Polish black metal band PATRIARKH, previously known as
Batushka and led by singer Bartłomiej Krysiuk, has released a new single titled
“ВЕРШАЛИН II” (Lat. WIERSZALIN II) as part of their conceptual
album ПРОРОК ИЛИЯ (Lat. PROROK ILJA), set to be released on January 3,
2025, via Napalm Records. The track fuses heavy doom metal with black metal,
featuring folk instruments, haunting choirs, and emotive string arrangements,
accompanied by growls that create an intense atmosphere. The upcoming album,
consisting of eight tracks, tells the true story of Eliasz Klimowicz, the
Prophet Ilja, against the dramatic backdrop of the 1930s and ‘40s, blending
historical themes with Eastern Orthodox traditions. Following their successful
previous album, Hospodi (2019), PATRIARKH continues to tour extensively and
expand their musical narrative. In a statement, the band described “ВЕРШАЛИН II” as exploring themes of revelation, emphasizing
the role of the Mother of God in connection with the prophet's mission. Pre-orders
for the album are now available.
