Effective period / Period of releases: 2015 - 2019

Polish black/doom metal band formed by Krzysztof Drabikowski. The live line-up contains up to eight members.

Pronounced "Batyoushka", the band's Cyrillic name Батюшка means "father" and is used to address an Eastern Orthodox priest. Despite their themes and imagery, they are not a Christian band.

In December 2018 Drabikowski announced that he had fired Krysiuk from the band for trying to 'steal' Батюшка from him.
As of 2019, two versions of Батюшка exist: this one fronted by founding member Drabikowski, and Батюшка fronted by Krysiuk.
