Golestan (Persian: گلستان‎ Golestȃn "The Flower Garden", "Land of Flowers")

The words that are spoken and sung throughout the album are from a nameless Hafez poem:

"To me a rose-tinted cheek from flower garden of the world is enough;
From this meadow the shade of that flying cypress is enough;

May I and the company of the deceitful folk be far! 
Of all earth's treasures a cup of wine to me is enough;

The palace of paradise for good deeds is bestowed, 
To me, drunken and a beggar, the cloister of Magians is enough;

Sit beside the brook and watch the passage of life, 
To me the image of passage of life to watch is enough;

Look for the cash in this world and the pain, 
If these don't satisfy you, to me the profit and loss is enough;

The darling is with me, why should I desire more? 
The pleasure of discourse with my dear darling is enough;

For God's sake send me not to paradise from your door, 
For in this world the head of your street to me is enough;

Hafiz! it is unfair to complain about the watery flow of fate, 
The nature like water, and moving gazelles to you is enough;"

Glass and concrete are so intertwined with the neural network of their inhabitants that a kind of symbiosis is obtained, reaching parasitism of one above the other. A small person has a choice: to be free or to become a link in this system, having realized this choice, the choice as such ceases to exist.

Dolbania was founded in January 2008 by two friends and a cat - lovers of good heavy music. Then a gloomy Gothic composition was recorded on the poems of I.V. Goethe on an acoustic guitar and synthesizer.
In the first year of her existence, she was in a creative search, with an admixture of depression. We searched for inspiration at abandoned industrial facilities and in listening to a huge amount of music. We fucked for a long time and a year later we finally decided on the style that you can currently hear in our songs.
