She Past Away: Belirdi Gece Ltd Clr

LP Record There are few albums that can be called pivotal moments in dark music over the last decade, and one of them is She Past Away's 2012 album Belirdi Gece (which translates as "the night has appeared"). You could say that this LP, a monumental part of the scene's landscape, defined the darkwave genre in 2010. The album – created by Volkan Caner, Idris Akbulut, and Doruk Öztürkcan from Bursa, Turkey – emerged out of nowhere and slowly crept up on unsuspecting fans of the genre. She Past Away immediately felt like a reincarnation of the Sisters of Mercy, with their biting drum machine driving Caner's roaring vocals, sung in Turkish.
