Drudkh
Drudkh is a Ukrainian black metal band. They were formed by Roman Saenko, prolific metal musician, the leading member of Hate Forest, Dark Ages and Blood of Kingu; Thurios, the leading member of Astrofaes and, with Saenko, a former member of Hate Forest; and Yuriy Synytsky, of Lucifugum (session drummer) and Definition Sane. Their lyrical contents embrace Slavic mythology, seasons and poetry. Many of the band's lyrics are derived from the works of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Ukrainian poets, especially Taras Shevchenko.
Drudkh have been particularly secretive throughout the course of their career, even for a black metal band, giving no interviews and not releasing the lyrics to several of their albums. They have also disavowed radical politics. From their conception until 2009, Drudkh did not have any official website, but in May 2009 Season of Mist launched an official Myspace, operated not by bandmates, but by workers of the label.
History
Drudkh have released nine albums and two EPs on the English extreme metal record label Supernal Music. All albums (with the exception of the EP) have also been released on vinyl through two Finnish black metal labels, Northern Heritage and Faustian Distribution.

Ars Poetica
by: DrudkhБути німим, безпристрасним, як завжди зачинені двері.
Бути забутим, як стара статуя в маленькім місті.
Знати кохання каменя лиш, непрозоре каменя серце,
І в чорно-білих світлотінях бачити світ...
...Шукати лиш суть, лиш обрій буття шукати - суть буття.
Відчувати простір, літ чорних птахів далеко.
Відчувати час: чіткі рисунки в чорних печерах,
