Hospodi

Ray Mundo S Great album! An interesting idea to base concept of music on the Liturgy of Death from Orthodox funeral rites. Modern riffs, creative mix of black and doom metal. I am proud that we have such metal bands in Poland :-)

Metal-ur-G The integration of the choral vocals into the doomy black metal makes for a captivating, transcendental listening experience. Like a lot of black metal, difficult to choose a favourite track - the album really needs to be listened to in its entirety to be fully appreciated. Favorite track: Polunosznica.

Jarak I really don't understand the vitriol this album attracts. I wonder how many people deride it because they have taken sides in a dispute they have no connection to, rather than the because of the music itself. As it stands, I quite enjoy this album.

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    JEWELCASE CD + 16 PAGES BOOKLET

    Named after an Old Church Slavonic word for “God,” Hospodi enhances all the unique qualities that made the band such an instant phenomenon, while offering an entirely distinct and fresh sensory experience. The album boasts the most ferocious and bewitching songs the band has penned to date — along with a newfound sense of rock swagger.

    The band has shared the first new track and video for “Polunoszcznica.” Listen and watch here.

    Fiercely conceived and audaciously executed, Hospodi takes the epoch-shattering essence of Batushka’s debut to a new level of idiosyncratic intensity. From the mesmerizing chants of the opening “Wozglas” to the blazing bombast of “Dziewiatyj Czas” and the pulsing, dark rock melodrama of “Wieczernia,” this is an album full of wildly dynamic, divergent moments, wherein the band’s otherworldly, inspirational fervor meets the whip-crack precision of 21st century brutality. Perhaps most importantly, Batushka’s deft conjuring of religion’s synaptic shock ‘n’ awe looms large over every scything riff and bellicose scream. By the time fans reach the overpowering climax of the closing Liturgiya, a true Damascene conversion is practically guaranteed.

    “The whole album is a concept based on the Liturgy of Death, the prayers for the dead, and Orthodox funeral rites and dirges,” said the band. “It’s all about a ritual that involves the dead and the mourners. We also used a lot of old folk songs and elegies from our homeland. These are sung during the wake, around the casket, in the deceased person’s home. Nowadays only a few older people know them and still sing them accordingly in our region. We decided to cherish that tradition and I’m glad that with our album these songs and rites will survive.”

    “Wozglas”
