Sovak is an Istanbul based productive and progressive trio made of Emre Kula, Onur Başkurt and Kerem Tüzün.

Emre and Onur have been playing music together for fairly 15 years, are founding members of bands such as Kes and Helak, and recently Kerem joined them who we know from bands like Kurban and Nekropsi.

They continue to search and perform music with a leaning towards heavy music, but without any boundaries.

 

Emre Kula: Guitar

Onur Baskurt : Drums

Kerem Tuzun: Bass

This certainly sounds like instrumental progressive metal to my ears, but prog metal isn't a sub genre I know an awful lot about, so that's no guarantee that the band would be accepted here.

The Prog Metal team might want slightly more from you in the way of a biography before taking the suggestion forward for evaluation though.



I found that photo of Sovak as a trio on their Instagram.

Edit: Awesome Prog link: https://awesomeprog.com/artists/25504.

The band Helak might be worthy of further consideration too. According to their Bandcamp, they interpret sludge and post metal elements with an experimental approach. I added Helak to Awesome Prog anyway. Embarrassed

Sovak, consisting of Emre Kula on guitar, Onur Başkurt on drums and Kerem Tüzün on bass, released their self-titled debut album in February 2024 after two singles “Terra” and “Of”. The album took its place among the rare examples of instrumental prog metal in Turkey. Sovak has a musical approach that freely uses elements of eastern and western music within the tradition of progressive hard music. The band members, who you may recognize from bands such as Kes, Kurban and Helak, enrich their songs with improvisations in concerts.

^ Thanks for that. I've now forwarded the suggestion to the Prog Metal team so that an evaluation can be started.
