Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)
"A song inspired musically by the likes of Summoning, Caladan Brood, Emyn Muil, etc. I decided to release this as a standalone single because it is not necessarily a musical style I intend to stick with for more Podvizhnik tracks."
"The song is dedicated to St. Seraphim of Sarov, who, in an epic feat of asceticism, spent 1,000 days praying atop a rock in the Russian wilderness. St. Seraphim, pray to God for us!"

The logo. I didn't crop it very well and it's pretty small. It seems to be written in a font - can anyone identify the font perhaps?
