This is a prime example of why it is a good idea to listen to a band's debut album first. Kara Ihlas holds 40 minutes of not particularly innovative but nonetheless good, galopping black metal - but compared to the cascading, mind-numbing and furious brutality of its successors, it falls short. The good thing is: an artist should always be measured by his own art, and in the case of Kerem Yilmaz, the progression in his songwriting skill is undeniable and downright soaring. Yaşasın Imha Tarikat!
Favorite track: III-I: Şafaksız Rüya (Dawnless Dream).
Kirk Gauthier
Vicious. Brutal. Unrelenting. This album won’t just rearrange your face, it’ll realign your entire body.
Favorite track: I-II: Akan Sır (The flowing Wisdom).
Pagus STRÖM
Hard to choose a track cause the whole record is like an invocation
A ritual
So you wouldn't miss a step or favour one above the rest?
Excellent record.

Pure Intensität, kaum zu übertreffen heutzutage. Das Album hat mich vom ersten Moment an komplett gepackt und bis heute nicht losgelassen. Und das wird es wohl auch nie wieder tun!
Favorite track: I-I: Çökmüş Mühür (The broken Seal).

THE PILLARS HAVE BEEN SET
BEYOND CELESTE RESIDES THE KING OF A THOUSAND STARS
IN ENDLESS LESS, FULLEST ALL
DWELLING IN PARAMASS
BORN BEFORE ALPHA, OMEGA FOREVER
SENSELESS XENOPOTENCE OF DOMINANCE
CHAINED BY BLOOD AND FLESH
I PERCEIVE MY GROWTH TO NONE
SCARRED IS MY EYE, BLIND MY URGE
AND HOMELESS MY MIND
BATHED IN ACID SALIVA LIES THE TREACHERY OF AETHER
SPIT BY THE SNAKE DEVOURING HIS SON
THE SIGN OF WISDOM, AN IMPULSIVE PASSIONS GLOW
BREAK ALL SIGILS, LET ARCANUM FLOW!
REVEALING THE PATH
AND OUT OF BOREDOM THE DESCENT SON WAS SCULPTED
HERALDING WAR ON THE FUNDAMENTS OF TRUE NORTH
I CALL FAITHFUL UPON RATIO FOR I CANT FATHOM
WHY BETWEEN ALL THE SHADES OF THIS UNIVERSE WE BELONG TO GOD
BURNING DESTINY ON TEARING STRINGS
MIRAGES TURN BRITTLE AND FADE
OPEN YOUR CORE AND DETONATE!
IN THE FACE OF DECEASE RETRO
BECOMES WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
AND YET TO ENACT IS THE DAY OF MY BIRTH
TIMELESS IS THE SHELTER OF DEATH, ALPHA OF LIFE
FOR WHOM THE HEARTS LONG, SO PLAIN, FULFILLING AND KEEN
LIGHT MADE US ALL ECSTATIC!
BRINGING THE FEVER OF GLUTTONY AND BREEDING
SPOILING THE SHELL AND RIPING THE CORE
IN IGNORANCE WE DENY
THAT FORCED BY DRIVE IS OUR PASSION
THAT MORBID IS MAN AND TEMPORARY HIS JOURNEY
DIE HIERARCHIE SCHEINT SURREAL, GEBROCHENE MÄNNER HANDELN STOLZ FÜR PRACHT
GRAUE WEISHEIT VOLL PERVERSION, DAS LICHT TÜNCHT HASS
DEIN VERHÖHNENDES LÄCHELN, SZEPTER IN DER LINKEN HAND
ICH ERBLICKE DEINE AUGEN UND VERSPÜR' VERRAT
SPEIE DEINE SAGE: DER NEMESIS DES MENSCHEN IST GEKLEIDET IN SAMT
NAMUS SOLAR, RUHLAR LEŞ OLUR
NUR ARAYAN ADAM KARANLIK BULUR
YAN DÜNYA ACIMIZA SON ÇÖZÜM
BIKTIM YALANLARINDAN
EACH REACTION ENACTING THE DANCE OF THE UNIVERSE
EACH STAR TURNS TO DUST AND FEEDS THE WOMB
FARTHEST FROM CALCULATED POTENTIALS
OMNICENTRAL IS EACH, IN EACH LIES ALL
GIVING THEMSELVES TO LIVE AND BE BORN AGAIN
AS NONE, AS ALL
DIE THE DEATH LIKE LIGHT TO SOIL
LIVES FADE AND SHELLS TURN WORN
TO A MOTHER HER FLESH ALWAYS SMELLS NEWBORN
THE BIGGEST JOY IS TOO SEE HERS RIPE
FORGED TO RUST AND LEFT TO DIE
TO A FATHER HIS PRIDE IS TO SEE HIS GROW
TO FAREWELL WITH TEARS AND A SMILE
SEEING HIS GROWN, LEFT RIPING TO JOIN
CARVED INTO STONES THERE IS PESTILENCE
CRIPPLED SONS IN SOUL AND SIGHT
THOUGHTS STILL
VISION BLUR
NOT ASKING FOR A CAUSE
THERE IS MIST ON THE ALTAR
FROM BEYOND THE VEILS REACHES A WHISPER
SOFT IS ITS BREATH, WARM THE CHEER
BENEVOLENT EVEN WHEN SINISTER
A FIGURE OF MERCY, ITS JOY SO FIERCE
I CRUSH IT AND BATH IN ITS TEARS
EVERY DROP ON MY SKIN BURNING SO RIGHT
THE GRIEF AND CRIES MAKING ME HIGH
MY AMBITION TURNS BLIND, COMPENSATING THE FACT
NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY I WILL NEVER BE THIS PURE
CHANTS OF FURY AND BLAZING HEARTS
BURNING PASSION, OH GOSPEL OF CHASM
LEND ME YOUR ALL! AND FOLLOW MY WARMTH!
