Piri Reis (Turkish: Pîrî Reis; born Muhiddin Piri; c. 1470–1553) was an Ottoman Turkish cartographer, admiral, navigator, and corsair. He is best known for his 1513 world map and his nautical atlas, the Kitab-ı Bahriye (Book of the Sea). His maps combined classical sources, firsthand seafaring experience, and new European discoveries, engaging more directly with the Age of Discovery than other Ottoman works from the period.
Piri Reis began his maritime career sailing with his uncle, the corsair Kemal Reis, with whom he entered Ottoman naval service. He later commanded his own ship in the Ottoman–Venetian wars and after his uncle's death, began the cartographic work for which he became best known. After taking part in the 1517 conquest of Egypt, Piri Reis presented his world map and later his atlases as gifts to the Ottoman Sultans. After promotion to grand admiral of the Ottoman fleet in the Indian Ocean, he led successful campaigns in the Red Sea, but was executed following his retreat from the siege of Hormuz Island at the mouth of the Persian Gulf.
Piri Reis are a five-piece screamo/emoviolence band from Shah Alam, Malaysia that formed in 2014. After years of honing their craft through a number of splits, they finally released their debut full-length "Ritma" earlier this year. It's a co-release between some fantastic labels, namely Zegema Beach Records, React With Protest, Moment Of Collapse, and Framecode Records. It's 10 tracks consist of dark, twisting riffs, chaotic rhythms, explosive drums, and some incredible shrieked vocals. <a href
