Bülent Ceylan Releases Metal Album B.L.N.T.

The record marks a deliberate move to treat metal as his main musical outlet, features a duet with Doro Pesch, and precedes a late-September club tour.

Overview

  • Ceylan released his second studio album B.L.N.T. on September 11, 2026, presenting heavier songs alongside melodic, singable refrains.
  • A duet with metal veteran Doro Pesch is promoted as a highlight intended to bolster Ceylan’s credibility in the metal scene.
  • The album includes politically charged tracks such as “Diktatürk,” which Ceylan describes as a broad critique of autocrats rather than a single target.
  • Ceylan will begin a club tour on September 22 in Mannheim and play Munich on September 26, saying the shows will mix uncompromising metal with moments of humor and audience singalongs.
  • This push builds on his 2024 debut Ich liebe Menschen and festival appearances including Wacken, while he treats recent opera work as a separate project with performances planned into early 2027.
