Khepra

Symphonic/Atmospheric Death Metal


BIOGRAPHY

Merging the brutality of death metal with the aesthetics of Anatolian folk motifs and  adding countless layers of orchestration to create a unique kind of extreme metal by pushing the limits of sanity with a synthesis of eastern and western hymns. That’s what KHEPRA stands for as a Symphonic/Atmospheric Death Metal band since its formation in 2014.

The band's debut “Cosmology Divine“ was released at the end of 2016 by Naturmacht Records / Germany and critically acclaimed by many critics as one of the best debuts released in 2016.

The album is mixed and mastered by one of the best producers in metal genre, LOGAN MADER  (ex-Machine Head, ex-Soulfly) in Los Angeles; who produced albums for  bands like Gojira, Septicflesh, W.A.S.P., Limp Bizkit, Fear Factory, Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, Devildriver, Five Finger Death Punch and many more.

Since its forming Khepra has played in major festivals in Europe like Kilkim Zaibu, Metal Heads Mission, Tbilisi Open Air, PlusOne Festival, Rockoff Fesitval, Bosphorous Festival in countries such as Ukraine, Hungary, Georgia, Belgium, Lithuania and  has had the experience to share stages with bands like Nile, Gorguts, Vader, Opeth,  Abbath,  Decapitated, Mayhem, ArchGoat, Mgla, Manegarm, Eluveitie, Kalmah, Harakiri for the Sky, Naglfar, Skyforger, Ensiferum, and others.

The band’s second creation “ Anatomy of Sin, “ is planned to be released at the start of early 2025, and this time  PSYCHON (Dinos Prassas) of SEPTICFLESH will be responsible for the production of the album.


As part of the promotion, the band will be releasing two official videos, and Khepra will be taking the band back to International stages like before, and providing the utmost effective show for organizations and listeners.

If you are looking for a performance that will resonate like Septicflesh, Dimmu Borgir, and Fleshgod Apocalypse, supported by a memorable live performance grounded in quality, Khepra will give the right dose in every aspect.

VOICES ABOUT KHEPRA

METAL HAMMER UK
" 2016 is going to be a year of newcomers and Khepra's Debut is finding place in our list of best debut's of 2016 " Cosmology Divine sets the bar high. Such a marvelous creation from Turkish gentlemen.
Stormbringer.at
The quartet from the Bosporus has achieved a masterpiece here and done a great job. Respect, these gentlemen! My shelf will probably not be able to do without this album.
Metal.info
Khepra have created a debut that is pleasing in every respect. The songs on "Cosmology Divine" are never too long, consistent despite the many influences and simply fun. The compositional talent of the three musicians is in no way inferior to the impeccable production, so there is practically nothing to complain about here. Devamını Oku
Stalker-Magazine
I cannot even clearly define what their genre is – instead, associations with Hollenthon’s Domus Mundi, the early Dimmu Borgir, Therion, Powerwolf or even the Czech Black Metal veterans Root and their legendary album “The Book” pop up. And I am only listening to the opener Atra Hasis yet – a track that surely will blow you away. This kind of high quality music is maintained throughout the album Devamını Oku
FolkMetal.NL
what capable musicians and song writers they are! Turkey is not known for their many metal bands, but maybe that’s about to change. If it comes in the form and quality of bands like Khepra, I say: let us have it. It’s the best album I have heard in a while Devamını Oku
Tempelores Magazine
Musically, although this is indeed a death/symphonic metal album with ethnic influences, I wouldn’t strictly categorize it. The album features a great harmony of many genres with the highlight on orchestrations. The orchestrations, which form the essence and the unique sound of the record, make “Cosmology Divine” stand out than the other ‘ethnic/symphonic metal’ albums that I know. In this sense, the album is quite melodic but the darkness and the mystery of this huge puzzle is always there. Devamını Oku
Naturmacht Productions
The debut album of turkish Khepra is a wonderful blend of melodic death metal with black, symphonic and etchnical elements and delivers its very own listening experience. Everything is worked out very professional and with love for detail.
No Clean Singing
Turkish Khepra blend mighty metal with roots in death metal and inspirations from black metal, with a local heritage of folk music from the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. To top it all off, and to really take the listener’s breath away, they then add orchestral elements. Less is more? Fuck that! Devamını Oku

Fleshgod Apocalypse? Dimmu Borgir?, SepticFlesh? Now you have to add one more band to those because Khepra nominated themselves to be one of them with their new record
