The Sarcophagus (Turkey)


 

The Sarcophagus (Turkey)

The Sarcophagus - Beyond This World's Illusion (2017) The Sarcophagus is a Black Metal band from Turkey. But if you think it full with traditional oriental stuff you have totally mistaken. “Beyond This World's Illusion” shows a traditional Black Metal like NAGLFAR or DARK FUNERAL but it sounds very convincing. Release has a dark mystic atmosphere which made by good guitar work. Tracks are very variable with unexpected changing of rhythm and full with excellent melodies. Also there are some acoustic guitar parts sounding like calm before the storm. And the proper word to describe the vocal is “poisonous” and it combines with music very good. So “Beyond This World's Illusion” is a very powerful work which I recommend to all fans of Black Metal who likes melodic stuff.
