Decimation | pt

Decimation was founded in Ankara in 1999. In 2004, demo "Helpless Souls" was released and it received many positive reviews from fanzines & webzines worldwide. The line-up of Helpless Souls was: Emre ÜREN and Erkin ÖZTÜRK - Guitars, Mustafa KARAKUŞ - Vocals, Mert TARTAÇ - Bass and Semih ÖRNEK - Drums.

Around autumn 2006, the band recorded their debut album entitled "Entering the Celestial Ruins" at Midas'ın Kulaklığı Studios in Ankara with Erkan TATOĞLU (Suicide (tur)). The demo members Mustafa and Semih replaced with Volkan CEYHAN (Vox) and Kaya Özgen YALÇIN (Drums) in the album. With the artwork made by Phlegeton (Wormed), "Entering the Celestial Ruins" was released by İstanbul based label Hammer Music in early 2007 and it captured the attention of its audience.

Decimation worked hard on their new songs in 2008 and as a result, a promo song "Nocturnal Chaos" was recorded and shared with listeners on the internet in July'08.

The band was looking for a new label since the expiration of the contract with Hammer Music. When a brand new song titled "Peripheral Profligacy of Transcendental Lower World" from highly anticipated upcoming album "Anthems of an Empyreal Dominion" (which mastered at Imperial Mastering Studio in the U.S.A. by Colin DAVIS) unleashed in early 2010, it aroused interest at the U.S.A. based label Comatose Music and the band signed a deal for the release of the new album. The album included re-recorded versions of "Entering the Celestial Ruins" from 2007 full-length and 2008 Promo "Nocturnal Chaos". Also, cover artwork for this new album is done by mighty Japanese artist Toshihiro Egawa and booklet/layout design is done by Turkish artist Ozan Yıldırım. "Anthems of an Empyreal Dominion" released on August 17th, 2010 and can be ordered through Comatose Music at comatosemusic.com.

Currently, the band is working on new stuff for 3rd album, planned to be released in 2014. .
