The Swan Road

Nocturnal Egg (Jordan)
Sur The Swan Road, Drudkh quitte en partie le milieu du black metal mélancolique amorcé sur Autumn Aurora pour un univers plus patriotique. Le synthé disparaît au profit d'un son plus profond et résonnant, surtout au niveau de la batterie — on le ressent bien sur une piste comme "The Price of Freedom" ou "Eternal Sun", très épiques. Thurios rend honneur à la poésie de Taras Shevchenko avec un chant cadencé. Un album héroïque qui trouve un certain écho avec la situation ukrainienne actuelle...
Favorite track: Blood.

Full of emotions and like Drudkh's other full length albums, should be enjoyed as a whole. It's hard to pick just any one favorite track.
Favorite track: Glare of 1768.

about
DRUDKH are a true underground phenomenon. Due to the great cooperation with Season of Mist the Ukrainians agreed to re-release their complete catalogue on this label, which started in 2009 with the debut "Forgotten Legends" (2003) and its follow-up "Autumn Aurora" (2004). Now DRUDKH’s much sought after third album "The Swan Road" (2005) is made available again by Season of Mist with a carefully restored and remastered sound. This masterwork comes in beautiful digipak edition with new artwork added. "The Swan Road" continues in the spirit of " Autumn Aurora " with the band’s trademark Slavonic Pagan Metal sound, which embraces epic folk-influenced melodies and creates cinematic and luxuriant atmospheres charged with melancholy. Lyrically DRUDKH’s creative figurehead Roman Saenko draws heavily from the poem "The Haidamakas" of Taras Shevchenko (1814-1861), a humanist, painter and the founding father of Ukrainian literature.

I have hundreds of black metal albums in my collection, and Exercises in Futility has outsold them all, making it my most popular Bandcamp purchase. That's no coincidence: Mgła is an elite act, with an extraordinary ability to craft melodies that are heavy yet never overbearing, and always addictive. Playback value never seems to fade, and there's not a weak track on the album. An exceptional black metal release that has stood the test of time and will continue to do so. 10/10.
