“This could be a sleeper hit for many in their collection. LOSTPRAY isn’t going to blaze the fastest trail, they instead perform Metal in a tasteful manner – keeping the focus on great riffs, strong hooks, and clean, memorable vocals. One to watch, hopefully for years to come.”

“Harmonisch abgestimmt, verpacken LostPray ihre Werke auf That´s Why. Nicht wie viele andere Bands des Genres verfallen sie in müde Rhythmen, die den Hörer nur durch emotionale Höchstspannung ansprechen. Viel mehr versuchen sie auch durch diverse Geschwindikeitswchsel den Spannungsbogen nicht abreißen zulassen. Eine gelungene Vorstellung von LostPray, die das Album sehr hörbar macht und zu einer Kaufempfehlung aufwertet.”

“Türkische Heavy-Metal-Bands zählen – obwohl mittlerweile einige gutklassige Vertreter auch außerhalb ihres Landes zumindest Beachtung finden – immer noch zu den Exoten. LOSTPRAY schielen mit ihrem in Eigenregie und nur digital veröffentlichten Debüt „That’s Way“ musikalisch Richtung Mainstream – und die Tatsache, dass neben türkischen auch noch ukrainische Musiker mitmischen, sorgt für weitere Exotenboni.”

“LostPray’den temennim; basları daha etkin kullanmaları ve de belki biraz daha solo. Fakat bundan daha büyük bir temennim; bu yolda devam etmeleri. Bir debut albüme göre çok büyük bir iş bu.”

“But the significant thing about Lostpray is that their music stays sharp, sounds fresh, with strong well-developed arrangements that juxtapose heaviness with melody, harmony, and catchy hooks. Armed with Cigdem’s impressive vocals they’ve crafted some entertaining songs with their fusion of heavy metal and hard rock. Honestly, I was both surpised and impressed by the band and the depth of their music. Easily recommended.”

“That’s Why is a fine debut album. There’s nothing complex about it and it’s quite commercial-sounding, but most importantly it’s fun to listen to, which is what music should be.”

“>Verdict: Absolutely Stunning <
All in all, I have no doubt you’ll love this album. ‘Priestianity’ is an album drenched in glorious playing.. The riffs, the drumming, the bass, all of it is grand and plays in unison. You won’t find yourself bored.. For one, the album diversifies in it’s sound, going from slow to heavy, or somewhere in between.. As well as swift solos. Despite the strong nature of the album, LOSTPRAY still maintains melody and interest.”

“With Nickolay Dovgopolov on drums, Burak Gundogdu on vocals and guitars, and Vyacheslav Babienko on bass drives the music home with heavy guitar riffs and strong drum beats on such tracks as Cyberblood, Deep Depression, Haternity, and The Evil Child. The album was well performed, written and recorded. I am looking forward to hearing more from this band. “

“the metal scene just got a little more badass with their newest song (Deep Depression) being pretty heavy with a slight dose of melodic charm ranging to a few from their first album(zero to hero) focussing more on the melodic side of metal laying a easy to take in groove with some pretty damn good vocals, and don’t get me started on the Slayer covers… “

“Priestianity has destroyed everything i believed of thrash metal and all the story of thrash metal because their thrash metal isn’t like a fight but it’s so melodic for the prog and the influence of traditional turkish music, this last influence reminds a little to soad but lost pray don’t copy soad. They have a similar style but lost pray has a strange sound which is aggressive for the thrash metal but a lot relaxing for the turkish influence and prog. The album is an album which to understand it well you have to listen it 30 times and the video of the first track too. All the songs are genial, not banal and all wonderful. My mark is:10/10”
