takes Mera Mkissra's sound and boosts it to newer levels. My second longest release it boasts 8 tracks and 36 minutes of sound. Lyrically an amalgamation of both a journey and a depiction of hell with a lot of twists. This album also features a track which lyrically is not of my credit.

L'horizon est paradoxal, à la fois porte d'entrée vers l'infini mais aussi un mur qui bloque notre regard. Ekove Efrits le transcende dans son troisième album Conceptual Horizon, il le met à la merci de son imagination. Hypermnesia a été un tournant pour le one-man band iranien qui fait de cette nouvelle création un théâtre du monde au nombre d'acteurs et de décors quasiment illimité. C'est un des albums de black metal dépressif les plus éclectiques que je connaisse : un grand coup de maître ! Jordan Vauvert

I love this particular niche of modern black metal. Crisp, biting production and clear, cutting riffs. Imperialist are among the best there is right now. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
