Trying to find tabs from the litourgia album and I know they play it on 8 strings but its impossible to find a proper transcription of what they play, songsterr and others have weird tunings on 6s and odd ways to play it so I was wondering where others find the tabs to 1,3,4 for example, thank you!
If I had to guess, it will go public on december 16th (the day faketushka will officially change their name).
The announcement here (in Finnish) claims it will be Drabikowski's "own and original Batushka". However the announcement also mentions "Царю Небесный" as their latest album, but that's in fact fake Batushka's aka Patriarkh's album, right? Also, I can't seem to find any mention about this gig in Draibowski's own Instagram for example. And if I remember correctly, last time Hellsinki Metal Festival had Batushka in their lineup it was the fake one, but I could be wrong about this.
is there somewhere to see where their shows will be held? and just saying but any way to let them know if they could perform somewhere! been wanting them to play near me but gosh it doesnt seem like it
I am incredibly confused by this matter. I know that Krzysztof won in securing the legal rights and intellectual property of Batushka. And since Litourgiya was recorded under the Batushka name, how come Patriarkh uploaded the album in their bandcamp? Could someone clarify this for me?
What is up with the whole obsession with orthodox christian things? The costumes they wear are blasphemous portrayals of schema monks, they dismorph icons, they bring incensers, litourgiya is a church thing (when they take holy communion) and ive heard they sing in old church slavonic, which was a language used primarily for the slavic churches... Why do they do this? It feels extremely blaaphemous i hope its not.
Earlier today someone posted about selling their Batushka collection in this subreddit. That person was a scammer. Please do not send them money! I have removed the post and banned the offender.
Sorry if this sparks any controversy but it’s my favourite album so I’m sad I can’t listen to it :( I can’t find a single physical copy of it that won’t run me over £100
Will it come back once the legal disputes are sorted out? Or is it just gone forever
Thanks you any help
Glad to see (the real) Batuskha playing big metal festivals again. Is this also kinda a confirmation that a new album is coming in 2025?
Any help appreciated this is a huge deal for me cause istg nothing comes to new zealand and somehow I just found this out. I always heard u could tell with the spelling but honestly i have zero clue still
Sounds like some kind of tremolo-delay but I’m not sure, all the covers on YouTube miss that part.
My friend recommended Batushka to me, I searched it on spotify and Patriakah showed up? I listened to their albums and liked it and found the reddit and turns out theres something called Faketushka? Is there another Batushka? Am I listening to the right one? Whats going on? Sorry Im new lol
Istanbul concert was amazing thanks for everything!!!
From the Istanbul concert
Just wanted to show appreciation.
I think this was the best concert I've ever been to. The atmosphere this band brought was in-fucking-sane and I enjoyed every second of it to the fullest. There genuinely wasn't a single moment where I got bored or tired. It felt really magical and I really really REALLY hope I see them again at any point of my life.
Thank you :)
