PATRIARKH release new music video for ‘ВЕРШАЛИН IV’

PATRIARKH have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track ВЕРШАЛИН IV, is taken from the Polish black metal band’s (formerly known as BATUSHKA) upcoming new album, ПРОРОК ИЛИЯ, which is scheduled to be released in January next year, via Napalm Records.

Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “this is the most oriental sounding song on our new album. The beautiful monody that runs throughout the entire piece is deeply influenced by Greek and Romanian traditions, which are integral to Orthodoxy. In our new music, we aim to showcase different aspects of Orthodoxy. Just as the Prophet Ilja journeyed to Kronsztadt, we traveled far for musical inspiration to create a psalm in honour of the New Jerusalem that our prophet was building.

This song features our long-time singing teacher, Eliza Sacharczuk. We have been collaborating with her since 2016, continuously improving our singing skills through lessons and consultations. Our choice was intentional; Eliza has a truly unique voice. Listen and see for yourself!”
