PERSECUTORY have been among the most distinctive acts on the Turkish underground scene for over a decade. Formed in Kadıköy in 2014, the trio blends raw black metal with death and thrash metal influences to create an uncompromising, chaotic sound. Their debut EP, *Perversion Feeds Our Force*, was followed by the albums *Towards the Ultimate Extinction* (2017) and *Summoning the Lawless Legions* (2022), all released via the Polish underground label Godz Ov War Productions. In 2024, the band followed this up with the EP *The Glorious Persecution*.
Joining them on stage is KONATUS, representing a younger generation of Istanbul’s extreme metal scene. Formed in 2021, this death metal band explores themes of chaos, distorted psychology and the extremes between the instinct for survival and death in their songs. Following their debut album *Psikoz* (2024), KONATUS released new material in 2026 with *Et Yığını* and *Anorganik Origami*.
