Labirent (Labyrinth in English) is a progressive rock/metal band formed in Ankara, Turkey, in 1987^{[citation needed]}. In the early period of rock music in Turkey, when the style was considered strange, Serhat Koçak and Yavuz Selim Sarıcı founded Labirent and introduced progressive rock to the Turkish music market^{[citation needed]}. In 1992, guitarist Volkan Unluer joined the band, creating its present shape. They achieved success^{[citation needed]} in 1997 with their first album Çağın Harikası ("Miracle of the Century"). They made a symphonic rock performance “which was a first in Turkey”^{[citation needed]} performing with a Gazi University Symphony Orchestra on the Turkish National TV Channel TRT. As of 2011 the band members were pursuing solo projects.
