I'm listening to Drudkh at the moment.....

I've been saying that I had to dock this album a point for ending with such a purposeless (there's a big difference between useful minimalism and repetition for its own sake) track ever since first hearing it. It might recover that point if I tried listening to it while bombed...
 
By the way, the first Drudkh album is ultra-repetitive and Burzum-esque. Autumn Aurora, by comparison, is like a kaleidoscope of riffs.

AA also features some of the most exquisite drumming I've ever heard - completely real and totally varied, changing almost every second bar. Actually, the drumming is what makes the album, otherwise the riffs are indeed pretty repetitive.
 
Been checking out some of The Swan Road. So far I really dig the song Fate.

Don't know what to make of the last song yet though..



DRUDKH-tsr.jpg


1. The Eternal Sun
2. Blood
3. Glare of 1768
4. The Price of Freedom
5. Fate
6. Song of Sich Destruction
 
So is that out on CD yet? I don't think I've paid as much attention to updates as I should have. And I still don't have the first Drudkh album WTF!
 
It actually has 7 songs, the first one is called 1648 and is an intro. The mp3 release fucked that up.
 
Just got this from Supernal....

"We are currently awaiting a new master with an added track, so it's been put back. Right now it is uncertain which date exactly, but it will be this month."

I'm assuming that whatever MP3s are floating around are from the vinyl release, but the CD will be made from a new master? Hmm...

Anyway, at least I know that's one CD to buy this month.
 
Ya, the new is really good. Not as good as AA imo. I actually tend to like the last track on AA but it does drag on forever. The new one also has a last song that totally doesnt fit in at all, sounds like a 123 yr old Indian doing some chant-folk song.
 
I disagree. I think that The Swan Road is far better than AA.

I'm not sure if the new one is better than FL though. To me each album seems to evoke a unique feeling.

I think the feeling I get listening to the new Drudkh is more or less similar to that which I feel when I listen to Hate Forest - Battlefields. It's intensely nationalistic and sorrowful.
 
It is still early and I have only listened to it maybe 5 times but AA has a special place in my heart as not many albums can evoke such feelings within me as that album can. Shit, they have only released 3 albums so far and are amongst my favs evar. That''s saying something.

That last track does piss me off though.
