Chainwind Ritual

Chainwind Ritual originated from Istanbul/Kadikoy in late 2021 and was formed by childhood friends Kuzey Alemdar (vocal/rhythm guitar) and Haluk Arda Aslan (drums) with the vision to find and create a new sound. They experimented with different genres like sludge, groove and doom to find a combination of sounds that resonated with them the most. Arda Tosun joined the band a few months later as the lead guitarist, and the three composed Chainwind Ritual, Into the Trees and III which shaped the sound of the band and the upcoming album. With the participation of Can Osmanağaoğlu (bass) in early 2022 as the final member, they proceeded to work on the rest of their debut album.

CWR doesn't have any outside expectations of their music, and aspires to follow the ambition and excitement that is invoked in them through creating it, with no anticipation of a financial gain as they see their music no more than a heritage of their desire to create something original. They are not hesitant to take inspiration from each member's unique taste in music and fuse them into their sound accordingly. Their debut album "Untitled I" revolves around themes like depression, oppression, addiction, paranoia, discomfort, isolation and misanthropy which they witness and experience in their daily lives. They have gone through a long and intense recording/mix period for their debut album to perfect their sound, refusing to cut corners and persistently working towards their musical visions.
