Batushka (Bart version) Shares New Single and Video for “Wieczernia”


Polish Black Metal collective Batushka (Bart version) has shared a new single and video for a new song ‘Wieczernia’. You can watch the clip below. The track comes from their upcoming new album Hospodi, due out July 12th via Metal Blade Records. The band appeared at last weekend in the UK at Download Festival on Saturday 15th June. Worldwide headline tour announcements to follow.

The band will release its sophomore album Hospodi through Metal Blade Records on 12th July. The album is available for pre-order here: https://batushka.lnk.to/hospodi

The band comments:

The whole album is a concept based on the Liturgy of Death, the prayers for the dead, and Orthodox funeral rites and dirges. It’s all about a ritual that involves the dead and the mourners. We also used a lot of old folk songs and elegies from our homeland. These are sung during the wake, around the casket, in the deceased person’s home. Nowadays only a few older people know them and still sing them accordingly in our region. We decided to cherish that tradition and I’m glad that with our album these songs and rites will survive.”
