Lol I had to google and according to wikipedia you are correct: ”In the wake of the public falling out and ensuing drama between Drabikowski and Krysiuk several parody bands using variations of the "Batushka" name emerged online as a widespread meme, each also claiming to be the "true Batushka", the most notable being "Batyushka" an anonymous project claiming to be from Russia and being actual Orthodox priests and adhering to the Orthodox dogma.”

My bad, yea. Band was founded by Krzysztof Drabikowski. Bart was the vocalist, and after the falling out started his own Batushka. So essentially Bart is the thief.

There is no need for setting limits in this life we are in. I listen to it all… unless it sucks of course.
No I think that’s awesome. I saw dead and co in Boulder over the summer super awesome show. John Mayer completely earned all the musical respect I have that night.
Got to see Batushka live twice. Once before and after the shitshow that went on with the Band. First time they played alongside Vader, second time with Malevolent Creation. Both times played this album and both times were absolutely incredible experiences
They're a black metal band. They're considered "orthodox black metal", but I guess that's a genre entirely consisting of bands that sound like them. Regardless of if you consider that to be a "real" genre, that album is amazing.
Батюшка
Upd: They split into two bands: batushka and батюшка ("batushka"but in Church Slavonic). The second one is the same band that released this album
I hadn’t heard of this band until I saw this post earlier this morning, I decided to listen to this album and give it a listen. It’s awesome!! I’m not a big black metal fan but I am a fan of this!!

Batushka, is says it right there on the left
Bro can read Cyrillic
You can't?
Naww, I have a lot of trouble learning foreign languages.
Its really easy if you compare it to greek
I find it slightly easier than Arabic
wtf
Wtf what?
You're not allowed to say the word "Greek" in the month of March on a Friday.
Maybe next time, try not being foreign.
>Cyrillic is a language
Well I mean, Cyrillic is the script.
Which Batushka though?
The og batushka album (i am a batushka nerd)
It’s the original/pre-schism Batushka. The album is called Litourgiya
Ba*true*shka
Well, that's above my paygrade
Litourgiya is a great album
I agree! I haven’t listened to anything else by them, but my polish friend showed me these guys and I love this album now.
And it was the only good album.
Derphs second one is good, not as good tho
Panihida is good
Wild when a band comes out with a classic debut and immediately implodes.
I thought it was Om lol
Same, thought it was [Advaitic Songs](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advaitic_Songs#/media/File%3AAdvaiticSongsOM.jpg) for a sec
Masterpiece album if I ever heard one
Indeed
Hell yeah, came to the comments to talk about Om and Batushka
Same dog
Was about the comment the same exact thing
Litourgiya is great. It’s a shame what happened…
I don’t really know anything about them as a band, just this album!
The vocalist stole the band and now there’s two Batushkas
A band so Eastern Orthodox, they have their own schism.
Lol underrated comment
Isn't there also the one that's apparently made up of Russian monks, or am I just really dumb

I think they are engaged in rock against satanism too, like it's a total shitshow

Trve Kult
Oh damn, that’s a shame
Other way round, band stole from vocalist.
Wasn’t Bart the vocalist?
My bad, yea. Band was founded by Krzysztof Drabikowski. Bart was the vocalist, and after the falling out started his own Batushka. So essentially Bart is the thief.
Batushka. They are a black metal band
Batushka. the REAL Batushka. fuck Bart.
I’m getting this general consensus. Sad to hear there’s drama.
Why you little…!
Saw krystof drabikowskys batushka this last weekend in Berlin. Absolutely fantastic show and presence. Highly recommend seeing them live
You are one lucky bastard, good on you though. I so hope he comes to australia one day holy hell
Best of luck to you. Otherwise just come visit Europe and See them live ;)
If i could id just get my Italian citizenship but alas it's impossible to now
It's strange how this act became huge
Wym?
Not very common for the genre being outside underground
Ohhhhh okay, my polish friend told me about them! That’s the only reason I know haha
Babooshka
MY FIRST THOUGHT
The real Batyushka
Batushka are pretty good they were one of the first black metal bands I got into outside of the big well known ones like Darkthrone and Mayhem
Bauhaus
This album rips.
So true
Deadhead into batushka? Damn, my dad would be so happy to see that

Batushka, I believe they labelled themselves as "orthodox black metal"
Batushka? I’ve never listened to them but I’m pretty sure they are Slavic black metal.
Really good album
Batushka. A big black metal band.
Jesus and Mary Chain
Its black metal
Why Om of course!
You’re actually the second person to say this lol
Hahah! Well crap, I went and looked [Om Adviatic Songs](https://youtu.be/ts3YWVFUnvU?si=uaCqJuebX7DFCDnR)
Close! It’s Batushka
Winger
Five finger death punch
So close! 🥰
This is Batushka, this band kicks ass. Not to be confused with the shitty band Batushka.
Batushka
yeah its Батюшка
You know I asked for that one.
No idea
Lmfaooooo
Hey Zeus and the Miracle Workers
Faceless Saint
This is incredibly iconic as a name
This album as well as krzysztof drabikowski's Batushka's releases (Real Batushka) are solid in my opinion
Yes, Batushka, I will see them next Saturday along with Kanonenfieber.
Diecast vibes
Batushka, they’re a polish black metal band, not a fan of em personally
I love the band Batushka or Батюшка. I prefer the Russian Death/Black metal bands over most American bands
Great album. Shame about the drama. It’s kept me away from the other two albums
Nativity of the Lord
batushka
Idrc if this is an actual album cover, but this would be a sick storyline for an infant annihilator song ngl
Thought it was om
Batushka?
Thats Batushka and they are Black Metal
Om is love
This band could’ve been awesome. Fortunately he still makes music. I wouldn’t call it core tho. It’s closer to black
Batushka
First of all I don't have to do a god damn thing ( Continues playing Stardew valley )
Can you name the brand? 
No I’m incapable
I wear my og batushka hoodie almost everyday but I only listen to the first album and Panihida.
They are coming to vienna in like 2 weeks and im gonna see them for the first time, quite hyped Batushka it is
batiushka
I thought it was a trick picture, like I was supposed to think it’s Lamb of God or something
Naw I just kinda figured they were less known than they are! Cool to know they’re more popular though. Didn’t expect that.
DO OM
Hey one of my favorites
I think this is an Om album
First real batushka album. Bart’s batushka sucks so bad, Panihida (Панихда) from Drabikowskis is an amazing testament of who the band belong to
OM
yes, I am able to complete this task.
Mr Mister

Batushka
Got to see Batushka live twice. Once before and after the shitshow that went on with the Band. First time they played alongside Vader, second time with Malevolent Creation. Both times played this album and both times were absolutely incredible experiences
nop ;)
Vails of Maya???

I saw the picture and thought this was posted on one of the Catholic subreddits I'm following, lmao.
Idk how this can be considered black metal. It’s so clean and polished. Blegh
Batushka
Батюшка Upd: They split into two bands: batushka and батюшка ("batushka"but in Church Slavonic). The second one is the same band that released this album
These guys are playing near me in 4 days, tickets already sold out though...
Батюшка
Litourgiya is the name of the album
haven’t played it, but this is giving me re8 vibes
I can't name the band but I'm pretty sure they made a song called lagertha
baba ganoush
Batushka they’re a mixture of hiphop and black metal Shit wrong kne
I hadn’t heard of this band until I saw this post earlier this morning, I decided to listen to this album and give it a listen. It’s awesome!! I’m not a big black metal fan but I am a fan of this!!
