The result of Turkish duo multi-instrumentalist Ozan Tunc and vocalist Ozan Erkmen. ‘’ Elegy of Fire Dusk’’ is only their second record yet it is an elaborate concept album that revolves around Turkish Mythology and Kaygun, the daughter of the leader of the small Aykora clan, involving gods, evil and good spirits, and the underworld.
Such a large theme requires similar music and thankfully Diabolical Raw delivers this and then some. This is pure unadulterated symphonic black metal that becomes more intense and serpentine as the album progresses. Thirteen tracks over nearly eighty minutes is an indication the depth of storytelling and the music on offer. ‘’ Tilgen’s Fall’’ with its punishing combination of black metal fury and symphonic subtleties. This is so gloriously epic and musically intense that ‘’The Last War with Evil’’ parts I and II hit a creative zenith of darkened zeal and utter musical fury. Ozan Tunc’s command of every instrument is inspiring, the dynamics of ‘’ Face the Judgement’’ combine the extreme with extravagance.

It is a delicate balance of capturing the great keyboard line without diminishing the mayhem underneath and they do this beautifully or should that be barbaric.
The interludes are a brief respite, “Uprising” allows you to draw breath with its classical intonements and sense of rousing movement before hurtling into the militaristic and Mediterranean-flavoured chaos that is ‘’Talking with Gods’’, the whole album is relentless yet melodic, and pure in its approach of sweeping cinematic moments and utter black metal depravity delivered with such vehemence courtesy of the vocals and the raging blast beats.
Elegy of Fire Dusk is such a massive album that you are left lightly numb after its conclusion so large are its themes and its delivery over such a lengthy running time.
