In the summer of 2005 , after locating a proper place , the band’s members started practicing and preparing their demo album (first) and then official album (2’nd). After making Mordab’s 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 band’s activity was stagnant due to a lot of problems .

In the summer of 2006 , with joining of “Arash Eivani”  (creator of the band “necrophilia” 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.

At the beginning of 2008 , Mordab was prosperous with the 2’nd 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 o’ our dude which successfully covered our 1’st demo’s 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 fan’s appreciation and like our 2006 demo , that Hell encircled one psychotic and depressive song intrinsically .
After our second album’s birth , Mordab made up its mind to play and rehearse the songs lively ,
so Arash Moghadam joined us as a drummer for the likely n’ 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 bands’ 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 o’ 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 manager’s –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 n’ 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 .
