Tour News - Polish black metal band Batushka announce one night only show in Auckland, NZ
/ Megan MossPresented by: Valhalla Touring
Pronounced „Batjushka”, the band’s Cyrillic name Батюшка means „father” and is used to address an Eastern Orthodox priest. Despite their themes and imagery, they are not a Christian band.
Hailing from Białystok, Podlaskie, Batushka was founded by Krzysztof Drabikowski in 2015. Bringing in vocalist Bartłomiej “Bart” Krysiuk, the distinct sound of Batushka was created and their debut album Litourgiya released. Litourgiya (Witching Hour Productions, 2015) is a masterful mix of savagely rhythmic black metal and Krysiuk’s beastly chants of the Eastern Orthodox litany, that continues to receive well deserved praise. Inspired by the Eastern Orthodox church in not only the imagery and themes, but Batushka’s lyrics are written exclusively in Church Slavonic, an encomium to the already haunting and jaggedly grand instrumentals.
The live lineups’ identities have always been concealed but are rumoured to be members of other prominent Polish metal acts. These same touring members will appear in Bartłomiej Krysiuk’s Batushka. Promising “something new” on top of their already spectacular showmanship, there is sure to be an otherworldly feel in the room.
