Personal information

Born on: 12.07.1985

His name is "Emerna hugh Warner" now and is also known as "Hamid Malekzadeh Asl", his real name. But the name was only "Hamid M.A." until he picked up a nickname for himself from old Persian dictionaries.
First he called himself as "Avinar" in 1999 for seven years. He started to stop dancing with "Michael Jackson" music to make "Black Metal" by computer programs. Tried to make dark sounds like "Beherit" from Finland just like many crazy teenagers in the world.
He recorded rehearsals and some digital noises and waves close to "experimental ambient black metal" then mixed them up with stretched vocals, shouts and screams. He made electrical and programmed "black atmospheric music" in his personal computer by programs and taught himself experimentally and gradually in a same time. He had not enough ability for making money with or without music in "Tehran", the capital for "Iran".
In 2003 he started to collect his programmed and "non-ambient black metal" stuff in a parallel side-project that is called "Shab" which means "the night" in Persian. And these songs were different than what is made in Avinar. However he had keyboards but in 2005 when he bought electric guitars for himself he could make his music more realer and closer to one "standard underground black metal" release with good programmed lines of drums.
In 2005 He recorded his "Funeral Doom" rehearsals in another project called "1000 Funerals" and maybe he was the first guy in "Iranian underground metal scene" those days; who was involved and possessed by his own dark young experience since 1999.
He loved dark arts to make lyrics and he wrote many notes and poems beside his music and made himself too busy with philosophic scraps and protesting results. Out of any school with no real education he tried to represent real experience in making art which is covered in some "Nihilistic atmosphere" by his lifestyle.
Suddenly in 2006 he stopped all his activities and dissolved side-projects such as Shab, Hamid M.z.A. and 1000 Funerals. Then he renamed his first project and also himself from Avinar to "Emerna" for making a real "ambient black metal" music for release through the world. He called his music as "Deep Metal".
He found the "noun-and-graph" absurd word of "Emerna" when he imagined into some dried traces of coffee similar to Persian letters of the word's pronounce. Also he seemed to be a graphist by his low-quality digital arts with thick titles and he had some distorted paintings in "abstract expressionism" style too.
By the new graphical title "Emerna" that he made for himself he could write too many new Persian sonnets about "endless existence", "telepathic love", "mathematic universe", "godless creation" and "the pain of absence" all together with English translations beside his new attack in music since 2006 until 2012.
And things truly changed. He could compose and recorded his best partitures under the name Emerna. But unfortunately his life was just like before as always. The lack of support and audience in Iran was what he stated too many times in interviews and websites. Then due to his poverty in a hard situation of life he couldn't work anymore in music since 2012.
His artistic life seems to be stopped caused by Nihilism as he believes himself. With no association he waited and tried to change things around but he failed. However he protected his works and defended from his "experimental Nihil investigates" in internet but truly had not any official source and address for supporting his arts and creation.
Therefore in 2016 he noticed the online world by stopping making music and he changed the name of project from Emerna to "Emerna Warner" then kept it silent and on hold. He changed letters in Emerna and generated another new name from absurd one to put together beside themselves and finally called his new self as "Emerna hugh Warner".
Later when he was 30 years old he believed is totally possessed by "Marilyn Manson" conception in music, philosophy, modern arts and love-style. Then for years he remained silent artistically and drowned himself deeply in thoughts like "Nihilism", "Quantum", "Philosophy", "Anarchy", "Religion" and "Lust" in new desperate times.
Now in 2021, however he has no new piece of art for years but he believes he's trying to collect new literary shouts about whole human universe in forms of fictional contemporary stories and he knows himself as an "author" these days.
