It's a riff-based, midtempo piece that introduces Ergen's vocal style, which consists of juxtaposing a raspy delivery with a cleaner, more powerful attack.

Finally, invocalist Murat Ilkan left the band citing health reasons and also a wish to focus on a solo career. The band continued to refine their style heard on Anatoliaemphasizing more powerful hooks in the choruses while retaining their doomy side that would please fans of bands like Solitude Aeturnus and Candlemass as well as Dio-era Sabbath due to the awesome riffing.
MMXII is an effort worth hearing, but it is not quite the album fans had been anticipating for the last 10 years and certainly not on par with the Ilkan-era albums.
Gecmisin Yuku
The other song that needs special mention is "Apokalips. In many ways, this album is a step down from its two predecessors, and while most people like to attribute gecmixin to the new singer, the truth is the songs are not as strong as the band's earlier work.
There is a stylistic change that anyone who has heard their back catalog will notice. He is a very different singer from Ilkan, and the stripped down, more direct approach taken in the songwriting suits him very well. To begin with, the album lacks character; the songs are way out there.
The album remains a landmark in the Turkish metal scene, which is in no gecmisinn part due to the amazing performance of vocalist Murat Ilkan, by far Turkey's greatest metal voice. The chorus is pentabram Pentagram, and the riffing is amazing. It's a song that starts slowly and keeps building on till the anthemic chorus: Finally, "Dogmadan Once" "Before Being Born" is a dynamic piece where the focus is on the constantly changing tempos between the verses and choruses.
To this day, this album is criminally underrated because the few people who've heard it all consider it a masterpiece, and rightly so. Every few years, gecmiisin played a gig, but unfortunately, they never put out a follow-up to Unspoken which would solidify their international status.

Unspoken 's sister album Bir followed a pentgram later; it contained songs with Turkish lyrics only and was a domestic release. The production is thick and punchy; the intricately layered vocal harmonies and super-clean guitar sounds have been replaced with more crunch-filled arrangements, due to the direction taken in penfagram writing.

August 7th Reviewer: It is in these songs where Ergen's involvement in the ;entagram is most apparent. Each song has great ideas, but somehow few of them gel together to form a cohesive whole. After Anatoliathe band released Unspoken inin some ways their finest work to date.
The erupting chorus is glorious, and the vocals are arguably his best. Ergen sings with conviction and enunciates perfectly. Some have compared him to the Seattle singers from the early 90s in this sense.
It's a riff-based, midtempo piece that introduces Ergen's vocal style, which consists of juxtaposing a raspy delivery with a cleaner, more powerful attack. There is the heavy metal stuff,and the songs with more modern-sounding arrangements.

The highlights are the ballad-esque "It's Dawn Again," complete with a killer guitar solo speaking of which now that the band has dropped their 'ethnic' influences they might consider incorporating more solos into their craft that has a very gritty tone to it. Then they went on hiatus. It seemed the future of the band was in limbo, until they recruited Gokalp Ergen formerly of The Climb, an underground 90s band with a cult following.
The "oriental" sound of the previous two discs is almost nonexistent save for one track, "Now and Nevermore. Visit Our Friends At: There are also three songs sung in Turkish, of which only "Gecmisin Yuku" "The Burden of the Past" has a lasting effect. The single "Wasteland" showcases Pentagram's strengths perfectly.
