ANTYTILA Have Finished the First European Part of the Tour. USA and Canada, New European Cities, Australia, and New Zealand Are Ahead

In February 2023 ANTYTILA set off with their gigs abroad for the first time from the beginning of full-scale invasion and after having been at the frontline. England, Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Israel, and France: 6 countries, 12 cities, and thousands of fans from around the world.

We’ve played a gig in London for the first time, in Great Britain, where we’ve received huge support – dozens of interviews, performance at the Trafalgar Square, hundreds of our British fans, and the historical moment – the world stars Bono and The Edge became special guests of the gig in London who sang the song-dedication to all Ukrainian mothers together with ANTYTILA.

Watch the video:

We’re sure it’s not the last gig in the land of Misty Albion, and soon we’ll announce the tour dates in Great Britain.
We’ve met with Ukrainian militaries in Germany, France, Israel, and Poland.
We’ve gathered hundreds of our fans in Tel Aviv for the first time as well as a record number of yellow and blue flags at our gigs abroad. We’ve played 5 big solo gigs in Poland our fans have been waiting for yet since 2020.
We’ve visited Ukrainian schools and centers in the countries of Europe, had meetings with hundreds of small Ukrainians abroad looking forward to coming back home.
Our fans from America, Japan, Italy, Sweden, Ireland, and other countries have visited our gigs to discover Ukraine for themselves via our music, to hear our story, and to support Ukraine and Ukrainian army once more.
The funds having been gathered and earned are transferred by the musicians to the ANTYTILA Charity Foundation, now an active fundraising campaign for anti-drone riffles is taking place:

All players get ready! Antytila has become part of the Death From Above project.

All players get ready!

Antytila has become part of the Death From Above project. This is an arcade-style drone game set during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

This is an international project involving teams from many different countries: Ukraine, Poland, Finland, Kazakhstan, Germany and Portugal.

The peculiarity of the game is that the developers spread the message of support for the defense of Ukraine, donating part of the proceeds from the Steam release to “Army of Drones” and “Come Back Alive”, and partnering with and using the experience of “GIS ARTA” and “Aerorozvidka” in the field of drone warfare to improve the game after its release. In the game, you take on the role of a Ukrainian military officer, a drone operator who fights enemy forces, rescues valuable equipment, and restores key lines of communication. The game will give you a taste of being a part of the one of the bravest Army in the world.

“This is an interesting experience for us. Moreover, our team loves computer games and understands how it all works, what a great community there is in this field in Europe and the world. And it is important that European developers are ready to support Ukraine and, most importantly, the Ukrainian army in their own way. By playing this game, gamers will automatically support our defense complex! As for the song, it will probably be the “hardest” composition in our work and is not at all similar to our previous ones. It may surprise our fans, but you will understand everything when you see this game and combine it with the sound. In the game, the song will be played in two languages,” says Taras Topolia, leader of Antytila band.

‘Our game takes place during a serious and tragic real-life event, but we hope that our game is able to bring some fun and relief to players when they try it. While we embrace controversy and difficult conversations, we don’t believe in controversy for its own sake or the sake of sales. We engage in these topics because we are convinced they are essential and that the power of video games can be a tool for political and social activism. Death From Above is no exception to that. Also, we’re proud to help spread the message of support for Ukraine defending itself!”, – says Hendrick Lesser, game director.

Very soon you will hear a song by Antytila band, which will become the main soundtrack of the game. The game will release on Steam in Early Access in the coming months, but for now, it needs support on Kickstarter, to make it bigger and better.To support and familiarize yourself with the project, follow the link:

Legendary Bono and the Edge from U2 joined to London concert

A privilege to join Antytila at Electric Brixton last night to perform “Mothers Of The Disappeared”.

These musicians – Taras, Dmytros, Sherhi, Dmytros, Mykhailo… The people of Ukraine, don’t want to be at war

They want peace, but not without freedom

Never pick a fight with someone who’s ready to lose everything

This war is much more than territory. More than sovereignty. It’s about dignity and decency confronting domination and darkness.

This song is for the mothers of Ukraine, and so many, who have lost so much.

Don’t give up, don’t give up.

Slava Ukraini

Midnight, our sons and daughters

Were cut down and taken from us.

Hear their heartbeat

We hear their heartbeat.

In the wind we hear their laughter

In the rain we see their tears.

Hear their heartbeat, we hear their heartbeat.

Night hangs like a prisoner

Stretched over black and blue.

Hear their heartbeats

We hear their heartbeats.

In the trees our sons stand naked

Through the walls our daughter cry

See their tears in the rainfall.

For the First Time – ANTYTILA in Israel

Once, it was exactly Tel Aviv where we shot one of our first music videos. Exactly Israeli instructors were those we received important knowledge about paramedical aid from, and exactly the best Israeli bandages saved and go on saving our sworn brothers’ lives on the frontline.
We feel a certain piety and responsibility for a gig in a state understanding us and giving us such vital support in this war.

We are bringing our seventh studio album MLNL as well as the songs already being favorite for millions and having become the symbol of faith and hope for the Victory for people all over the world, and also quality sound and light to support and to express gratitude to Ukrainians in Israel and everyone who cares for their support, for those who miss home – to remind of it, and for everyone – to show Ukraine in songs.
The gig of the band ANTYTILA in Israel is a special show combining visual and light director’s decisions smoothly transferring from songs to the audience’s talks with Taras Topolia who uses his humor, metaphors, and personal experience to speak of love, friendship, war, and Ukraine in the world.
