25.05.23

Ukrainian band Antytila presents a new song in two languages and a video for it, which were created especially for the computer game of the European production Rockodile and Lesser Evil – “Death from Above”. In Ukrainian, the song is called “My Falcon”.

The game will be available in early access on the Steam platform starting today. Both Ukrainian and English versions of songs will be played in the game. Moreover, members of the band Antytila will appear among the characters of the game. Everyone will be able to choose a character, a pilot who will control the drone, among them there will be five musicians of Antytila band.

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.

The first game from the Lesser Evil publishing label puts you in the boots of a Ukrainian combat drone operator defending their homeland against Russian invasion. Players alternate between controlling the operator on foot as they maneuver behind enemy lines and flying the drone itself – swooping onto enemy positions to clear out troops, tanks and other opposition forces.

This balance between positioning and combat makes for tense gameplay as the operator pushes further into occupied territory, reclaiming land, communications posts and…domestic appliances for the people of Ukraine.

Now Death from Above is released in Steam Early Access, 30% of its net revenues from game sales will be sent to two Ukrainian charities: Come Back Alive and Army of Drones. Once we break even, that donation will increase to 70% of all future net game revenues, with the final 30% going towards developing new game content.

Recently, Antytila Concert LLC sent 1 100 000 UAH, which were earned at the band’s charity concerts in Europe, to its own charity fund for the purchase of anti-drone riffles. In this way, the group closed a collection of 6 million UAH and soon anti-drone complexes with direction finders will go to the front line. In September, Antytila will continue their cultural activity and go on a tour of the USA and Canada, and the artists will perform for the first time in Australia and New Zealand.
