Biography
Chainwind Ritual
Chainwind Ritual originated from Istanbul/Kadikoy in late 2021 and was formed by childhood friends Kuzey Alemdar (vocal/rhythm) and Haluk Arda Aslan (drums) with the vision to find and create a new sound. Not wanting to limit themselves to a single genre, they experimented with different ones like sludge, groove and doom to find a combination of sounds that resonated with them the most. Arda Tosun (guitar) and Can Osmanağaoğlu (bass) later joined the band.
Chainwind Ritual is a band that does not take into account any outside expectation of their music, and aspires to follow the ambition and excitement that is invoked in them through creating it, with no anticipation of any financial gain as they see their music no more than a heritage of their desire to create something original. They are not hesitant to take inspiration from each members unique tastes in music and fuse them into their sound accordingly. Their debut album "Untitled I" revolves around themes like depression, oppression, addiction, paranoia, dread, suicide, unconformity, isolation and misanthropy which they witness and experience in their daily lives. They have gone through a long and intense recording/mix period for their debut album to perfect their sound, refusing to cut corners and persistently working towards their musical visions.
