Iblis Manifestations
An Iranian metal musician in the UK explores the philosophical, esoteric, and practical realities of the extreme music world with its creators.
This is an interview show where host Shayan, an Iranian metal musician, engages in deep, philosophical conversations with figures from the extreme music scene. Episodes delve into everything from the esoteric (ancient aliens, mysticism) and the spiritual (the nature of performance) to the brutally practical (marketing, the hardships of touring). The show is a blend of artist-on-artist dialogue and explorations of the mindset required to survive and thrive in the underground.
“Unlike many band interview shows, it often bypasses standard career retrospectives to focus on abstract, philosophical, and strategic topics, reflecting the host's own interests in discipline, free speech, and mysticism.”
Who hosts this show
The host is Shayan, a musician and fitness coach originally from post-revolution Tehran, Iran, now based in the UK. He is the frontman and guitarist for the black/death metal band TRIVAX, which he founded in Iran where the music is a punishable offense. Shayan uses the podcast to explore discipline, free speech, and life's mysteries through the lens of a rock and extreme metal connoisseur.

What you'll be asked on this show
Shayan often opens with broad, philosophical questions that tap into a guest's core beliefs or strategies, sometimes based on a pre-interview chat. He favors a collaborative, conversational build, actively contributing his own knowledge on topics like ancient history or marketing and using his own metaphors to expand on a guest's point. Rather than rapid-fire questions, he probes abstract concepts, asking guests to articulate the unexplainable aspects of their art or mindset. This creates a peer-to-peer dialogue about the deeper nature of creating extreme music.
Primarily a long-form interview show with occasional solo episodes where the host discusses his personal philosophy. Host Shayan engages guests in a collaborative, philosophical dialogue rather than a rigid Q&A, often sharing his own knowledge and building on their points.
