OKAY GOT A NEW DISCOVERY.
Farzad Golpayegani. They're an instrumental rock/metal band from Iran who incorporates some traditional Middle Eastern instrumentations and influences in their music. Very listenable stuff.
All three of their albums are available for free download, due to the issues of getting their stuff released in Iran.

(P.S. someone should make stepfiles of this stuff)
