DRUDKH have always been a bit hit and miss over the years. This being DRUDKH's 9th studio album they are once again back to their roots with the Slavonic black metal we are used by them. The lyrics are in Ukrainian and each of the 4 full songs (plus an intro) represent one season of the year. The absence of the folk elements that were on Blood In Our Wells (arguably their best album so far) are notable, it's pretty much straight forward atmospheric black metal with a few acoustic breaks. The songs are between 8 and 10 minutes long, which makes it easy to lose yourself in the atmosphere. That said, the album doesn't stick. There is not much memorable about it. In into one ear, out through the other, so to speak. Easy listening DRUDKH, so to speak. It has all the right ingredients - fast and furious guitars, solid drum work, blast beats, Roman's angry shouts, smooth bass lines, a clear sound and a few acoustic elements here and there. Nonetheless, it feels a little bit too streamlined, as if they didn't put much thought into this album. Don't get me wrong, Eternal Turn Of The Wheel still a good album and well worth buying if you like this kind of music. There is just not enough substance to make Eternal Turn Of The Wheel stand out from the current deluge of quality black metal outputs.
