I didn't even know them before seeing the flyer for this show where they were headlining alongside Batushka, whom I was a big fan of. then in the months after buying the ticket as I was delving into their discography, suffice to say, I was quick to fall in love :) awesome band and super glad to have caught them live

It’s never too late to discover good stuff. I’m really happy that you enjoy them.

I think a lot of people might not like thee new album (Shining) because it’s so different from their usual sound, and it’s not quite melo death/doom but I really like this album. Especially after I saw them

And also, do u mean the real Batushka?

I actually quite enjoy Shining! Of course, it stood in stark contrast to the rest of their catalogue when I first gave it a spin, especially for someone that was biniging through it all front to back, but I liked it. And after seeing it live, well, it sealed the deal for me lol, to say the least. My fav is track 3, Under the Moon and Sun.

And of course I mean Derphs Batushka. Do the other ones even count anymore? I'm pretty sure Bart's band only goes by Patriarkh at this point

Seems like we have pretty similar experience. What I have become must be my fav track on the album

And yea, the legal dispute finally got to its end and Bart had to change the name

Oof, that one slaps as well. More of a tribute to their classic death-doom, huh?

Now, this was actually my first ever metal show. I had no idea there was a metal scene where I live, and for over a year have been into metal purely on my own lol. Though I did go through over 300 albums in that time. And I'm seeing Dream Theatre next, in just a couple more weeks. What's your opinion on them?
