TarantisT

Brothers Arash and Arsalan Rahbary, formed metal rock band TarantisT in Iran in the year 2000.

Arash and Arsalan both learned to play music when they were only six years old (Arash is three years older than Arsalan). Arash started by playing Santoor (a stringed musical instrument), while Arsalan started by playing guitar, which later raised Arash�s interest to learn to play guitar. After learning to play lead guitar, Arash got interested in playing bass guitar and has been ever since.
Arash composes all of the music and write the lyrics. Arsalan adds many riffs and has other inputs. Also, Bahman, who plays guitar and also pitches in with the vocals, has had some inputs.

During the past few years TarantisT has had some underground and on-the-ground concerts in Tehran, they even won a gold prize in a festival organized by Tehran Municipality! They were the only rock band who participated. While the sponsors tried not to allow them to play, they still managed to rock the house and win the gold medal.

TarantistT has had concerts in Europe, Middle East (Dubai) and has been touring USA in 2008.
