Although this metal band calls itself Mezarkabul in its native city of Bursa, Türkiye, its choice to release its music abroad under the name Pentagram was cunning. Music fans searching for the American doom-metal pioneers also named Pentagram might stumble onto this band and decide it was a happy accident. More garage-metal than doom, Popcular Disari shows a band that can command an incredible performance in a live setting. After getting the crowd pumped with a pre-recorded operatic intro, Demir Demirkan and Hakan Utangaç detonate explosive guitar-shredding over a propulsive rhythm section. Murat İlkan comes in singing “Behind the Veil,” sounding like a young Rob Halford. This segues into “Welcome to the End,” a faster-paced piece of driving metal tinged with distorted grunge flourishes, reflecting the album’s late-'90s release. Pentagram delves into Sabbath-esque sludge with the politically charged “No One Wins the Fight” before ripping into a towering, ferocious cover of Slayer’s “Black Magic” that gets the crowd riled up into a ravenous frenzy.
