艺人介绍

来自乌克兰著名的fast primitive black metal乐团Hate Forest的两名成员组成了这支乐团。

成军于02年，Drudkh在梵语中就是树木的意思，乐队其实也就是Roman的一个个人计划，因为他几乎负责的乐队的全部乐器，另外Roman在乌克兰的黑金圈中也是个响当当的人物，

他的两个分身乐队Hate Forest和Dark Ages也都是乌克兰黑金黑氛围中的中坚力量.在Drudkh的音乐中，能够强烈感受到Burzum的影响：宏伟，庄严，原始，向大自然致敬!。

在目前一大片depressive black metal乐团中，Drudkh是非常出色的一支，梦幻般的键盘无时无刻不带来一种强烈的氛围感。乐队将其受到古老斯拉夫文化以及异族宗教影响的灵感注入到音乐当中，给听者带来广阔的遐想空间。对自然的赞美与热爱是Drudkh永恒的主题，似乎也像是此类depressive black metal乐队的一贯特点。

Maintaining a certain sense of mystery in black metal is hardly a novel idea, but even the Ukraine's Drudkh (Sanskrit for &wood&) take it to a somewhat more puzzling extreme, not printing lyrics in a majority of their released work, being shown in photos, or granting any interviews at all. Formed in Kharkiv in 2002, the project was begun by Hate Forest and Dark Ages member Roman Saenko (guitars and bass), fellow Hate Forest member and Astrofaes vocalist and keyboardist Thurios, and Lucifugum member Yuriy Sinitsky (drums and keyboards). The band drew some criticism from some quarters for embracing arguably &nationalistic& causes, but Drudkh argued that they were merely acting in a politically and culturally &conservative& manner -- however that may be interpreted is up to the beholder. Political leanings aside, the band surely was responsible for furthering the ideals of Ukrainian culture and mythology through a atmospheric black metal filter, featuring folk-based music with direct and indirect lyrical inspiration from some of their nation's most prominent poets, such as Taras Shevchenko.

Their first album -- Forgotten Legends -- first emerged from the band in early 2003. An expansive record, it acted as the blueprint for album number two, Autumn Aurora, which was released in 2004. The main difference this time around, however, was the use of markedly less traditional instruments, such as electronic keyboards and synthesizers. While Drudkh were notorious for not printing their lyrics, as mentioned above, they did make the texts of their next album, 2005's The Swan Road, available, due in all probability to the fact that all of the album's words were taken -- in some measure -- from the poet Shevchenko. More Ukrainian poets -- in addition to more Shevchenko -- were featured on album number four, 2006's Blood in Our Wells, which -- like much of the band's work -- was released on the Supernal label.

While releasing two albums in one year may seem like a relic from rock & roll days past, Drudkh managed exactly that in 2006, pairing the more progressive black metal-leaning Blood in Our Wells with October of that year's next collection, the decidedly Ukrainian folk record Songs of Grief and Solitude. There was no need to raise a fuss about the lack of lyrics on the latter album of 2006, as it had no lyrics. Featuring a myriad of wind instruments and minimal percussion, the album marked a departure from the more traditional aspects of even a genre as malleable as black metal. A limited (999 copies) edition EP followed in 2007 -- entitled Anti-Urban -- which marked for the band a return to more &metal& territory, and 2007 also saw the release of a full-length album, Estrangement. Again, the band, which kept a fairly steady and full work schedule, was back in the studio soon after the album's release to work on album number seven.
