Background information about 'Estrangement'

"Estrangement" marks Drudkh's sixth full-length album, released in 2007. Originally titled "River of Tears," this record encapsulates a minimalistic yet powerful essence, drawing inspiration from the works of Ukrainian poet Oleh Olzhych. This album stands out with its return to using blast beats prominently since their album "The Swan Road." Drudkh's skillful composition creates a soundscape that feels both expansive and intimate, blending traditional black metal elements with subtle pagan influences. The lyrics' poetic depth adds a layer of melancholy reflection, making "Estrangement" a profound experience for listeners.

With tracks such as "Solitary Endless Path" and "Only the Wind Remembers My Name," Drudkh crafts an auditory journey filled with raw emotion and introspection. Each song weaves intricate guitar work with atmospheric undertones, pulling the listener into a realm where nature and solitude converge. This album is a must-listen for fans of bands like Hate Forest and Burzum, showcasing Drudkh's unique ability to balance aggression with serenity.
