Stardust NYC, together with Metal Injection, are extremely proud to present an evening of ritualistic madness from one of black metal's biggest sensations, Batushka, on August 15th at Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY. This will undoubtably be a night to remember, as Batushka performs their dark spells of mystery and awe in North America for the first time ever!
Containing 8 unknown members, the band centers themselves in an obscure monastic sect of orthodox christianity known as the Schema monks. A very cryptic, death-obsessed part of christianity that has pagan roots. Beyond this, we still don't know much about the band or the identity of the musicians involved. What I could tell you is this will be your opportunity to witness their debut masterpiece, Litourgiya, come to life for the first, and possibly only time, in the North East United States. So grab your tickets now!
Stardust NYC organizer, Stefan Raduta, comments on the band arriving to NY for the first time:
"Needless to say, I am very proud and thrilled to present this exclusive and long-awaited first performance on North American soil by Batushka under the Stardust NYC banner. It’s a next level event for me personally, and for this platform aimed exactly at presenting such rare and special performances for the local scene. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity, and I can say with confidence that it will be one of the most hypnotic and memorable rituals of 2018 in this beautiful city of ours. Thank you all for the support, see you in August!”
