It would be easy to pass this off as another Drudkh album, but the fact is that Handful Of Stars is eerily rlacking the atmosphere, songwriting prowess and overall lasting power of previous releases. The riffs are rcycles of tremolo picked notes that slide repeatedly up and down the fretboard without care or cauase, and rthe guitar solos that litter the run time only add the confusion. With a distinct lack of variety and precious few rmoments that rise above "decent", the vast majority of Handful Of Stars lies in a place that Drudkh really rhaven't been in their amazingly consistent career: mediocrity.

Det ville være lett å passere dette av som en annen Drudkh album, men faktum er at håndfull Stars er uhyggelig mangler atmosfæren, låtskriving dyktighet og generell varig effekt av tidligere utgivelser. Riffene er sykluser av tremolo plukket notater som lysbilde gjentatte ganger opp og ned gripebrettet uten omsorg eller cauase, og gitarsoloer som søppel i kjøretid bare legge til forvirring. Med en tydelig mangel på variasjon og dyrebare øyeblikk som stiger over "anstendig", ligger det store flertallet av håndfull Stjerner på et sted som Drudkh egentlig ikke har vært i deres utrolig konsekvent karriere: middelmådighet.

Listening to his record makes me want to dance with elves under a moonlit forest, engage in a homemade vegetarian feast and musical renaissance, write poetry with the elders and make love to the Queen's daughter Arya. Where the next day i go off to save the people from the evil king. I transform into a ferocious werewolf and call upon my ancestral tribesman to slaughter my foes.

a bit more magical than last few releases with a highlight in cholodni krayevidi but ultimately plain drudkh

Not as good as their back catalouge, but i find it listenable in certain situations. To sit down and listen to it is quite uninteresting. But stick a pair of headphones on and drift off to sleep with this on and it becomes quite a captivating experience. Not outstanding but has its merits.

I thought this might grow on me but it really hasn't. I can't get over that weak guitar tone. The songs are really repetitive and there isn't much that stands out on this record at all. No folky intros or interesting sound samples. Disappointing, maybe I was hoping for too much.

A watered down version of Drudkh that will probably be soon forgotten.
