Ameretat's Humanity Playlist

Freak Zone Playlist

Available for 28 days

S from Ameretat explores our common humanity with an hour of his favourite punk, metal, new wave and hardcore tracks with a sprinkling of Iranian folk and psychedelic rock. Ameretat are a group based in the Iranian diaspora, who blend traditional Iranian musical and literary influences with crust, hardcore and drone. Using both ancient and modern instruments, they explore themes of war, power, love and humanity in multiple languages including Persian, Kurdish and English. This is the first of a series of playlists from acts playing this year's Supersonic festival in Birmingham.
