The Hysteria

The Hysteria

The Hysteria are a post rock band originating in Istanbul, Turkey.

Tolga Celtekligil (Guitar) and Baris Kucukay (Guitar) founded The Hysteria in 1997 during their study at the Istanbul Technical University (ITU). At that time they played under the moniker "Hysterical Blues" and played covers of blues/rock songs with various other members.

In 1998 the band changed its name to "The Hysteria" when Cevat Ozyildirim (Drums), Ufuk Ozgirgin (Bass) and Ozge Ozturk (Vocals) joined the band. The Hysteria started to play original songs in a new psychedelic rock style, combining eastern and western sounds and melody in partly an effort to summarise Istanbul through their music.

The Hysteria made several significant appearances between 1999 and 2001, playing in festivals, performing live on TV, recording their songs and generally playing gigs in the rock venues of Istanbul. The band seems to have been put on an indefinite hiatus, beginning in 2003.

Early Days (1998-1999)

Yagmur (literally rain) is to be believed The Hysteria's very first song produced together, comprising of a melancholic beginning with an Iron Maiden-esque finishing. This song was played only in the early shows and was never made into a studio recording.

Ramses was influenced by eastern music, and is a song describing a war somewhere in North Africa. "Ramses" is also one of the first songs by the band that went on to become one of the first recordings, along with "Karmasa".

Karmasa (literally ) describes the complicated life in Istanbul. The song is unique for the delicate yet wild vocals of Ozge Ozturk. "Karmasa" is the second song produced by The Hysteria and the first studio recording made in 1999.

Hysterian Days (1999-2000)

Quasimodo went on to become a studio recording together with "Koza" in 2000.

Koza (literally cocoon) is a smooth and melodic song and the only song by The Hysteria with written lyrics. However it is never sung with lyrics, instead dark-sounding indechipherable singing.

Late Age (2000-2001)

Horns is one of the last songs produced by The Hysteria.

Kerhane (literally whore house) was played on some of the gigs but never really finished; partly composed during the concerts.

Alfa Sehri (literally alpha city) is a fast, aggressive song.
