Drudkh / Hades Almighty - One Who Talks With the Fog / Pyre Era, Black! - LP Gatefold

The prolific and enigmatic Ukranian black metal collective DRUDKH return with the first in a string of forthcoming split-EP releases. The first sees them join forces with cult Norwegians HADES ALMIGHTY. DRUDKH mastermind Roman Sayenko has drawn lyrical inspiration for their tracks from the poetry of Ukrainian writer Volodymyr Svidzins'kyi (1885-1941), who was murdered by the Soviets after years of censorship and repression. Musically the two tracks, "Golden Horse" and "Fiery Serpent", are among the finest of DRUDKH's works combine thunderously heavy metal with epic melodies to create black metal masterpieces.
