'''''Slavonic Chronicles''''' is an [EP](/source/extended_play) released by [Ukrainian](/source/Ukraine) [black metal](/source/black_metal) band [Drudkh](/source/Drudkh) on September 20, 2010 (see [2010 in music](/source/2010_in_music)), on the [French](/source/France) label [Season of Mist](/source/Season_of_Mist). It was released in two formats: as a [10" LP](/source/10%22_LP) and as a [mini CD](/source/mini_CD). The last one is available only as a part of a deluxe leather book edition of Drudkh's 2010 full-length album, ''[Handful of Stars](/source/Handful_of_Stars)'', strictly limited to 600 copies.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://season-of-mist.com/bands/drudkh#Slavonic-Chronicles |title=Drudkh, Eternal Turn of the Wheel album, Pagan Black Metal (news, biography, releases, downloads, line-up, tour dates) &#124; Season of Mist, Metal Label |work=Season of Mist |accessdate=October 10, 2012}}</ref>

''Slavonic Chronicles'' consists of two cover versions of tracks by [Slavic](/source/Slavic_peoples) black metal bands: "Tam gdzie gaśnie dzień..." (originally by the [Polish](/source/Poland) band [Sacrilegium](/source/Sacrilegium_(band)), taken from a split with Polish band North, titled ''Jesienne Szepty'') and "Indiánská píseň hrůzy" (originally by [Czech](/source/Czech_Republic) band [Master's Hammer](/source/Master's_Hammer), taken from the album ''[Šlágry](/source/%C5%A0l%C3%A1gry)''). It was generally well received due to its stylistic similarity with classic Drudkh works like ''[Blood in Our Wells](/source/Blood_in_Our_Wells)'', as opposed to the almost [post-rock](/source/post-rock) sound of ''Handful of Stars''.

The Sacrilegium cover was dedicated "to our Polish brothers fallen in September 1939", and because the group was unsuccessful in contacting Sacrilegium for the song's lyrics, the lyrics in the Drudkh version come from the Ukrainian poet [Vadym Lesych](/source/Vadym_Lesych) (1909–1982).
