BART’S BATUSHKA change their name to PATRIARKH

After a long, long drama, Bartłomiej “Barfolomey” Krysiukof Batushka changes their name Patriarch. The news is coming soon claim that Krisyuk lose against Batushka founder Krzysztof “Derf” Drabikowski over the Batushka name and then Batushka stored teasing their “final shows”.

“Dear Pilgrims, Fans and Friends!” wrote Krisyuk. “As you may have noticed over the past few weeks, we’ve been spreading the word about our latest gigs around the world. The time has come for which we have been preparing for the past few weeks, the time for FINAL CHANGE. .

“For the past two years we have been working on new music, a new album and a new stage. It cost us a lot of sacrifice and effort. With a new musical stage, we decided to start a new chapter. with a brand new band name It’s also the perfect time to focus all your attention on our music and what we have to say through it, rather than the legal or personal battles that have plagued our minds like cancer.

“Now that we see how important it is to many to discredit our hard work and distract from what really matters, our MUSIC, we’ve decided to remove this burden so as not to negate our efforts. We want to completely break away from all of this, completely change the name of the group and start a new chapter for us as individuals and for the group.

“On the other hand, we appreciate how much people appreciate us, the devoted fans we have around the world, and how much we owe you. Therefore, we want to bury all negative emotions, arguments and drama with the old. the name Batushka.

“With new music and a new name, we aim to set a new direction and start a new story. A story that we hope you will join us in building together around the world, because without you, our pilgrims, it has no meaning.

“The change will not happen overnight, this phase will last until the end of the year, during that time prepare for new music, new image, new quality performances that we want to introduce along with the new music.

December 13^th will be a symbolic date. The final farewell concert will take place in Melbourne, Australia Batushka will take place, and we will bury this stage together during the last liturgy.

“Immediately after the new year with a new publication. FATHER: will be born The patriarch, along with the new covenant, will begin his reign and send his prophet into the world. Wait for your new blessing Patriarch and the new Great Orthodoxies.”

Drabikovsky and: Krisyuk broke up in 2018 Drabikovsky charting a way forward Batushka without Krisyuk. after all Krisyuk he was the one who moved forward as Batushka and signed with Metal Blade for a 2019 record To the host. Krisyuk has since signed to Napalm Records for a second release, no Drabikovsky under Batushka name, all on a wide tour.

Drabikovsky continues as Batushka: and released one album under the name Memorial service in 2019, while in the background there was a legal battle over who actually owned it Batushka the name Drabikovsky seems to be going on now as Batushkameanwhile Krisyuk continues as Patriarch.

Then came the final verdict that Drabikovsky owns the name, and that Krisyuk cannot continue as Batushka without Drabikovskypermission from… and here we are. Batushka (about being Patriarch) will play their final dates as Batushka this year, and debut themselves as Patriarch in 2025.
