Eternal Turn of the Wheel (Вічний оберт колеса)

Last copies available of the spectacular limited digipack edition of “Eternal Turn of the Wheel”, the notable ninth studio album by Ukrainian band Drudkh, which marks a partial return to more familiar atmospheric black metal territory after the more ethereal experimentation of their previous work, restoring a stronger presence of distorted guitars and a more solemn, melancholic atmosphere, with more compact compositions and a balance between restrained aggression and melody, repetitive riffs unfolding organically and evoking the passing of the seasons as well as the constant cycle of nature. Compared to the more shoegaze-oriented approach of “Handful of Stars”, the sound here returns to a dimension closer to their roots, albeit with clearer production and a mature compositional focus, shaping a cohesive and evocative work that reaffirms Drudkh’s identity and their ability to evolve without losing their naturalistic essence.
