It'll be different tomorrow, but that's it for now.

I've never heard of Drudkh though, links?

Haven't heard the new one, actually. Scepter is just awesome.

Drudkh is similar in some respects to Burzum.

I couldn't find an offical site or audio samples for that matter, but if you wanted some I could hook you up.
