Despite the war, the band also managed to include a clip to accompany the song. They filmed at Kharkov, among other places, where fierce fighting took place. “We just stopped in the middle of the road and started filming, in the middle of nowhere,” singer Topolia told the BBC. The band says it has now temporarily stopped making music, in order to be able to fight at the front.
Proceeds from the song go to victims of the war.
Antytila went viral earlier this year with a video in which they offered to perform via a live stream at a concert for Ukraine in Birmingham. Organizers of that concert, where Ed Sheeran would also perform, declined that offer because the group was affiliated with the military. “The concert was not for soldiers, but for helping civilians,” the singer said at the time.
