│ First off, our extended salutations to our comrades in -86D for the │
│ sorce. Rock on \m/ │
│ │
│ To be completely honest, Drudkh is one of my favourite bands of all │
│ time, spanning over all genres that I enjoy. Having said this, I │
│ found ????? ???????? ? ?????????? to be an incredibly nice listen; │
│ an entirely different approach to the atmosphere already created by │
│ previous Drudkh works. I really like this album, flat out, and I'll │
│ tell you why. │
│ │
│ Any listener of Drudkh will instantly recognize the riffs each song │
│ is centered around (with the exception of Sunset in Carpathians and │
│ Grey Haired Steppe.) I've heard the idea of this album being bad │
│ being at fault of rehashing old works and trying to package it as │
│ something different. First of all, Drudkh is a band who works in │
│ harmony with atmosphere, and each 'rehashed' riff is powerful in │
│ itself; if anything, it shows us the versatility of Saenko's riff │
│ work and musicianship. Second of all, with the exception of The │
│ Cranes Will Never Return Here, original and separate works have been │
│ added to each song. │
│ │
│ I find myself in MANY instances just humming or somehow 'singing' │
│ the songs off this album. Each riff has a certain sense or │
│ memorability to it, and I find this through the way they rest in my │
│ head, just the way Drudkh intended. I'm not going to get butt-hurt │
│ because some (or most) people don't like this album, being such a │
│ large Drudkh fan and all, but I do have many legitimate aspects that │
│ I think makes this album a classic. It's such an easy listen, and │
│ it's really what you make of it. Why The Sun Becomes Sad is, to me, │
│ an incredibly upbeat song, and it will always be my drinking song, │
│ but that's purely personal experience. Anyone who listens to Drudkh │
│ or even black metal in general should have some idea of music │
│ creating an atmosphere rooted in repetition, and this album creates │
│ this in a true Drudkh style, but in a new way, demonstrating the │
│ versatility of the entire band in seperate works. │
│ │
│ Despite all of this, taking the album at face value, it's a nice, │
│ easy, calming listen depending how you will personally take each │
│ song. All together, it is a collection of wonderful acoustic riffs │
│ coated perfectly in assorted wind instruments that create a smooth │
│ listen to be enjoyed by anyone, and I recommend this album to two │
│ groups of people: │
│ 1) Fans of acoustic music. │
│ 2) Fans of Drudkh │
│ │
│ This album will please both, and potentially convert those in │
│ neither of those categories. Highly recommended. │
│ │
│ Extra note; albumtitle left in Ukrainian (as it was intended) and │
│ Ukrainian/English tracknames for your convienance. Also because they │
│ are listed on the back. Tagged 'Folk' because there isn't a vocal │
│ in sight on this little ritual. │
