Лебединий шлях (The Swan Road) builds upon the raw yet melodic approach of its predecessor, blending tremolo-picked guitar melodies with driving percussion and distant, anguished vocals that evoke a sense of longing and nostalgia. The album is heavily influenced by the works of Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko, further grounding its themes in cultural and historical depth and a balance between aggression and melancholic beauty gives the music an immersive, almost cinematic quality. Unique band with a unique sound that isn’t for everyone, but if you’re in, there is some uncommon beauty to behold.
R.I.P. to original Drudkh drummer Amorth who was killed last October defending his homeland from Russian aggression.
2022 French reissue from the Season Of Mist Underground Activists label. Paradoxically visceral and sublime.
