Known for their intense live shows that blend crushing black metal with the haunting ritualism of Eastern Orthodox liturgy, Batushka’s distinct visual and auditory experience has left an indelible mark on fans around the world.
Since their formation in 2015, Batushka has continuously pushed the boundaries of black metal, incorporating Slavic spirituality, orthodox chanting, and deep atmospherics into their music. Their debut album, Litourgiya, became an instant cult classic, widely hailed for its bold experimentation and religious symbolism. Over the years, they have amassed a loyal following, enthralled by their mysterious stage presence, complete with monks’ robes, incense, and iconography.
Now, after nearly a decade of redefining the genre, Batushka invites you to witness their final performance—an unforgettable night filled with the energy, emotion, and raw power that has come to define their sound. Fans can expect an immersive setlist that spans their career, accompanied by a full ritualistic performance to honour the band’s legacy.
This is more than just a concert; it’s a ceremony, one last chance to experience the profound impact of Batushka.
Join us in paying tribute to a band that has redefined black metal and left an indelible legacy. The curtain falls, and the candles will be extinguished, but the echoes of their hymns will reverberate forever.
