The band released their second album All in Blood with You in September 2007,[9] which critically was met by some positive feedback.[10][11][12] The album was re-mastered and available for free download in 2010.[13][14]

In March 2010 Zirzamin released their third album Awkward Diary.[15] Classic Rock Magazine described it:

Imagine Muse and Tool getting all cozy around Iced Earth and you’ve got the drift here. The musicianship is accomplished, the songs concise and focused, and the band are clearly battling against the Islamic odds to be heard.[16]

Influence

Ahoora covered a variety of bands which provided great influencer to their sound. These bands included Black Sabbath, Iron Maden, Iced Earth.
