Drudkh - Sign To Season Of Mist


Season of Mist is proud to announce the freshly inked deal the label signed with play Slavonic heathen metal band Drudkh. Their cinematic, folk-influenced music focuses on a strong atmosphere with a lot of feeling, and the lyrical contents are about nature mysticism, seasons, philosophy, Ukrainian mythology, legends and history. Many of the band's lyrics are derived from the works of nineteenth and twentieth centuries Ukrainian poets.

Drudkh decided to issue this one public statement only. They will also in future stick to their general rule, which means that Drudkh will not be giving interviews nor make use of any internet platform:

"During all its history, the band followed a 'no photos, no interviews, no website, no gigs' policy, which was nobly accepted by Drudkh's new label Season of Mist. The absence of any comments or information from Drudkh's side gave an opening to a few ignorant internet warrior-fans to spread rumors, that the band embraces some extreme political views. This is absolutely misleading and a total profanation, since there is nothing in Drudkh's music or lyrics that would suggest any political outlook. Drudkh praise individualism, self-improvement and estrangement from modern values."

Drudkh's upcoming album, whose title will be announced shortly, is set to an early 2009 release.

Hmm, I didn't know Drudkh had a policy like that. I've heard two songs off their debut album, both of which are nice. I respect their policy of them being on the down-low like that.

Per the quote above,

"The absence of any comments or information from Drudkh's side gave an opening to a few ignorant internet warrior-fans to spread rumors, that the band embraces some extreme political views. This is absolutely misleading and a total profanation, since there is nothing in Drudkh's music or lyrics that would suggest any political outlook."

seems they are not NSBM - while members might have their own philosophies in other projects, Drudkh remains free from politicization.

hopefully this (signing to Seasons of Mist) means their works - particularly some of their prior efforts - might more easily be found Stateside.
