Drudkh - Eternal Sun

[FarmerDoom]

This song is FANTASTIC

[tcrono]

wow the music is truly mind-blowing. i just wish i hadn't started to read the comments...

[riric666]

NSBM doesn' t want say NAZI Genre !!!

[InFlames231]

The riffs, man, the riffs.

[mikebott]

in a way, i'm surprised that the ns/not ns thing is still going so strong, but then the band refuses to really say anything concrete... when most metalheads i know argue about drudkh though, the issue is whether their music is complex or 'virtuoso' enough, or if it's necessary

[bronzehydra3]

What in the FUCK is NSBM?

This sounds like some hardcore Prog-Metal to me!

[666TheMetalmaniac666]

@bronzehydra3 This sounds majestic, hypnotic and fucking Krieg. This ist Drudkh.

[TheGoreObsessor]

Absolutely Captivating Pagan Metal.

[xmarkox02]

This is fucking perfectness! It's the embodiment of PERFECT!

[ImSoFuckingHandsome]

Taras Shevchenko is one of the deepest poets that ever existed.

[musicalkaratekid]

ive been listening to a lot of drudkh tonight, for the very first time. i just cant believe, after loving bands such as cynic,enslaved and jethro tull, that i havent gotten into this band soon enough. well thats certainly one band on the christmas list then;)

[TheSinndogg]

I'm usually against the whole "dislikers are Justin Bieber fags", but for Drudkh... the four people who failed to 'Like' this video should be crucified.

And, on another note, I NEED this album.

[EvilGuy257]

this is not NSBM

i still remember how i learned texts of this song, Blood and Fate at the lessons of literature (sure ukrainian) in the school

[InFlames231]

One of their best songs without a doubt.

[GDFlicks]

The riffs beginning at 1:40...

Amazing. 

[texas2321]

Барабанщик живой или компьютер?

[FinlandsThunder]

I fuggin love Drudkh! kinda post-black-metalish

I thinks if I can find a bassist and keyboard, I will make a band like this only more funeral-doom stuff mixed.

[dubasher]

you are into black metal and know not about the goat?

[dubasher]

you can be capitalist and black metal...you are exercising free will, like the goat.

[amigaknight]

this albums on my to get list :)

[Surixurient]

almost everyone in europe who is proud of their country is national and socialist. i am a national capitalist :)

btw- excellent song!

[Gravelandart]

The lame metal mags like Terrorizer are afraid that these guys are "racists". What pussies. They won't even review Graveland's cds because he's a "nazi". Why not let the fans simply decide who they like and they don't?

[zarucarsha]

@Gravelandart Uh, because Nazis are hateful, ignorant people, and those magazines are intelligent enough to not want to incourage stupidity?

[amigaknight]

couldnt have said it any better myself ..

[amigaknight]

they probly wont review graveland because its a pile of shit!

[marrydruli]

what does drudkh means?

[TheAntiCosmic]

Wood in sanskrit

[glazedhoneybunz]

Actually I heard that Dru or Drud just means wood.

No one knows for sure what the kh means.

I could be wrong though.

[TheAntiCosmic]

From the Drudkh myspace "Drudkh seems to be from the word 'dru' (or 'daru') wich means 'wood'/'tree' in romanized Sanskrit. But there is no sequence like 'dkh' in Sanskrit so the exact meaning remains unrevealed."

[glazedhoneybunz]

Well dukh means spirit and or ghost in Ukrainian and many other slavic languages maybe Drudkh means something like tree spirit or wood spirit.

[J0hnny135]

it means "wood"

[marduchok]

"a tree" - on some ancient language

[Hexagrammaton00]

This song has many, many excellent points, but I must agree, the end is incredible.

[DownGod30]

hell yeah 2:09 sets a good atmosphre

[triumphelf]

Seen Drudkh with Satanic Warmaster and Graveland ..Wicked Show!!

[boethius27]

Yeah, somehow that show didn't make it to Boston. Fuck. heh

[Mrgalaxy]

Drudkh don't play live...

[malvery666]

My favorite song from Drudkh , the only song with a blastbeat ( i think ) very strong and powerful

[MusicalAgentUA]

This is not NSBM!!! Are you fucking idiots???

Song lyrics about Ukrainian nature and history, and no fucking NS-ideology!!!

Remember, almost songs lyrics autor is Taras Shevchenko

[ex0dus696]

Generating is so stupid ...In Poland if you will say something about jews or you are recording song about polish history ( which is great same like the ukrainian ) You're automatically NS ^^

[Muloc7253]

The assosiation comes from the fact that some members were in Hate Forest, an openly NS band. So even if their music isn't NS, the members are.

[Mrgalaxy]

The Drudkh myspace (the official one) even denounces NS and racism.

