DRUDKH (Ukr) – ‘The Swan Road’ CD

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. ‘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.
