Review

Songs Of Grief And Solitude is a rather peculiar item in Drudkh's discography, being an entirely acoustic and almost fully instrumental work, with no metal elements in it whatsoever. Every track is a down-hearted, melancholic paean to some dark and beautiful folk tale, and the music on offer paints a picture of grassy highlands, wooden shacks, and campfire stories with bitter, bloody conclusions. In the way the guitars are played, you can hear the strains of their more relaxing take on summery Black Metal, the kind of thing that graced albums such as Autumn Aurora, and no matter how you look at it, this is still the sound of the Ukrainian mystery at work. - 4/5
