The 12th album from this band from Ukraine.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
This is the so far final album from this band from the war torn Ukraine. I hope the members, the band and indeed Ukraine itself survives the bastardly attack from Russia.
Their previous dozen of albums has been epic but still pretty standard black metal albums. They have been true to the black metal formula as deviced in Scandinavia a quarter of a century ago.
That means guitars and black metal vocals dominated music. The keyboards just acts like spice now and then.
On this album though, the speed has decreased a bit and there are some more cleaner vocals too. There are also some more standard heavy metal influences here.
The music is still black metal and the quality is somewhere between decent and good.
Black metal is not for everyone. But Drudkh is still one of the better black metal bands and a good start point to this genre.
2.5 points
