I find most art forms exceedingly dull... fashion, romanticism, modernism... to me they're all just unwitting expressions of the shamelessness and idiocy of mankind. Nationalist art, however, always seems to carry a noble beauty, passion and dignity which seems unmatched by most of this talentless, meaningless drivel we allow to exist.
This genre of music is so hit or miss, so fragile. I've listened to so many bands that think by playing a minor chord ambiently they're making ground breakingly moving music. Because it's so easy to produce something structurally similar to this without an actual ear for amazing melodies 95% of the bands in this genre are horrible. Drudkh is absolutely not one of those bands.
They sound to me like Burzum mixed with doom metal same limited folk music inside it with the cold grim scratchy ambient BM atmosphere,nature folklore that all reminds me of Burzum.
@ReidHenderson: haha, this comment prompted me to ask my man if we could try the same too. at first he was like "uhhhhhh, you wanna put on BLACK METAL??" but then he ended up loving it.
thanks man, probably wouldn't have thought of that myself... X)
Drudkh's music really makes my skin chill, it feels just like the embrace of nature and of one's true ethnical heritage... I may not be Slavic, I'm actually from Guatemala, but still, it does make me very, very proud of my heritage, as a heir of the Mayan land... Really powerful music, inspiring and touching... after having listened to their vast and various songs, now they definitely are one of my favourite folk/black metal bands ever...
Same. Drudkh is probably one of the few black metal bands that actually has anything to say besides "worship Satan" and "kill yourself." Not to put those bands down (I'm almost as big a Shining fan as a Drudkh fan), but it gets repetitive. You can literally hear and feel the purpose in Drudkh in ways most bands can't understand or achieve.
Drudkh is a great band. I find much pride in my slavic heritage when listening to thier music. The mystery behind the band is also part of what makes thier music so pure and powerful.
not many things can bring forth tears to my eyes the solo i just heard made my body feel heavy yet sent my spirit soaring across the earth, all while tears of my built-up anguish released themselves across my face.... such a beautiful work of art
thanks to Metal Hammer I heard the band exists... Loved them at once, so powerful, so atmospheric, no matter some songs are 8-10mins long you just cant stop listening to them. Black is alive and intelligent. Thank you DRUDKH (whatever that name means)

They sound to me like Burzum mixed with doom metal same limited folk music inside it with the cold grim scratchy ambient BM atmosphere,nature folklore that all reminds me of Burzum.
But still with something of their own..

I feel the same way, i'm not Slavic either, i'm Germanic though. But i feel so close to nature through Drudkh, it almost feels Shamanistic.
