Drabikowski and Krysiuk split in 2018 as Krysiuk signed to METAL BLADE RECORDS (and now NAPALM RECORDS) under the BATUSHKA name.
Drabikowski unleashed "Панихида" in 2019 as Батюшка

Polish Black Metal Icons PATRIARKH, Formerly Batushka , Reveal Official Music Video for “ВЕРШАЛИН IV”!Watch it here: https://youtu.be/79T3DUgYCMYFrom Upcoming New Album, ПРОРОК ИЛИЯ, out January 3, 2025"A symphonic-demonic liturgy that transcends all genre boundaries!" - Legacy (DE)Polish black metal icons PATRIARKH (formerly Batushka) embark on a dark and ominous pilgrimage as they unveil the next single from the upcoming concept album, ПРОРОК ИЛИЯ (Lat. PROROK ILJA), out on January 3, 2025 via Napalm Records. Accompanied by an official music video, the new song, entitled “ВЕРШАЛИН IV” (Lat. WIERSZALIN IV), weaves the sacred-inspired vocals of Eliza Sacharczuk with liturgical melodies, building into a storm of dark choirs and unforgettably intense harsh vocals.Building on the critical success of Hospodi (2019) and relentless touring around the globe, PATRIARKH brings a renewed vision and profound storytelling to their Napalm Records debut. This eight-track journey immerses listeners in the true story of Eliasz Klimowicz, the enigmatic Prophet Ilja, set against the dramatic historical backdrop of the 1930s and ’40s. Deeply rooted in Eastern Orthodox traditions, PATRIARKH masterfully merges black and doom metal with haunting religious themes, conjuring an atmosphere as dark as it is mesmerizing.Make sure to pre-order your copy of ПРОРОК ИЛИЯ (Lat. PROROK ILJA) now and check out the thrilling music video for “ВЕРШАЛИН IV” (Lat. WIERSZALIN IV) below!PATRIARKH on the new single “ВЕРШАЛИН IV”:“This is the most Oriental sounding song on our new album. The beautiful monody that runs throughout the entire piece is deeply influenced by Greek and Romanian traditions, which are integral to Orthodoxy. In our new music, we aim to showcase different aspects of Orthodoxy. Just as the Prophet Ilja journeyed to Kronsztadt, we traveled far for musical inspiration to create a psalm in honor of the New Jerusalem that our prophet was building.This song features our long-time singing teacher, Eliza Sacharczuk. We have been collaborating with her since 2016, continuously improving our singing skills through lessons and consultations. Our choice was intentional; Eliza has a truly unique voice. Listen and see for yourself!"VIDEO BELOW: PATRIARKH: NEW TRACK "ВЕРШАЛИН IV" (VIA YOU TUBE, COURTESY OF NAPALM RECORDS):Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-

