Now Batushka has introduced a handful of South American tour dates, noting it is the “LAST go to within the historical past of Batushka to your continent.” But there’s been no clarification on why Batushka is ending, what the “one thing new is,” and what the hell is happening.

At this level, we must always most likely discuss in regards to the current lawsuit that Krysiuk is dropping in opposition to Batushka founder Krzysztof “Derph” Drabikowski, and the way Krysiuk‘s Batushka is probably going dropping the title – however the kicker is that he hasn’t misplaced but.

Then got here the current ruling that Drabikowski owns the title, and that Krysiuk can not keep it up as Batushka with out Drabikowski‘s permission. As Krysiuk notes in his assertion, he and his band plan to enchantment the ruling, and that till the enchantment is both accepted or rejected, his Batushka will keep it up as Batushka.

Krysiuk wrote: “In reference to the judgment of the District Court docket in Warsaw, XXII Mental Property Division, we wish to inform you that the judgment is just not last and could also be appealed in opposition to. We’re dissatisfied with the decision and the size of the trial. which lasted over 4 years.