[seaofseeof]

Yeah, but is it really from Drudkh's mouth or is it Seasons of Mist being unwilling to be associated with NSBM? (To add, I know that Roman Saenko was quoted on the page too, but not specifically about NSBM). I'm not saying they're an NSBM band, but some of the members may hold such beliefs, or at least racist beliefs. Saenko was in Hate, weren't they NSBM? Continued below:

[seaofseeof]

While Saenko said that none of the members hold extremist views, they're admirers of the NOU, who we PRO-offensive violence, which can be considered extremist. What I'm saying is, Saenko's view of 'extremist' may be different from most people's. Regardless, though, Drudkh has been a favorite band of mine for years and they can believe whatever they want. Most musicians are assholes, so I don't care... though I find Drudkh's views still intriguing, possibly because they're so enigmatic about them

[marduchok]

who cares? Me, personally, just listen this awesome music with native folk motives so close to my soul... fuck NS... fuck others... ETERNAL SUN!

[seaofseeof]

As I had already stated, it's of no actual importance to their music. Drudkh's just kinda enigmatic about the philosophy, which is fun enough.

[glazedhoneybunz]

Actually Drudkh said that they were Conservative Revolutionary.

I love Drudkh.

[seaofseeof]

I know, but people say a lot of things. I'm not saying that any of Drudkh's members are national socialists, I'm just not saying that they aren't either. The signs point in multiple directions. Like one of the founding members having been in Hate Forest and all.

[glazedhoneybunz]

Yeah but Conservative Revolutionaries kind of has the same ideology as National Socialists.

[seaofseeof]

Yeah it's kinda similar, but I remember some CR being opposed to Nazism to some degree. However, in true Drudkh fashion, they're contradicting themselves by representing a collectivist ideology, while claiming that Drudkh's all about individualism.

I'm starting to think that they just wanna fuck with people's heads.

[glazedhoneybunz]

Whatever.

They are nationalists and they are proud of their people. And they make good music.

I appreciate that.

[Gravelandart]

so?

[glazedhoneybunz]

hmmm?

[dubasher]

individualism anarchists are the only true black metal people....black metal rejects any and all forms of collectivism.

[glazedhoneybunz]

well i guess then that im not a true black metaller.

[dubasher]

indeed.

[metalgodDC]

I hate when people become satanist just becouse of the music. It just shows that thoose peoples are weak seakers. I think satanism and black metal shuld be more separated. And becouse I'm a "satanist" I want many minus(n) on this comment!^^

[FLIPPITYFLOOP]

@MusicalAgentUA just a quick question, and im not assuming anything. if the two main members of Drudkh are also part of Hate Forest, (apparently) a NSBM band, would that make Drudkh also a NSBM band or no? just a curious question.

[Wolfenhords]

@MusicalAgentUA but the members of this band are neo-nazis you idiot.

[Goatsemen]

@Wolfenhords Labeling any band NS with a Nazi/Nazis regardless of the non-NS musical theme is redundant. If they were weaboo's, you wouldn't cal it Weaboo Metal

[heathenwilliamduke]

@Wolfenhords I love 'neo-nazis'- I really do. well, as long as they're not Catholic/Roman. the pagan ones are cool.

[heathenwilliamduke]

@MusicalAgentUA but not like NSBM is a bad thing, of course.

[Lordofwisdomdepths]

7:18

[wolvesinsnow]

you're right Dechristendom, but i prefer better the outro of "skies at our feet"

[dynamoluni]

nice from germany... very interest metal makes drudkh

[InfernalBr]

They're from Ukraine not Germany, ;).

[dynamoluni]

i know, but i am from germany^^

[AlxMiNeR]

OH SHIT.. beginning is sooo nice.. sound kinda like my favourite black metal album .. Dark Medieval time ..

[MasamuneFF]

Actually... Drudkh's official press releases describe their politics as Conservative Revolutionary... -NOT- National Socialist. The majority of Conservative Revolutionaries eventually even -opposed- the Nazi regime.

[Lordofwisdomdepths]

Thats wierd i read something diffrent at wikipedia . I read it was NSBM band ? with just a influence from NSBM ?

If im wrong than my bad .

[down417]

Why do you trust Wikipedia? Anyone could write that, for example, any of the people replying to this video right now saying "THEY'RE NSBM!" could've written that. They're wrong, but it's Wiki, so they can get away with it.

Drudkh have stated their Conservative Revolutionary views and denounced NS in one of their very few public addressings. That's all that needs to be said.

[Meshelsidek]

down417 speaks the truth

[InfernalBr]

And you do believe everything you hear, see or read in the Media :)? Tsc.. typical american.

[Lordofwisdomdepths]

Im not american im from estonia from Northern europe u prick .

[zetsushoren]

lol win

[Bastarden1337]

Estonia is fuckin' metal!

[down417]

Drudkh aren't even NSBM, shut the fuck up arguing about it as if it's relevant to the video. You youtube arguers are the fucking most retarded people ever. You should have computers and internet access taken away from you. Maybe if you actually had to spend money buying the CDs to hear the music, you might have a clue what you're talking about instead of just listening to it for five seconds for free online acting like you know everything to do with the band inside out.

