8 string batushka guitar tabs?

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!

Do you think this will be the real Batushka at Hellsinki Metal Festival Winter Edition?

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.

Litourgiya - a Batuskha or Patriarkh album?

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?

Im not a batushka fan nor a hater and i want to learn

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.

PSA

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.

Will Litourgiya be back on Spotify?

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

Batushka will be playing Motocultor Festival next year.

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?

Anybody have some idea how to play the intro to Yekteniya IV?

Sounds like some kind of tremolo-delay but I’m not sure, all the covers on YouTube miss that part.

Concert in Tbilisi

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 :)
