TEHRAN (IR/SE)

TEHRAN (IR/SE)

Blasting dark dissonance highlights a transformation and exclamation of resistance, faith, and transcendence. 

Be blown away from what deceiving confines of Scandinavian hygge when TEHRAN takes over the former Gasoline Station in Havnebyen with HUSQVARNA live. 

As much as the moniker TEHRAN signals powerful rebirth, the album HUSQVARNA also feels like an extension of how they always channel multitudes of raw emotion with no bullshit as the only convention. Drenched in dissonant nu-metal guitars and relentless blast beats, it's a haunting exploration of grief, addiction, and resistance. TEHRAN's voice screams, growls, and tender melodies in Swedish, English, and Farsi conveys a razor-sharp, unapologetic sincerity. 

The performance references TEHRAN's birthplace, Jönköping, a city marked by geopolitical complexity, migrant alienation, and a historic Swedish weapons production site. HUSQVARNA’s visuals reflect these themes, portraying defiance and transformation against Sweden’s industrial backdrop. Each track places its characters alongside Jönköping landmarks, industrial homes, chaotic nature, and orderly institutions all settings that shape TEHRAN’s journey in confronting the past and present drive to break free from the deceptive confines of Scandinavian ‘hygge.’ 

Since the last year TEHRAN has made a few carefully selected performances of the album live with a band of local weirdlings, channeling nothing but Shakespearian agony and chainsaw catharsis. 

TEHRAN, the bold and unruly Iranian/Swedish artist formerly known as Nadia Tehran. Following their groundbreaking debut DOZAKH in 2019, and touring with Yung Lean, TEHRAN returns with a fierce new vision. For the past 5 years, they have found themselves in the shadowy creeks of the Copenhagen underground forging a new identity at once forcefully iconic, enigmatic, and deeply personal. Now, TEHRAN unveils HUSQVARNA, a groundbreaking visual album set for release under their own label, Inherited Void.
