In a rainy afternoon, when Hamed and Masih were playing a tune together, they succeeded at making their first track after a few hours.
At the same time and in a random manner, they noticed the presence of a large circle of crows in the rainy sky.
According to the band members, the loss of a friend was an excuse to understand the main concept of the songs, and that feeling is a sense of distance and separation that all the people may have experienced within themselves.
“It was 2016 Chaharshanbe Suri that we started composing instead of celebrating, and the result was the track of “Trust the Universe”.
The track “Please be well, Is it too late?” was played and denominated under the influence of the song “Horses in the Sky” composed by the Canadian band “Thee Silver Mt.
This track was anonymous at the beginning and the album was supposed to be called “Trust the Universe”.
The experience they gained in 12 hours and what happened to the Crows led to the formation of the main story of the second album.
“Little girl and lost blossom” is the story of one of those creatures in part of that land called the “Second Death”, and the expression of her grief and sadness.
The track “... (For a Film)” tells the story of the moment when the band is saying goodbye to the little girl in their minds and leaves the land of Second Death.
This track was collected in the very first year by Morego Dimma under the label “Unexplored sounds group”, and was released under the English label “Cold Spring” in the form of the album “Visions of Darkness (Iranian Contemporary Music)”.

[4] The Crows decided to go on the stage for the first time in 2017, sharing their feeling through live music with their audience.
Twenty-four days later, the second performance of the Crows, as well as the first and largest official post-rock concert in Iran, took place in Azadi Tower Hall.
In the meantime, they staged a concert in Shiraz in two sequences, at the “Kian black box artistic and cultural complex”.
In the same year, as a guest band, they were invited to participate in the festival opening ceremony and set off on stage.
The Crows In The Rain band now has reached a point where they acknowledged that they can express what has been engraved in their minds since the beginning in the form of music.
The important thing about the track is that the band shows its internal grief and sorrow in a different atmosphere.
“I will build the future on the past of the memories” was the last studio track of the album to be created.
The reason for the track denomination was that the band members reached a consensus to leave the past with all its sadness and grief behind and start to build up the future from its ashes.
The Crows In The Rain band had a performance in two sequences in Shiraz in August 2018, at the “Kian black box artistic and cultural complex”, where they played some tracks from the album of the “Ashes of the past” as well as the fourth album.
Two years prior to the album's release, the earlier lines of the track “This is our cry” had been written.
According to the band members, when the track was made, we felt that the album was finished and had completed its mission.
The signs of this concept can be observed from the second single track called “Dreaming” in the first year of band formation to the last album.
The blend of these two tastes has been the basis for the formation of the band’s style at the beginning of their work.
In the fourth album, the maximum coordination can be observed among the members of the band, resulting in the combination of the styles of the last three albums and the band’s movement towards reaching the ideal style they opted for.
[9] In April 2019, Ashes of the past were placed on the list "Best Album of 2018", chosen by Reddit Channel.
[10] In June 2019, Crows in the Rain were placed on the list "The Best Post-rock Albums and Eps of the 21st Century", #67.
