Windswept

One of the myriad side projects of Roman Sayenkoo, the frontman for Ukraine-based black folk-metallers <a href="spotify:artist:4q5mj9YpaYesKvHzN8XYve">Drudkh</a>, Windswept takes a more visceral and incendiary approach to the genre -- the band has more in common with the icy, dark ambient attack of Sayenko's inaugural group <a href="spotify:artist:33P8BQpmm8huSmKrBKgmQW">Hate Forest</a>. Formed in 2017, Windswept issued its debut full-length, The Great Cold Steppe, that same year via Season of Mist. It was quickly followed by an EP, Visionaire, which was released on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Van+Records%22">Van Records</a>. The group returned to Season of Mist for album number two, the raw and uncompromising Onlooker, which arrived in March 2019. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
