Patriarkh

Batushka debuted brightly in 2015 with the well-received Litourgiya, but then imploded as both members renounced the other and struck out on their own, each claiming and retaining the Batushka name. At some point the courts will figure this out, but for now the original Batushka is considered dormant and the two offshoots will be categorized as separate and new bands, with this Batushka being led by the original vocalist, Bart Krysiuk.

Following a June 2024 court settlement that appears to award naming rights to the other Batushka, Krysiuk announced in September 2024 that he wanted a new beginning and thus starting in 2025 this band would go under the name Patriarkh.

Recent album: Prorok Ilja, released on January 3, 2025.
