Mezarkabul (also known as Pentagram in Turkey) is a Turkish metal band formed by Hakan Utangaç and Cenk Ünnü.
Turkey was meeting metal music and by their crazy emotions this chaoting action happened.Their first songs were released in 1990 on the self-titled Pentagram album.
In 1992, a second guitarist Demir Demirkan joined the band, as well as a new lead singer, Bartu Toptas, helping Hakan to concentrate on his guitar duties.
In 1995, vocalist Murat İlkan replaced Ogün, and they started working on their next album, Anatolia, which was released in Turkey in 1997.
In "1,000 in the Eastland" the lyrics stress that "thousands of people are dying in the East, all ignored by the West, where one death becomes a tragedy", at the same time emphasizing that "fighting with hatred feeds the rich men".
However, due to an American doom metal band called Pentagram, they go by the name "Mezarkabul" for international releases.
In 2017, past members Demir Demirkan, Ogün Sanlısoy and Murat İlkan rejoined the band for their 30th anniversary release "Akustik"[3] where Turkish musician Şebnem Ferah features as well.
The band's work has inspired all forms of rock music and helped it to gain popularity in Turkey.
Early examples of his work as a contributing artist includes Şebnem Ferah's debut album titled Kadın which was a success in Turkey.
Another example, Mor ve Ötesi's groundbreaking album Dünya Yalan Söylüyor was produced by Gözübüyük.
