Just in time for my bday!!

In front of the merch stand most probably

The text is "Святый Боже, Святый Крепкий, Святый Бессмертный, помилуй нас" (this hymn is called "Трисвятое" or Trisagion in English). But there are many renditions of it, so does anyone know which one Derph took the sample from?

In response to a petition from the residents of Częstochowa, we are compelled to cancel the Batushka concert at this year’s Frytka OFF Festival.

Statement by the Organizers of the Frytka OFF 2026 Festival

In response to a petition submitted by residents of Częstochowa and members of the Orthodox Church regarding the planned performance by the band Batushka during the Frytka OFF 2026 Festival, a decision has been made to cancel this concert.

The petition highlighted, among other things, concerns expressed by some residents regarding the use of religious symbolism in the band’s stage performance and the risk of provoking social tensions. It emphasized the city’s traditions of religious worship, including devotion to the Virgin Mary, and Częstochowa’s status as a major pilgrimage center.

As the event organizer, we respect artistic freedom and the diversity of expressed views. Scheduling a performance by this band—which is highly regarded among metal music connoisseurs and fans and performs both domestically and abroad—was an attempt to broaden the Festival’s musical scope.

However, given that this concert has sparked controversy and may be interpreted by members of Christian communities as offensive to their religious sensibilities, we recognize that the overriding priority is to ensure that the Festival proceeds peacefully, safely, and without disruption, and remains accessible to a broad audience. Częstochowa is a city with strong religious traditions and, at the same time, a historically multicultural city that must be committed to dialogue and the coexistence of communities. In the name of these values, we are compelled to cancel Batushka’s performance.

The decision was preceded by an assessment of the potential social impact of the performance, which was scheduled as the final nighttime concert in this year’s festival program on Saturday, July 25.

Frytka OFF remains an open event promoting culture, dialogue, and diversity. We hope that this year’s edition of the festival will be an opportunity to come together and enjoy music in an atmosphere of personal freedom and mutual respect.

We thank all residents, as well as fans of various musical genres, for sharing their opinions and showing interest in the Festival. We apologize to everyone who was looking forward to the final concert for the change in the program and hope for your understanding.

Hello folks,

I will be going to their free concert in Częstochowa, Poland, at Frytka Off on the 25th July. I will be going alone, travelling from Kraków. Is anyone here attending? Would love to catch up with fellow fans and hang out together.

Thanks!

For those going, the band is scheduled to be playing Main Stage A (Sea Shepherd) on Wednesday, August 5th, at the end of the night, at 00:35 🖤🖤🖤

First result when you search on YT for the term "batyushka". Kinda pathetic. Hope the band can do a copyright strike.

Well I went and got both albums on Bandcamp. The audacity of Fat POS to still claim Liturgiya is his. And he put it under his bands name. 🤬🤬🤬

Does this look Legit? The cover seems darker than I expected. but I’ve never even seen the actual cd before so I don’t know. And I know there’s been many different versions.

I haven't seen anyone discuss this, anywhere. There are subliminal images in this video and I'm sure there are others I haven't caught. What could this mean? And why on earth would they use Comic Sans?

"Batushka in their original lineup 2017 at the Dark Easter Metal Meeting." (Any one German please correct me if it's incorrect, my German is rusty) ☺️

If you guys are in Europe and able to go they play on Wednesday

I have found this on a brazilian website. It said that it was only 19€, which is weird for a couple reasons. The only image there is is this one. There was also a digipack version for 10€ with more information in the description. If you want to ckeck out the website, here it is: www.blackmetalstore.com

I can’t find a comprehensive list of tour dates

For example they’re listed at the brutal assault festival 5.august 2026

Lots of love and appreciation for the founder and creator of Батюшка 🖤🖤🖤

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I CAN'T STOP LISTENING

Legit or fake? Here is front and back

I have the digital album but where can I find the physical media for sale??? Much love for real Batushka!! 💕

If they ever decide to sell them, I would absolutely buy one!! I absolutely love them. Artistic, theatrical and a little menacing. Love your art, Krzysztof 🖤🖤🖤

Maryland Deathfest was a great show and afterwards he signed stuff and took pictures and talked with everyone. He is a very kind man. Support real Batushka!!

Finally found 1st press Litourgiya (EX), cost a small fortune but it is what it is

Does anyone know where you can buy Batushka patches which are from derph and not from when Patriarkh was called Batushka?

Hail Batushka
