In 2017, Roman Sayenko of Drudkh started a new band built on raw black metal. Now, Windswept are casting a cold spell over a dark moment in Ukrainian history with their upcoming third album The Devil’s Vertep.
“True Ukrainian Black Metal through and through”, This Is Black Metal writes in a review of The Devil’s Vertep. “Another stellar accomplishment out of Windswept.
“…a fiercely intense album that at times can be quite melodic and very raw” The Metal Pit says.
The Devil’s Vertep comes out tomorrow, Friday, December 12, 2026 on Season of Mist Underground Activists, but you can hear all six blazing tracks today by listening to the full album stream at Black Metal Promotion.
