WINDSWEPT – The Devils Vertep CD

WINDSWEPT is the uncompromising creation of Roman Sayenko (Drudkh) and his long-time collaborators. Formed in 2017, the Ukrainian trio has built its reputation on unfiltered black metal: raw, immediate, and driven by instinct, not calculation.
On The Devils Vertep, WINDSWEPT turn historical testimony into sonic ritual. Inspired by The Black Book of Kremenets Castle (17471777), the album reconstructs the witch trials of 17531754 in Western Ukraine through six movements of stark, visceral black metal. Each composition mirrors the tension of confession and punishment, unfolding from the brutal Infanticide to the harrowing Verdicts. Recorded, mixed, and mastered at Viter Music, the album fuses spontaneous performance with conceptual unity, while Obsidian Bones artwork captures its chilling atmosphere.
