The band is a massive influence in the modern Turkish rock scene. Duman is comprised of three permanent members: Kaan Tangöze (vocals/guitars), Ari Barokas (bass), and Batuhan Mutlugil (guitars).

The first roots of the band may be found in Mad Madam, which was a cover band with a set list full of songs from Seattle groups. Kaan Tangöze and Ari Barokas were together in Mad Madam until Tangöze flew to Seattle to earn a graduate degree. Upon returning to Turkiye with a handful of songs molded in the spirit of the Seattle scene, Tangöze formed Duman with Ari Barokas from his former group and Batuhan Mutlugil from another local cover band. After first deciding to work with session drummers, drummer Alen Konakoğlu took on this responsibility and the group released Eski Köprünün Altında in 1999.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Duman's song Balık speak about a person who wants to catch a fish and taste it. The first verse compares the one that got away to someone's lover who has left. The singer tries their luck and puts their line in the water, hoping to catch something. The lines "Takıl ağıma canım, tadına bakacağım" are repeated, expressing the excitement and anticipation of the catch. The second verse compares the fish to a seductive lover who has turned the singer's head, leaving them entranced, and they want to taste more of what they have to offer. The third and final verse talks about being driven off course, as if pulled by a force of nature or overwhelming passion. The desire to catch and taste the fish becomes an obsession that the singer can't control, "Tadına bakacağım" repeated over and over in a frenzy of excitement.
