In 2001 , Ali Esfahani, Babi R & Mazdak S , started their cooperation in music band with genre of metal. the band was named "Mordab". "Babi" and "Mazdak" were playing guitar and Ali was vocals and sound engineer and mixer .In 2002 , they wrote and recorded an album, which one oí the songs was submitted in ìTehran Avenue ës website for competition , but the album wasnít registered and published, so Mordab's activity was halted , due to Mazdakís separation from the band and Babiís cooperation with another band , but Ali continued his playing electric guitar hence .

After 2 years Vahid Esfahani & Arya Arjmandi decided to assist in a metal band, based on negotiation with Ali, and then with the approval of all, starting Mordabís activity was confirmed. Vahid was a bass guitar player and Arya , as an electric guitar player, and started workiní in their own position . After a while, Pedram joined the band as a drummer and in the winter of 2004, Mordab restarted its work .In the summer of 2005 , after locating a proper place , the bandís members started practicing and preparing their demo album (first) and then official album (2nd).

After making Mordabís official website , 2 songs were written and recorded as a demo , which were presented for downloading in the form of industrial ( no vocals).In march of 2006 , Arya separated from Mordab and the bandís activity was stagnant due to a lot of problems .In the summer of 2006 , with joining of Arash Eivani (creator of the band ìnecrophilia since 1997) to the band as a lyric man and vocals & back rhythm guitar player , Mordab is passing its own path more professionally and seriously.

In the fall of 2006 , Arash, Ali& Vahid have achieved on creating their 1íst demo album called : In to the Mordab , Submitted on the official site of MORDAB which contained 5 songs for downloading . MORDABís 1íst demo album did stimulate many peopleís applaud ! and was d.l.ed from everywhere , all around the world .

In the first days of 2007 , Pedix abandoned the band due to private problems and became the most significant reason of not presenting live concert . meanwhile , one of demoeís song was remastered and remixed .At the beginning of 2008 , Mordab was prosperous with the 2índ album - Darker Than Grave which proved our music to be more professional and authentic . The album was recorded in an equipped studio ( specialized to metal music ) belonged to one oí our dude which successfully covered our 1íst demoís weak points in terms of sound quality and etc.

Darker Than Grave consisted of 6 songs in the genre of Progressive Death Metal , absorbing the energies of our fanís appreciation and like our 2006 demo , that Hell encircled one psychotic and depressive song intrinsically .

After our second albumís birth , Mordab made up its mind to play and rehearse the songs lively, so Arash Moghadam joined us as a drummer for the likely ní forthcoming live concerts , and we started practicing in the studio to feel the increment and progress of our adroitness ...

As we were passing the last days of December , Mordab and two Iranian metal bands were invited to Metal Front Festival which was an annual festival for metal bandsí live concert , taking place in Republic of Armenia . The exact date was on December 26 and 25 , 2008 .

More than 13 divergent bands from miscellaneous european countries such as the Netherlands , Russia and Republic of Armenia were invited to the aforesaid festival , and it was Melechesh at the top oí the list which was dazzling the eyes . That concert was indeed our first live , and in fact our first experience which we accomplished very well and acceptable . Mordab was the second band (after Melechesh) according to the votes & reports , and the festival managerís Aramazd- declaration .

Arash Moghadam was not able to accompany us in Metal Front Festival due to an accident , so Koryun Boobikian gave us his almighty hand as the best drummer of Armenia . Again ní again we long to gift our purest acknowledgement to this buddy.

In 2009 , Mordab decided to create the third album more professionally , and Shahin Jebelli joined us as a permanent drummer . Our forthcoming album (third album) will be published with a label and a company and sponsor will be definitely supporting us .
