Band Biographies: Redvi

Esoteric djent riffs combined with haunting melodies, Iranian band Redvi is on a mission to showcase a distinctive take on “thall.” Formed in 2024 by bassist Haman “Cultist h” and guitarist Koorosh “Cultist k”, the group emerged from the founders’ shared fascination with djent, particularly the intense and atmospheric strain known as “thall” music. Shortly after the band’s inception, vocalist Bardiya “Cultist m” joined, bringing a powerful voice that enhances Redvi’s sonic depth. Together, the trio crafts a sound rich with dissonant, groovy riffs that evoke an immersive tension and an aura of unsettling mystery.

 

Mazdeh’s vocal style, a combination of vicious growls and contrasting clean melodies, adds layers to the music, amplifying the emotional intensity. His range allows him to convey raw aggression in verses while haunting clean vocals in the choruses lend an eerie calm, setting Redvi apart in the djent scene.

 

Lyrically, Redvi delves into themes that resonate deeply, from the fear of the unknown and cosmic horror to the trials of human self-awareness. These themes are explored with a haunting poignancy, inviting listeners to question their identity and grapple with existential dread. For fans of complex soundscapes and thought-provoking lyrics, Redvi offers a captivating journey into the realms of darkness and introspection.
