Seven deadly sins – ingrained in human nature, a classic theme in art. From Jheronimus Bosch (or maybe not) to Jan Smit (definitely not). In the vast space between the two, the searching soul may find Gospod. Священный металл, holy metal – it would be a sin not to pass on such a discovery.
The Main Sins of Humanity (2021) contains seven tracks, which shouldn’t come as a surprise. Greed is the first, and it instantly makes you want more.
The lyrics were not found online, yet here they are, with спасибо (thanks) to Gospod himself.
О, святой ангел
Ходатайствуйщий перед господом нашим
За душу мою, и тело мое и жизнь мою грешную
Не оставь меня грешного
И не отступи от меня за все грехи мои
Прошу тебя
Не дай лукавому демону
Завладеть душой моей
Укрепи мою слабую и податливую душу
Ваш пресвятый царь ваш
Ваш пресвятый царь ваш
Прости мне все грехи
Которыми я оскорбил тебя за всю мою не праведную жизнь
Прости все мои прегрешения
Которые я совершил в день минувший
Сохрани душу мою от разных искушений
Чтобы я не прогнил
Ваш пресвятый царь ваш
Ваш пресвятый царь ваш
The year is still young, but it has already been fruitful for Gospod. The 7 Sins album already has a follow-up, in Semitskiye bozhestva (Семитские божества) – read the video description on YouTube. Laziness, or sloth, is not for Gospod. More about the (language of) the seven sins below the videos.

Raw Anti-Putin punk, based on ‘Maggie’ by The Exploited
Dreamy indie folk with melancholic undertones
Make music, not war. And shoot videos, not people. Or wolves.
