November 2021, Europe and the United Kingdom will shake from the Black Rituals, a chain of selected shows brought by BATUSHKA and BELPHEGOR. Exactly two years after their last show, BATUSHKA will be returning on stage with their Black Liturgy:
“Expect a special spectacle composed of all our releases, and maybe there will be something premiere from the upcoming new album that we are currently working on. Accompanying the shows, we will prepare a limited special release with new songs! This release will be available only during the “Black Rituals” tour. Please note that these songs will not be available in any digital distribution or re-issued later. It will be a one-time opportunity!
