One of the new mutants in the evolution of metal music in the world, illet… A modern sound fed by the influence of new genres like NWOAHM, metalcore and numetal; merged clean and aggressive vocals; complex riffs, crushing drums and electronic flavor…
The band was formed by Ozgur Monkul and Kudret Diplen in 2004. The first show ever was made in Kadikoy Anatolian High School.
Starting with the covers of bands like Slipknot and Mudvayne along with their own songs, illet became an attractive high performance image in Turkish metal music arena. In the summer of 2007, they released the demo entitled “Kucuk Kiz” and shot a video directed by Deniz Cem Onduygu. “Aksak” and “Gunahkar” were added to the list, for the EP named “Kucuk Kiz”.
In 2009, they added two more EPs titled as 2009, cilt 1/2 and 2009 cilt 2/2. This 2009 duo included 4 songs named “Benim Ruyam”, “Cevrimhici”, “Neler Neler” and “O’na”.
During the following years the band performed in various venues and festivals that let metal music in, in Istanbul, Eskisehir, Bursa, Izmir, Balikesir and Canakkale.
illet started the recording of their debut album, The Pattern of Life, in December 2010 with producer Sertac Kaki.
