https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwoRrDkvOj8 – I absolutely love this performance by Batushka at Hellfest 2024! The intense fusion of black metal with religious imagery and liturgical elements is simply mesmerizing. The fact that they are known as “orthodox black metal” just adds a whole new dimension to their music and stage presence. 🎸🤘
The history behind the split between Krzysztof Drabikowski’s Batushka and Bartłomiej Krysiuk’s Batushka in 2018 is intriguing and adds an extra layer of depth to the band’s narrative. Seeing Drabikowski’s version of Batushka take the stage at Hellfest’s Temple is a fitting choice, given their emphasis on religious symbolism and reimagined rituals.
Their album Литургия (Litourgiya) from 2015 was a game-changer, firmly establishing them as a powerhouse in Polish black metal. Their live performances are like epic metal masses, and watching them is a transcendent experience. 🤯
Filmed on June 30, 2024, at Hellfest Open Air Festival in Clisson, this concert is a must-watch for any metal enthusiast. I highly recommend diving into the dark hymns of Batushka and letting yourself be immersed in their haunting melodies and powerful stage presence. 🤩
