The musical style of the song “Death from Above”, in Ukrainian – “My Falcon” is different from the previous compositions of the band Antytila and is one of the heaviest in their repertoire. It conveys the tense atmosphere of the game, transfers listeners to the world of combat operations and danger.
‘When an IT company from Germany asked us to create a song for a game – we were interested, because we like computer games.
When we were told that players would transform into Ukrainian pilots – drone operators and destroy the enemy from above, when we learned that 70% of the income would go to support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we had no doubts about whether to participate in this project.
Death from above (My falcon in Ukrainian) is probably the most heavy song in our discography from now on. But it very much relevant to the mood of the gameplay.
We are sure that all players will be treated to a perfect mix of interesting gameplay, a powerful soundtrack and a good deed in support of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for Victory’, – tells Taras Topolia.
In the video clips for both versions of the songs, the musicians show warfare, situations that our military actually faces on the front lines, but in an animated form. Enemies are depicted as orcs, pigs and in fact non-human creatures, which in fact they are, and which gave the name to a new phenomenon in world history – rashism. This symbolism emphasizes the deep meaning of the video, where the Ukrainian pilot and drone operator destroys the enemy, who represents a threat to freedom and independence.
“In the video, we wanted to convey the atmosphere of the game, this dynamic, character, as well as recreate the characters and once again show and emphasize to everyone who or what the army of the aggressor country really is. These are creatures that have a minimum of human traits and qualities,” Taras Topolia shares.
