Гра тіней

Drudkh return with Гра тіней (Shadow Play) and the first thing that strikes me is the punchier, and warmer sound compared to 2022’s All Belong to the Night, the songs are also (despite their length) far more direct and to the point (again as in so much atmospheric blackmetal can be that). There is an urgency I feel I’ve not heard in a while from Drudkh, intertwined with the more expected eerie bleakness that I’ve more come to expect. It’s hard not to think that this sense of urgency isn’t tied to the situation in that part of the world. Over the year this album has grown in stature and has become one of my favorite albums by them, I can only hope they keep releasing albums this good.
