....Aaaarrghh.... - 2004 - Ruhlar Fisildiyor

Here we have the second demo by this Turkish Black Metal horde, consisting of eight tracks. The band has progressed a bit in the five years since their last demo, I must say. The traces of Beherit are mostly gone, the music is faster and reminds me of Von and Dark Funeral, with some Death Metal in it.

The vocals remind me of Nocturno Culto of Darkthrone and Graav of Armagedda, around Panzerfaust and The Final War Approaching respectively, but they are more in the back of the mix here, than on their previous effort.

The soundquality has been improved since the previous release, which is both good and bad. Personally, I prefer the murkier sound of their first demo, but that's because I thought that gave their music an extra edge. The drums are more towards the front of the mix on this release, which the vocals suffer a bit from.

Standout tracks are "Kara Doda", "Sinsi Karanlyk" and "Ebedi Yalnyzlyk".

....Aaaarrghh.... - 1999 - Demo 1999

Out of Turkey comes this Black Metal horde, and this is their first demo, when they still played under the name Sagansara. What is presented here are five tracks of above par mostly slower to midpaced Black Metal with the occasional blast beats. This reminds me mainly of Beherit's excellent Drawing Down the Moon album, as well as of Behead Christ at times. Really nice, this. A sound of the early '90ies that you rarely hear these days.

The vocals also remind me to a certain extent of Beherit, but also of those by Graav on the first Armagedda album and somewhat of Attila's vocals on Tormentor's Anno Domini. Most excellent!

The soundquality is somewhat towards the murkier side, but not too much. The bass is perhaps a bit blurry at times, but other than that there is nothing to complain about the sound here. There is a really dark atmosphere to this, and I must say I like it.

Standout tracks are "Gecenin Golgesi" and "Fyrtyna Yaklasyyor".
