Sometimes I thought about posting a thread of Turkish bands.But I couldn't be sure if I was proficient.But kuusuru and wolferin convinced me to post this thread to show some Turkish bands 
.So I will recognize some of them as I can do .
I only know of Pentagram/Mezarkabul, and I thought they were pretty good, so I'd also be keen to hear more Turkish bands
I can say that kuusuru is right.Pentagram(a.k.a Mezarkabul in abroad) is one the best metal bands in Turkey.Pentagram was formed in 1987.4 guitarists played in Pentagram.Their first solo guitarist Ümit Yılbar had died in a combat while he was in army
."Fly Forever" is composed for him.Their second guitarist is Murat Net.He played the songs of their first album "Pentagram".Third guitarist is Demir Demirkan (he also composed Every Way That I Can in Eurovision03 with Sertab Erener).He played the songs of Trail Blazer.And their current guitarist (my favorite )Metin Türkcan has been playing in Pentagram since 1995.He plays one of Turkish Classic Music tones in songs of Pentagram.That's why I admire him so much and he plays with Şebnem Ferah too.I'll introduce her.
And 4 vocalists sang in Pentagram.Bartu Toptaş was their first vocalist.He had sung for a short time.The second vocalist is Ogün Sanlısoy.He left the band for his solo career and I can say that he is very succesful.He sang in Trail Blazer.The third vocalist was Murat Ilkan(King of Kings he is a god I think.)He was singing between 1995-2010.He left the band last summer because of health issues 
.And he sings as solo now.He is a god for me because he can sing like a chort.His voice is very impressive .And their current vocalist is Gökalp Ergen.I haven't listened him yet because I can't go concerts due to several reasons :/ .
Note:I learned that they played very hard in their first concert.So they damaged the hall where they sang ;D .
This is my favorite song Of Pentagram in Turkish.
And my other favorite in English.
www.thepentagram.net Here is their website.
Note:Anatolia can be described as a folk metal song.
Şebnem Ferah:
I said that I'll introduce her.Her family was wery good at music.Especially her father,he was a music teacher.She formed her first band "Pegasus" in high school.But her well-known band was Volvox.But I don't know anything about them because that band was formed before my birth and disbanded when I was a kid.She released her first album "Kadın"(The Woman) in 1996.And that album broke the records in Turkey.Her second album "Artık Kısa Cümleler Kuruyorum"(I Form Short Sentences) released in 1999.In that album she composed a song,"Bugün", for her older sister who died.If I feel bad or sorry,that song may make me cry.The third album is "Perdeler"(The Curtains),it was released in 2001.Fourth album is "Kelimeler Yetse"(If Only Words Were Enough),it was released in 2003.With this album,she had started to become a goddess I think.Her fifth album is Can Kırıkları"Pieces of Heart" and it was released in 2005.That album has the same name with a book.Because she read that book and liked so much.I read that book too.That album and the book changed my life.I discovered her with Can Kırıkları.It's too late but I'm proud of being her fan In my opinion she became a goddess with that album.Her latest album "Benim Adım Orman"(My Name Is Forest) was released the end of 2009.She is an excellent lyric writer too.So her songs have a great affection for most people including me.Sometimes her songs make me cry because they are very soulful.She taught me what the life is and how to live.When I was very sad or depressed,she encouraged me a lot .
These are her latest video clips.
Her hardest song ever.
Unfortunately she has no website or myspace etc..
Pentagram taught me metal and Şebnem taught me rock.That's why I'm their fan.
Hayko Cepkin:
He is an excellent rock singer.Somebody claims that he imitates Marylin Manson(But I'm sure that he is much better than m.m..And he is a m.m. fan.).He sang in church chorus and is an excellent keyboardist.He can do scream vocals very well .

;D
Also, have searched for Ebonsight, the BM band I knew...good one also. But what I kant get out of my head is that I think there was a BM band called Astarte in Turkey, yet Astarte is (also) a BM women band from Greece. 
Maybe I am wrong, but really feel convinced in Turkey was another Astarte band too.
