Finally more shows after the summer break! So it was time for Batushka. The concept is crazily good. Polish Black Metal with orthodox liturgy, kind of the black metal pendant to Ghost, masking their faces and staying anonymous. And it works so well for both bands.
The stage features an icon of Maria and baby Jesus, with wiped off faces, liturgical candles and a three piece choir for the liturgical chants. Let the blasphemy begin then!
The band, as far as I got it, played their whole debut album, so some 45 minutes of music, and that was it. Some might say this was too short, but hey, going to church would be about the same, haha!
It was fascinating how well the chants work with the singers black metal screams. The music was driving, energetic, very enjoyable indeed! It's thrilling to see some bands with a completely new idea how to work with black metal. And how come no one thought of this earlier, since it works so well in a beautifully blasphemic way! Well done Batushka and thank you for the mass!
Come together, together as one
Come together, together for Lucifer's son
