BATUSHKA
Hospodi (color LP)

Reissue 2026 on Back on Black

Double LP, red vinyl

 

  • Back on Black is proud to announce the comprehensive reissue of Hospodi (Church Slavonic for "Lord"), the second full-length album from the Polish black metal phenomenon, Batushka.
  • Initially released in 2019, Hospodi represents a more polished, melodic, and theatrical evolution of the band's signature, ritualistic sound.
  • Based on the Eastern Orthodox "Liturgy of Death" and traditional funeral rites, the album is a thematic journey through death and judgment.
  • This reissue brings back the ten-track masterpiece, which blends traditional black metal (tremolo riffs, ferocious blast beats) with haunting choirs, atmospheric ambient interludes, and profound Slavic chants.

"The idea of Interwoven—an acoustic journey tracing one song from each chapter of our discography—was first envisioned on the very day UADA was conceived: October 1st, 2014. In those early conversations, when I laid out the future I sought to create, and recall sharing the concept of a stripped, atmospheric interpretation, supported by the haunting resonance of strings—cello or violin. At the time, the notion was met with skepticism, perhaps even dismissal. Yet it was an idea I knew would one day take form. It had to.

UADA has always drawn from a wide spectrum of influences—many of which extend far beyond the traditional boundaries of black metal. With Interwoven, we sought to peel back the layers and reveal the vastness of these realms; to immerse the listener in both the foreign and the familiar, in textures that challenge and comfort in equal measure.

More than a sonic experiment, this album was a deliberate act of vulnerability. It was a personal and collective trial—a chance to step outside the acquainted shadows and embrace the uncertain light. The earliest intent was to craft something primitive and ritualistic, echoing the ancestral tones of ancient Pagan folk. Vocally, we anticipated a palette of whispers, chants, and throat singing. There was never a plan to explore clean, melodic singing—until an improvised vocal passage in Djinn revealed something unexpected. That unscripted moment sparked the foundation of what would become this album. With the band’s enthusiastic support, the recording process began—without a script, without rehearsal, and with full commitment to spontaneity and truth."

OLD WAINDS - Stormheart
Pre order

OLD WAINDS
Stormheart

NORTHTRIP AMONG THE STORMS…

Active since 1995 and with 5 previous full-lengths under their belts, Russian OLD WAINDS are back on the frozen field.

Picking up where they left off with their previous album, the predominantly fast-paced “Stormheart” reveals itself as ice-cold, yet melancholic and introspective at the same time. Driven by stunning guitar work, completely devoid of unnecessary gimmicks and vocals slightly distorted, OLD WAINDS delivered one of the best Black Metal albums of the last couple of years.

Mastered by Jack Control and Maor Appelbaum.

Dark Nordic Metal from the icy wastes of Murmansk.

Grim, cold and majestic as it should be…

Digipak-CD with UV-varnish, 16-page booklet

PURE WRATH - Bleak Days Ahead
Pre order

PURE WRATH
Bleak Days Ahead

Comes with a 2-page insert and a download card. Pressed on grey/black marble effect heavy vinyl. Colors on final record may vary to a degree from the mockup.

PURE WRATH were formed 2014 in West Java, Indonesia as the anguished, atmospheric and affecting Black Metal project of multi-instrumentalist Januaryo Hardy.

Fourth full-length "Bleak Days Ahead" builds wonderfully upon the panoramic and poignant melodies of 2022's wounded "Hymn to the Woeful Hearts". Utilising a more 'live' and separated production, the band and guests have dialled back the cinematics and upped the dynamics - allowing a varied sound palette including organ, mellotron, throat singing, piano and saxophone to express the sadness in high-functioning depression and the suffocating routines of modern life.

OLD WAINDS
Where the Snows are Never Gone…

250 x galaxy milky clear black vinyl

Grim, barbaric, ice-cold blackness from beyond the Arctic Circle.

Murmansk is a Russian city situated north of the Arctic Circle near the Norwegian and Finnish borders. It’s not only notorious for its extremely harsh and long winters but also for being home to one of Russia’s oldest and most significant Black Metal bands – OLD WAINDS.
Arisen from the icy plains in 1995, founder Morok aided by a variety of members throughout the horde’s 30 years of existence managed to produce a remarkable discography. Unaffected by fleeting fashion and with disregard for public exposure three demos, one split album with NAV and five full length albums filled to the brim with barbaric hymns of no-nonsense Black Metal were up to this point spawned under the banner of OLD WAINDS.

Hot on the heels of OLD WAINDS’ latest album Stormheart on Darkness Shall Rise we are extremely thrilled to hereby present long overdue reissues of some glorious titles of their early catalogue.

Often mistakenly considered a second demo tape, Where the Snows are Never Gone…, conceived and released in 1997, is OLD WAINDS’ first full-length album. The eight songs whose titles and lyrics apart from the opener are all written in Cyrillic show the band at their most barbaric and unhinged. Musically following in the footsteps of early Norwegian classics, the material sees these mad savages annihilating everything in their way. Those inhuman vocals must also rank among the most insane and hate-filled ever.
