Some days ago, I came upon a really cool band, Batushka (''father'' in Cyrillic'', pronounced ''bat-ee-oosh-ka'' quickly). At first I thought they were Russian, considering the script the band uses, but to my surprise, the band's from Poland. Their music is very, very Slavic, I can feel my Slavonic routes emanating from the band's music. I love para-religious quasi-blasphemous black metal.

The band's attire seems to be based on the Schema Monks, a pagan-origin sect of Orthodox Christianity that had a strong spiritual emphasis on death. Even today, Orthodox Christian churches have a rather heavy-hearted, solemn, depressive feel when you're inside them, alluding to the powerful themes of rebirth Christianity possesses.

Poland has a lot of excellent underground metal acts, such as Outre, Mgla, and Vesania, just to name a few.

No, that won't be a new thread, but it is a peculiar idea now that you mentioned it. However, basing a role-play on such themes I feel would be too religious, which I think is against the rules. However, Slavic peoples and themes do make an appearance in ADW and Scions, so in a sense, I already have it in my role-plays. Also, I just don't see how anyone could be interested to role-play in an Orthodox theme, seeing as it'd just be spiritual/expressional/thematic/surrealist prayer/meditation/iconoclasm in the form of role-playing, not something that seems exciting or workable.

Yes, role-playing has somewhat slowed, but real-life is busy, we have work, bills, rent, debt, and expenses to go through.
