Multi-instrumentalist/ composer/filmmaker Emir Toğrul, the mastermind behind YAYLA. recently completed a short film entitled"Integumental Grasp Through The Sigil Of Hate; Immortalizing The Nine Disguises Of Evil In Senility," featuring album track "Integumental Grasp." Experience this dark and brooding piece of minimalist cinema atthis location.
In what will surely be considered a high water mark for Turkish Black Metal,Nihaihayatis a five-track, 51-minute mood-swinging journey book-ended by the chilling beauty of ambient pieces "Integumental Grasp" and "In Senility." In between are three epic cuts of soul searing harshness, hypnotic madness marches, and bleak atmospherics.Nihaihayatwas recorded, mixed and mastered by Cristobal Urbina and Emir Toğrul September-December 2012.
Adding yet another personal element to Toğrul's grand vision, eachNihaihayatCD is handmade; Emir sprays the discs, cuts and inserts the prints for the jewel case and jacket, and pretty much makes the whole thing from scratch. Unsurprisingly, the YAYLA shirts are hand-painted by Toğrul. Direct from the hand of the creator himself, there is no limit to the number ofNihaihayatiCDs, at least as long as the man is alive. Toğrul is also co-owner of Merdumgiriz
"Certainly a nice record to accompany cold, lonely nights."- Heavy Metal Tribune

So if you're looking for an album that differentiates the styles of black metal, you'll love this right away."
