Nowy album SABHANKRA w maju

 

Today, Saturnal Records announces May 21st as the international release date for Sabhankra's highly anticipated fifth album, Death to Traitors, on CD format.

Hailing from Turkey, Sabhankra was formed in 2001 as Savaş Sungur’s personal project under the name of Constantinopolis. The project soon became regionally known for its epic musical work and its combination of folk, power, and death metal styles. Constantinopolis released its first demo, The Sudden Death, in 2002, followed by a 70-minute debut album, For the Empire, in 2003 and acquired underground vogue.

The project became a band and appeared onstage starting in 2004. Following its second stage performance, the band took the name of Sabhankra and performed at various venues throughout Turkey. Sabhankra released their debut album, Powercraft, in 2006, blending folk melodies of different cultures and winning local and international recognition. In 2006, the band released a concert DVD of its album premiere; the concert consisted of the bands Sabhankra, Necrophagist, Orphaned Land, and Samael. Between 2006-2008, the band was occupied with performances and album recordings.

Encompassing six songs in a searingly compact 36 minutes, Death to Traitors is undeniably Sabhankra's most extreme work to date. But for all its aggression, atmosphere also takes equal importance, establishing a mysticism that's otherworldly and uniquely Sabhankra. Not for nothing, then, is the album titled Death to Traitors: this is a swift 'n' decisive strike upon unbelievers, and should once and for all establish Sabhankra on an international scale. If ripp(l)ing melodic black metal played with passion and precision is your vice, then Sabhankra have your fix with Death to Traitors!
