I have no idea what being a black metal band in Turkey is like, but if you believe news I suspect it must be increasingly difficult. Two piece Zifir though (Onur Onok and Nursuz respectively) have been doing this for… Continue Reading →
The band name and album title give no doubt that this is a blackened death death work. The band in question is from Turkey and this is their first full album release following an EP “Perversion Feeds Our Force” in… Continue Reading →
This Turkish death metal band features members of Burial Invocation and Decaying Purity and play a dirty form of death metal akin to Incantation, Funerus and Funebrarum. At times things verge into blackened styles with some of the haunting riffs… Continue Reading →

“Turkish Black Metal” is what’s advertised on the sleeve of my copy of this album. “Manevi” is the fifth album by this band from Istanbul. “Manevi” translates as “spiritual” or “ghostly” and I’d say it’s the atmospheric sections which are… Continue Reading →
I’ve always had a lot of musical joy from split albums, I very rarely feel disappointed with them. In a way I guess it’s the fact you’re getting two EPs for the price of one, and especially when filled with… Continue Reading →
Yes indeed looking at those random meaningless words you are hardly expected to have a clue what this is all about. What we have though is a one man black metal project helmed by Emil Togrul from Turkey, whom we… Continue Reading →
