Other members of the band include Reza Banaeenia on drums, Ashkan Shahrokh on electric guitar and Kioumars Talebi on bass guitar.

The pieces to be rendered have noticeable features of progressive rock, such as lengthy compositions, made up of shorter parts, intricate lyrics and use of unconventional instruments, wide dynamic ranges and solo renditions for each instrument.
