Lol double album!

And double comment!

well said

Metalblade are not giving up yet...

Ironic that one of the biggest reasons for all this drama was the fact that the guitarist wasn't fast enough with writing the second album, while he eventually ended up releasing his album before the singer's.

I can't believe metal blade got into this shitstorm and the music isnt even decent, I mean, are we serious ? This shit is way below average, one of the most uninspired albums I heard in some time.

Can't stress enough how boring, uninspired this music is, it's beyond comprehension a label would got involved in some diva drama over this piece of shit of music

Ok so are people just downvoting this because of the band drama or does it actually suck? I'm probably not going to listen regardless but I'm kinda curious as to whether or not people are just reacting emotionally here or are actually basing their ratings off of having listened to the thing and deciding it's really low quality.

Probably fueled a lot by the drama, but having listened to a few of the promo tracks, shit is bland as fuck regardless.

You're much better off listening to the other Batushka one.

I dont know if It was directed at me, but for what is worth, I really didnt think anything special of the other release

But man, this one is pretty horrible, almost all songs have intros, some church like choirs. It's like Bart really thought he could get away with just this gimmick and barely any music to back It up

Overall it's pretty impressive how bland this album is, makes the other guy look like Mozart himself

Can't give higher score under any circumstances

Well, I actually liked the album a lot. Doesn't have to be the best songwriting ever, I like the atmosphere and the sound texture in this album , that made it enjoyable to me. I'll se after some more listens if I stick to it, but I like it for now.

It seems like a lot of peple is downvoting... I personally have't heard a single song from both bands( I am Polish so news hits me like it or not) = It seems like I have to be an honest judge here.... will give it a go to both albums and reply back.

Even ignoring the drama, it's still a pretty boring album. Not that I enjoyed Panihida much either, but it's better and more consistent than this drivel. I'll just stick with Litourgiya, thanks.

Yes, yes and yes.

Litourgiya was very, very good. The real drama to me is that after the split, neither albums are remotely enjoyable (to me).

This album is complete garbage. It is evident who the true creator and backbone of Batushka's music is!

Both albums are 'ok' but i like the whole liturgy of death concept on 'Hospodi' so it is a bit better album imo
Panihida 6.5/10
Hospodi 7.5/10

I don't care for 'who did what drama', i don't down vote albums for that reason and then say it's rubish because i support the other Batushka = don't listen to it than don't vote!

Looks like a copy of the late dimmu borgir, not the original Batushka. Complete parody! Listen to the reefs! Parody of black metal. Listen to Christoph's album and see the mast-creator in all the music of the original Batushka ... A horrible picture is these guys trying to steal the "Batushka"

It just sounds like crap. This is not what Batushka should sound like and it is not even music I would listen to. I tried my hardest but couldn't even manage through five songs, so it could be better towards the end, but this is some bland garbage.

Some of it is bog-standard black metal and the Orthodox elements are not as well-integrated as they were on Litourgiya, so it does give the impression of somebody trying to cover the gaps in songwriting by continuing the gimmick.

Still, there are some pretty good songs on this album. I'm not sure I believe that it's so bland or even awful that it deserves the low score it currently has - at its worst, it's mediocre black metal, and it can do a lot better than that at times.

Granted, this is not the Batushka to side with and I don't intend to support the album or the sham band in any way, but I'm not hearing any purely musical justification for the intense disparagement.

It just doesn't say anything that was said on the other albums, especially on Litourgiya. To me, this is (a little below) average black metal dressed up with ortodox church choirs and religious imagery, rather than a proper fusion with the orthodox salmodic music itself, that Litourgiya provided with such a good quality.
