MI KUBBESI

NEKROPSI (a medical term which means an operation like autopsy) was and still is a band of a genre of its own. (well at least here in turkey) Born in early years long before the release of their first and last legal album "Mi Kubbesi" (this means "E Dome" in english) NEKROPSI started out as a thrash band. Proving the first two reviews written for this band, the guitarists still carried on their riff writing manners in to this album. The band released an underground thrash album which is almost impossible to find out in the market but the collections of old-time rockers around.

I consider myself one of the lucky ones here who have seen NEKROPSI live, at a concert at my university (and their university, too) festival. The gig was out for a roughly 50-70 people, who knew the songs note for note. Their energy, imrovisation and techniques had quickly drawn us out of our minds and into another dimension. The only lyrics you could hear (or read) on the album are some "sounds" (or screams) on "Son" (The End).

Nekropsi created their unique sound, leaving a good memory in Turkish rock music. Young kids around, who fancy music of the ones like Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Pickpocket (TR), Manga (TR) will find this music a bit too slow for themselves :) but who cares for that? We were happy in those days..
