Draft:Baramant

"Baramant" is an Iranian Metal band formed by Hamed Babaei and Amir Khoshharf in 2007. "Baramant" is a misreading of two Persian words "بارامانت" (baar-e-amaanat) which translates to "the load of owing" in English.

Originally named "Slogan," the band changed their name to "Baramant" in 2015. Since their formation, Baramant has released one studio album, Homarg, in 2019. They have also produced three music videos: "Slogan ," "Fearlessness ," and "Gantlope." In Farsi, Homarg means of a Euthanasia device.

Baramant is known for their multi-media art approach, often integrating visual and experiential elements into their performances to challenge their audience. For instance, during a performance titled "Dead Room " at Darbast Platform, the audience listened to the band exclusively through headphones provided at the venue. In another performance called "Inversion" at RoobeRoo Mansion, they utilized lighting techniques that made it difficult for the audience to see them clearly.

Baramant was also invited to a meeting held at Hanooz Publication to discuss rock music and the challenges and issues facing the genre in Iran.
