Label: Kestawex Records
Catalog: KWX-AM-25-13
About the Track
“AHURA MAZDA” is a high-energy, vibrant dance track blending modern electronic power with the ancient spirit of Persia. The centerpiece of the track is a narration performed in Old Persian, a language spoken over 2,500 years ago.
This narration reimagines King Xerxes’ inscription near Lake Van, where he declares his divine authority granted by Ahura Mazda, the supreme god in the Zoroastrian pantheon. This release is not just music — it is a sonic resurrection of imperial legacy.

Philosophy of the Song
“Ahuramazda is the greatest of gods… He made me king — king of kings, ruler of many nations.”
By merging this historic proclamation with a cinematic electronic soundscape, the track connects ancient royalty with contemporary energy in a powerful way.
