Drudkh Blood in our Wells (Кров у Наших Криницях) [CD]

Brutal reissue by Season of Mist, featuring fully remastered audio along with completely new artwork, of “Blood in Our Wells”, the impressive fourth album by Ukrainian band Drudkh, which continues the evolution shown in their previous works and expands their approach towards a more dynamic and melodic sound while preserving the strong connection to nature and tradition that defines the band. Inspired by texts from Ukrainian poets such as Taras Shevchenko, Oleksandr Oles and Lina Kostenko, the record reinforces its cultural and literary dimension, combining contemplative passages with moments of greater intensity without losing atmospheric cohesion. Compared to the more grounded approach of “The Swan Road”, the sound here recaptures part of the epic breadth of their earlier works, shaping a deeply evocative album that has become one of the most celebrated titles in their discography and a reference point within European atmospheric black metal.
