BATUSHKA

The second full-length studio album by Polish Black Metal band.
In the same time known as the first album of Bartłomiej's Batushka, "Hospodi" enhances all the unique qualities that made the band such an instant phenomenon, while offering an entirely distinct and fresh sensory experience.
The album boasts the most ferocious and bewitching songs the band has penned to date. Fiercely conceived and audaciously executed, "Hospodi" takes the epoch-shattering essence of Batushka’s debut to a new level of idiosyncratic intensity. From the mesmerizing chants of the opening “Wozglas” to the blazing bombast of “Dziewiatyj Czas” and the pulsing, dark rock melodrama of “Wieczernia”, this is an album full of wildly dynamic, divergent moments, wherein the band’s otherworldly, inspirational fervour meets the whip-crack precision of 21st century brutality.
Perhaps most importantly, Batushka’s deft conjuring of religion’s synaptic shock ‘n’ awe looms large over every scything riff and bellicose scream. By the time fans reach the overpowering climax of the closing "Liturgiya", a true Damascene conversion is practically guaranteed!
