In 2006, lyricist/multi-instrumentalist Ajda the Turkish Queen, originally from Houston, Texas met up with Boston, Massachusetts guitarist Tony Savarino. Inspired by the lore surrounding a little town in Turkey - Afyonkarahisar, which means ‘Black Fortress of Opium’ – they shortly thereafter formed the band Black Fortress of Opium together with Joe Turner (drums). Much lore surrounds the history of this place, Afyonkarahisar, where an ancient fortress is perched atop a hill.