OFERMOD: "Do NOT buy or support the releases at Odium Records, above all do NOT buy anything he released related to Ofermod because it’s been deemed unworthy, this also includes the split. There will be represses of everything in due time with the intent to continue to honor the legacy of Ofermod."
Swedish black metal warriors OFERMOD have posted the below statement on the bands bad relationship with ODIUM RECORDS.ODIUM RECORDS have posted a replay to OFERMOD'S accusations.
FROM OFERMOD:
misuse of magickal seals of an esoteric current that he doesn’t/ and will NEVER belong to IS a direct violation. Satanism and the currents connected to it are NOT a dress up game and should be treated with RESPECT.To anyone interested in the esoteric understand that it takes time and honest conviction. You simply can’t pick up a book on occultism and plagiarize the authors works like he does in order to make himself seem “authentic”, it’s a SEVERE sign of disrespect.Don’t support this low life parasites label or outputs if you deem Black Metal of any importance to you. Be honest with your inclination and the path will open up to you. Like with everything in life, honesty and integrity is everything and Ofermods legacy will NOT be watered down to some spiritless clowns agenda for “fame.”Do NOT buy or support the releases at Odium Records, above all do NOT buy anything he released related to Ofermod because it’s been deemed unworthy, this also includes the split. There will be represses of everything in due time with the intent to continue to honor the legacy of Ofermod.We also hope that Niklas Kvarforth backs out of any deals relating to Shining because Shadow is looking to capitalize and leech off of Shining and it’s outputs.Support bands that are HONEST with REAL spiritual conviction that have ACTUALLY walked the path and aren’t pretending for the sake of “fame.” Immerse yourselves in the works of our allies, namely:Below, a photo of Belfagor burning Black Altar merchandise. Our will be done!FROM ODIUM RECORDS:
Ok, enough is enough. I just read a statement on the official page of Ofermod and although I hate to discuss things like that in public but eye to eye with the person involved, I have to react to defend my name. I posted my long comment under the post but a new vocalist Naldo deleted it straight away.First of all this page is not run by Mika Hakola but by his new vocalist, Indian guy Naldo from Usa who just took over control of the page after I ran it and Mika doesn’t have access to it. He also started a new Instagram profile without consultation with Mika although there was an official Instagram page before.Secondly, he writes his posts without any consultation with him about what Mika complained to me and I promised him that I do bad things to him for all of his lies that’s why he is trying to ruin my reputation now and is trying to manipulate Mika.Naldo wrote in one of his comments that split of Ofermod / Acherontas / Black Altar is a bootleg, that I am a pirate and people shouldn’t buy anything from me. How the hell is possible that it’s a bootleg when Mika composed the songs for this split, I paid a lot of money for expensive Endarker studio and royalties for Mika and even recorded backing vocals in Ofermod songs you stupid moron?Even Mika under your post wrote that it’s not a bootleg and it’s released as one of the best looking, beautiful double vinyls, with graver on side D, booklet, poster, special foil etc what cost me 10k euro.You Naldo joined the band over 1 year later and don’t have any idea what you are writing about. In such short period of time you made so many mistakes and gained new enemies for you and Ofermod that I hope that Mika will kick you out before you ruin reputation of the band because of your stupidity.Mika wanted to play gigs so I gathered the whole line up for him, we had been learning and practising songs over a year, he didn't have any merch so I printed it for my last money for him so he would earn money. I have plenty of t-shirts now and nobody wants to buy them because after the first gig Mika didn’t want to continue.I booked all the shows for Ofermod and later had to cancel them and face the wrath of the promoters. I booked South American Tour for Ofermod where promoters paid about 15000$ just for the flight tickets and 5 days before the first gig Mika said that he will not go anywhere because has a flue and can’t go out from the bed and 2 days later he posted video when he smoking crack in the toilet and all promoters wanted to kill him. We didn't receive even 1 euro for Black Altar gig at Steelfest because promoter was such pissed off at him for cancelling another show.Everybody around said, including his close friends and ex musicians of Ofermod that I lost my mind if I put such a lot of effort, time and money into Ofermod because he is heavy drugs user and nobody could rely on him. Unfortunately I didn't listen to them and was defending him and saying that this time he is more serious and will be better. I spent so much of my last money on his flight tickets which he cancelled because he forgot when is the flight.Finally when he visited me I treated him like the most precious guest, buying him everything he wanted, cigarettes, beers, food, wanted to buy expensive leather clothes, paid for a barber, boots etc. because he wanted to enter the stage in blue safety shoes with yellow ball on them and look like a clown.He was lying to his friends that he stopped playing gigs not because his voice was like 6 years old girl because of some health problems and he couldn't remember even 1 lyric and read them from 10 pages but because we weren't occult enough. The rest of the musicians wanted to kill him when they heard that all of this effort was just to play 1 concert. We posted one song from the gig but had to put dozens of effects on his vocals to make it sound acceptable.This list is much longer but I think that's enough to make a bigger picture and once again I feel very uncomfortable to write it in public but I didn't have any choice since Naldo was deleting my comments straight away and finally blocked me.Besides that I still wish Mika all the best, respect his devotion to occultism and always tried to defend him when people said around bad things about him. I just feel sorry for him that he is so weak and easy to manipulate by the leeches like Naldo.ShadowThanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-BURNING WITCHES: POST VIDEO FOR NEW TRACK "THE SPELL OF THE SKULL"

European experimental folk warriors HEILUNG have announced the band will go on hiatus. . .
HEILUNG unleashed "DRIF", 8/19/2022 via SEASON OF MIST.
FROM HEILUNG:
Anda fardha“The end of a journey”Life is a journey and all journeys end at one point. After several years of extensive touring, Heilung has decided to retreat for a while.Heilung’s work has strong notations of traditional shamanism. Shamans retreat, sometimes very long, to be reunited with their power, their spirits; to recharge. If they would constantly work, they would burn out, lose contact to themselves, their helping entities and their light.Our last ritual will be the 17th of August on a for now secret location.Tickets for this tour go on sale Thursday 07.11 at 10:00 CET.