[snorhoofd]

How funny, you're writing down the reason that makes me wanna throw my PC out of the window. Perfect, thanks :D

People should listen,,,not argue

[FLIPPITYFLOOP]

@down417 just a quick question, and im not assuming anything. if the two main members of Drudkh are also part of Hate Forest, (apparently) a NSBM band, would that make Drudkh also a NSBM band or no? just a curious question.

[down417]

@FLIPPITYFLOOP No. The views, musical direction, imagery or lyrical content of one band do not always conform with that of another band just because they happen to share members. To be honest with you, I don't really consider Hate Forest very NSBM either ... people tend to confuse NSBM with national and cultural pride, a lot ...

[FLIPPITYFLOOP]

@down417 i see what you mean. what do both bands tend to write about? like i understand that Drudkh tends to write about the seasons alot, but the fact that they dont publish many of their lyrics and that they refuse to do many interviews still makes me question about them... i guess it leads me to hate forest. what do they tend to write about?

[bolverkrheathenlord]

@down417 yeah you're all right ! for me, in a personal and particular opinion, I agree with all form of "nationalism" or love for for tradition, culture and heritage, I'm from France, I tribute my Gaulish ancestors, but I don't deny the pride of Slavonic, Scandinavian (or just nordic for all the rest), Germanic (...) people and I AM PROUD FOR THEM, we all need to be proud of our culture, and even if someones turn to more extreme (or stupid) thoughs but we are all EUROPEANS, we'd done history

[bolverkrheathenlord]

@down417 but its very difficult to tell what I really think about "nazism" or all around on a computer, but I just think the "neo-nazis" heads who speak of "ns" & cie don't know alot about what they advance, there are alot of similar but not always assimilated beliefs in anyway... so at last I want to say than I listen and agree or not with some facts in "ns" bands like Absurd or Graveland (here yes we speak of nazism), or even a lot of others from northern to eastern Europe, but it is MUSIC !

[Vichnost]

of course it doesn't. All I'm saying is that denying that NSBM is largely influenced by Nazism is stupid.

[Vichnost]

no it's not :p there are many reliable sources on the net, you should look..If u don't get convinced then I don't think there is something more to say

[whisperlord]

heh I checked many of those bullshits on web and less than beated-half is true-guess u believed it with no use of your brain so its okay(-: just one question-in"NS" lyrics of your "views" are many terms of genocides,wars,misanthropic stuff.misanthrope is someone who hate others.how could misanthrope socialized in relationship of ANY nation?

[Vichnost]

National Socialism = Nazism or Nationalsozialismus, is a German term, the pagan and folk elements in music are brought by the strong sense of Nationalism itself in NSBM bands.

[whisperlord]

that´s a fuckin´ lie!

[whisperlord]

90% of those who r saying smthing about NSBM are confused emo kiddies with only hearing some bullshits from same faggots in pubs

[FrenziedLogic]

Paganism has nothing to do with Nazism.

[Vichnost]

of course it doesn't. All I'm saying is that denying that NSBM isn't largely influenced by Nazism is stupid.

[pixells200]

Nationalsozialismus is a term from Austria.......no from germany.

[Vichnost]

Swan Road and Blood in our Wells are works of Ukrainian poets, it's just shows their inspiration, just like mine, what does it have to do with NSBM anyway? Enstrangement's lyrics hold a very romantic and often sad and depressing feeling behind them..Autumn Aurora too...So am I missing anything? :p

[whisperlord]

so is your wrong meaning of NSBM as the whole part of ppl.NS mean celebration of nation and taking a respect of its culture and habits with often enjoying nature and land where"nation" live-folklore is pure example.Hitler just related NS with nazi and going totally wrong.NS is humanistic way-joy of nation is on first place instead of hating others.one difference between NS and pagan/in slavonic/ is pagan is infinite in relationship of "nation" instead of NS.

[AlexandreSchwarz]

I don't know why they call it National Socialism then. There's NO socialist theory in it. It's in NO WAY a substitute for the capitalist way of production. And anyone should be able to admit that NS kids aren't very fond of studying economy.

[TheMaximus93]

I love this fucking song!

[Vichnost]

u too :*

[cruel139]

<3 <3 <3

[Vichnost]

Drudkh is not NSBM.

[cruel139]

Vichnost u r a fascistic pig :P

[whisperlord]

drudkh IS nsbm...i doubt if u´re really from ukraina if u can´t recognize NS in lyrics o_O...yeah the marks over this band is atmospheric BM/metal-archives/ but it´s not true at all

[Vichnost]

I doubt if you have even read any of their lyrics at all..Earliest Hate Forest were definitely NSBM, but that's another thing.

[dotaportalvideo]

National-Socialist Black Metal ftw

[MassSoulCurse]

i love this song.

i dont know if you are aware of this video included '1648' that intro of swan road ;)

[Dechristendom]

yes, I know

The two songs go very good together, so I didn't remove 1648

[MassSoulCurse]

yeah its realy sounds good

[SvenneFantast]

Whoa!

[whisperlord]

cool shit---ay!:D ukraina-well my neighbours:D
