King Raam

King Raam is the lead singer of Hypernova, a post-punk band born in the undergrounds of Tehran. Growing up amongst a generation whose voices are often left unheard, he was able to draw inspiration from the simple art of music, a universal language recognized by all cultures, in order to express himself. His solo act invokes a subtle balance of emotion and feeling, tapping into the love, pain and struggles of his time. His compositions are sometimes simple mantric chords and other times completely symphonic, blending hallucinatory chant like voices with straight ahead melodies. After years of writing and singing in English, Raam has recently begun singing in Persian. The lyrics for his Persian songs have been written by Tara Aghdashloo.
Joining Raam onstage will be the modern electro duo Beat Syndrome. Their music provides a means of expressing emotions and concepts that are often too deep or profound to be expressed with words. Their production is an expression of life, and often where words fail, their music speaks.
Together they will be blending their rock ‘n’ roll influences with atmospheric and hypnotic electronic sounds in order to bring to life a surreal soundscape.
