Windswept (UKR) – The Great Cold Steppe 31.03.2017

Windswept (UKR) – The Great Cold Steppe 31.03.2017

Three Ukrainian musician from Drudkh started a new project and written and recorded “The Great Cold Steppe” under three days only without any rehearsals.

The names are initials on this album, but I know that R is Roman Sayenko who is a very talented and known musician in Ukrainian scene. Then K is Krechet who played bass and V is Vlad who played the drums. Counter to the mother band here is not any keyboard just the usual guitar – bass – drums and vocals.

It was a very great idea to create Windswept as it can summon the ancient spirit of Black Metal. Triumphant and atmospheric guitar themes, blastbeat drums and hateful vocals features on this nearly 34 minutes long album. Instead of evil themes, Windswept is natural and cold just the Great Cold Steppe. They are in harmony with the grim forces of nature, like blizzard, storm, frozen trees, ice-cold winds.

Nature can be evil, but evil is natural in nature as in the movie Antichrist said:”Nature is Satan's church”. These are universal and ancient secrets.

The six songs inspired by Eastern land during winter and I think it is so great and beautiful as every winter. The whole album is like a marching, fast and melodic without any resting.

Every instruments can be heard clearly, the sound is good. There is no choice, than to buy this album by Season Of Mist.
