Back in 1999 , The acquinance and relationship between Mohamad Tasooji and Soheil Zarrin Kelk was the Begining of Explode's birth . Soheil and Mohamad Found out that they've got same musical taste and the influences that made them begin to play Guitar are the same. Both of them loved Heavy/Thrash Metal music and  playing in a metal band was their only dream. So they've started to play together and first jamming sessions have began with easy Metallica and Nirvana tunes. An electric guitar and an old Nylon String Acoustic Guitar was all the equipment that they've got those days , but without any interruption or pause they've continued to jam and practice on tunes.

after a while, as their progress and experience were increased , Mohamad bought his first electric guitar, in addition to improvement in equipments , a new member joined the band as a Bass player. Farhad Qara'khani , after his joining , the trio started to practice more and jam on more complex songs , old school Thrash metal was the main influence to all of them and therefore all the shit that they were playing were in this genre. The band's name was suggested by the newest member of the band,  Farhad , before that they've offered other names but in the end their choice was Explode .

working on the harder and more complex songs , playing the old school tunes like Iron Maiden - Black Sabbath - Old Metallica and various bands in this genres increased their ability and knowledge about music, playing their instruments  and theories.

With these advances , they decided to write their original music and the result of this attempt was Explode's first song , Soheil's first original riffs with some Hard Rock theme , and some mid-tempo Verse riffs by him and a dual guitar harmony in the outro of the song were the signs of his respect to the great heavy metal band : Iron Maiden  Mohamad have wrote the lyrics in english and they named the song : "Drown"
For some months "Drown" was their only original song and they've added it to their setlist , as well as other  Cover  songs. In each   jamming   they've shared their new

ideas and riffs and some of them are still as demo or incomplete shape . even now they've varius ideas and demo-type riffs / songs.

Farhad's Departure - Composing 2nd Song
Awhile after completing the first song - Farhad's taste in music  changed , and he became more and more motiveless . and finally he announced that he wants to leave the band. Departure of him made the band as   only two band-mates , without bass and drums. This line-up remained about a month , between August and September , and then the new bassist Hesam Afshar joined the band and jammings returned to normal situation. This time Mohamad brought his new ideas to the bandmates and after a while his song - named Holy Saviour added to playlist , this song got more heavy riffs and more melower intro . again mohamad wrote the lyrics and as said , named the song himself.

Changing Direction in Songs -  Death Jungle Whole 2003 year , The band's jamming lived on and they were working on more complex Songs - Old Megadeth Albums , Death , Dream Theater , Slayer are the bands that give them the most influence , however the respect to old classic bands like Iron Maiden , Black Sabbath , Metallica remains the same and they cover their songs as well too . in the last year Mohamad wrote Explode's third Original Song , more Heavy riffs , Again a Mellow intro and persian Lyrics for the first time . a new experience in writing the songs and matching them with lyrics...the song called "Jangal e Marg" (Means Death Jungle)

Reza Tasooji on Drums : Line-up Completed ! The close and friendly relationship between Hesam, Soheil and Mohamad was one of the reasons that made them a hard choice to find a 4th member (Drummer).after jamming with bunch of Drummers they've found out that none of them are capable of being a proper member for the band's taste! So finally in the Summer of 2003 Reza Tasooji (Mohamad's Borhter) joined the band and the long wait ended !  He's a talented Drummer and always on his toes for the ride! Now : Hesam Reza Soheil Mohamad Current Status : Recording ! The band spent the whole 2003 on writing new materials for their long-awaited demo-tape!  Currently the writings for the demo tape is done and they have seven tracks for this demo tape. Some of the tracks are 2 years old and some of them are brand-new . Soheil's respect For Dream Theater's music and john petrucci's guitar playing influences leads him to write one of the songs on a 7 String guitar. and 6 other songs are arranged for 6-strings! most of the song has Persian Lyrics. and the Final statement from the band :  we know that it's a long way to go to be a perfect band , But it's all about fun and joy of Rock Music that lives on within us.
