Anzeria - Holy Defy (2021)

Symphonic Metal act Anzeria was formed by vocalist Damla Kayıhan in early 2009 in Istanbul-Turkey. Known for both their original songs like “Dibace” and some very unique covers like “Only Time Knows” from Prince of Persia, the band have built a healthy reputation with performances at Festivals and gigs as well as the equivalent of Bloodstock’s Metal To The Masses competition in their homeland. Taking a break in 2014, they reformed in 2020 with unfinished business on their minds and recorded new album “Holy Defy“. Their return sees them continue to work with its three root members in female vocalist Damla Kayıhan, guitarist Çağrı Çarhacıoğlu and guitarist and male vocalist Mehmet Erkut Atay, while for this new record session musicians Mert Gezgin (drums), Esra Gezgin (keyboards) and Koray Onur Alarslan (orchestrations) lend a hand.
