Drudkh is a fucking sick beast. Some of their newer material really lacks the drive and sense of urgency behind records like Forgotten Legends. I was listening to the new shit today, and it just didn’t hit like I remembered these guys doing before. So, a little bummed, I went back to their first record, and HO-LY-SHIT. So fucking awesome, man. The Eastern Europeans sure know how to take black metal and make it equally depressing, pissed, and driving. I’d say there are some depressive elements on this track, but it still manages to shred the fuck out of your speakers. Between Gromm and these guys, Ukraine is doing something seriously right.

Check their last record, Microcosmos, which was on Season of Mist.
