The conflicted and neverending tale of Batushka is on our mutual minds yet again. Exactly. None other than these guys. This here crew covered the machinations around this act until around the end of 2019. That was the time when both accusers headed to court in earnest. And boy, do the legal mills run slowly back in Poland. It has taken both iterations of Batushka and their angry, fearless leaders eons to find some closure. If one can call that closure at all, that is.

RockmusicRaider - Most Popular Posts

Howdy fans and friends!

A long while ago, the RMR deck crew issued that first attempt at glory. A list of most popular posts. Those that stuck with the audience, appreciation expressed through the sheer force of a great many clicks.

Since our last measurement, things changed dramatically and RockmusicRaider progressed further down that road to blog nirvana. In other words, from being totally on the outskirts of the metal music blogosphere, we find ourselves today at least somewhat more center stage. So, compared to our first attempt, there’s a tad more oomph behind our stats this time.
