Pitch Black Process is a Turkish Melodic Black and Death Metal band that you might recognize under their previous name, Affliction. Their latest track, “Buselik Makamına” is an intriguing departure from their usual thumping bass and electrifying riffs. With an almost haunting opening, this song fuses melodic death metal with middle eastern influences and captivating, clean vocals. and a hint of synth without it being overpowering. Although this isn’t the heaviest thing in the world, it gives the listener a glimpse into the band’s roots while still staying true to their musical genre and is, frankly, quite beautiful.
Here’s what the band states about the new single:
“Hello everyone, First of all, although we thought about postponing the release of our new song due to the disastrous incident in which we also have friends and acquaintances who lost their lives and homes, that happened 10 days ago; we decided to go ahead as planned, for the reason that art is the product of the human being’s strivings of making sense of life and existing.
However hard it is to prepare this announcement which we’ve thought to make to give information before the release of our new song on Wednesday; we would like to say a few things about the song and the EP, which includes that song, that we put a lot of effort into, the publication process of which is an “adventure” in itself and which is very precious to us, because of this process and effort.
The song you’re about to listen to is one of three songs waiting for more than five years to meet you which we wanted to put on the “Derin” album, but couldn’t. Since we think that these three songs deserve to be shared with you, we’ve added “Zahid Bizi Tan Eyleme” alongside these three songs and returned to Sweden to record the “SIR” EP.
We already released “Zahid Bizi Tan Eyleme” from “SIR” as a single in March 2019. However, after that, since the conditions we expected were not met, we didn’t deliver the rest of the EP to you.
In addition to this situation, it took us a very long while to solve the puzzle that emerged later in the story, which will definitely be told in the future, of the song that we prepared the video for in May 2019. The adventure, which lasted almost 2.5 years in total, finally resulted in a happy ending last month.
There are some names who have had an impact with their contribution and effort to get to where we are now and we should thank:
-First of these is our new “partner in crime” Rakun Müzik. The fact that our warm relationship with the founders of Rakun Müzik has evolved into a partnership lately increases our happiness at this stage.
-Dear Celil Nalçakan and Sitare Akbaş, who put their energies and efforts into the video by throwing in outstanding performances;
-Our director, Ender Mıhlar who once again created miracles and adopted this work as his own after “Zahid Bizi Tan Eyleme” video in the new video you’ll be watching;
-Likewise, Berkan Aşkın who has done an excellent job in cutting and editing in both videos;
-Graphic, animation, video, photo acrobat Mehmet Torni, who has always come to our aid whenever we ran into trouble;
We send our thanks and love to you all!
-However, there are two names that we should thank specifically for this song; the “story” couldn’t have begun without one of them, and the “puzzle” couldn’t have been solved without the other: Huge love and thanks to Ateş İlyas Başsoy and Ahmet San!
-Lastly, our dear pals, friends and followers, who turn every “new meeting” into a great excitement and enthusiasm; our biggest thanks is to you!!!”