YOUR DEATH WILL BE SWEET AND THE AGONY NULL!
VISIONS OF CLEANSING DEATH
WHISPERS OF ANGELS CALLING TO AHIRET
TRUMPETS HALLING WITH NO SOUND
SHETTERING VESSELS, THE SEALS ARE UNBOUND
REVELATIONS SHARP AS KNIVES
WITH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF A MANMADE GOD
PURITY IN VAIN, FUEL WITH VOID YOUR SOUL
BE ONE WITH THE COSMOS AND BE WITH ALL
BLAZING HEARTS CALLING FOR KARA IHLAS
IN THE END THEY YEARN FOR DEATH
THE WARMTH IS FADING AND THE COLD KICKS IN
DEATH, VOID
TOTAL POWER
BURNING WHITE SOUL AND BLACK SOMA
DECAY ESSENCE OF THE DEVOUT, SIGIL OF DOOM
MIRAGE OF EXTENSION, FALL OF THE END
LET THE UNIVERSE COLLAPSE
NO OMEGA SHALL BE SEEN!
AN EXISTENCE DRIVING ME WILD
AND A SCENT OF IRONY
FOR THERE ARE MYSTERIES YET UNTOLD
YET UNKOWN
UNCHAIN THE DEATHSPREE OF MASS AND SOUL
REGRESS TOWARDS EXTENSION
ETERNITY BEYOND LAWS
FIRE BURNING INSIDE ALL LIFE AND DEATH MADE OF GASOLINE
SCHOLARS OF DEMISE YEARNING
FUSED SHARDS SHIMMERING IN PARADOX
PILLARS CRUMBLE and WHISPERS GROW
SOFT WEEPING, DEEP HOWLS
CULT OF DAWN, CAST THE STONE
SILKED IN BLOOD TO CLEANSE YOUR SOUL
I CRAVE FOR SHOTS OF ECSTASY
GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!
THE FEVER TURNS ARTIFICIAL, IT SERVES IT'S PURPOSE!
BLACK FLAMES BURSTING
LEASH THE BEAST
HEED VOID GRASPING FROM SPHERES OF NULL
FUCK YOUR PARAMETERS!
BEND YOUR BONES AND LET FLOW YOUR ANIMA
GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!
AND THE GRIEF SPROUTS, PROCLAIMING DAJJALIC-UTOPIA
MUTILATION AESTHETICS, RITES OF NAUSEA
PERVERSION OF SIGHT AND SOUND
OH THE IRONY...
about
For the purest thing is chaos itself, the balance of everything. Like a sphere shining in colours beyond sensation.
Kara Ihlas is dedicated to burst the seals of what lies deep within to be found, yet again. Take part in a heroic journey to the I !
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
Powerful, plaintive expression of the fathomless sorrow of our suffering cetaceans and their depthless home, together with the indescribable loveliness of their distant blue-black realm. I feel as much interstellar space here as I do deep ocean, equally crushing and buoying. Dave Aftandilian
Prenez d'un côté l'idée d'un successeur à Alunar, un album déjà très bon à la base qui nous faisait accomplir une odyssée intergalactique jusqu'au néant ; ajoutez maintenant le fait de concevoir ce successeur en parallèle à l'enregistrement de Tchornobog. Vous voilà avec Aurora Borealis, une des sorties les plus imposantes de Markov Soroka ! Un black metal cosmique qui progresse avec fulgurance, si beau qu'il donne des frissons.
Et toujours ce clocher qui sonne, et qui sonne, et qui résonne... Jordan Vauvert
The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2024
