THE BARDS OF OUR STRUGGLE, THE 30th ANNIVERSARY OF THE LEGENDARY KOMU VNYZ

Music reflects a man's soul and builds one's personal universe. Music can be different: it can bear the right values and bring order into your inner world, or it can increase the mess and decay. There is a special music for those strong by spirit. Its creators - our contemporaries - people whose Souls are lit by fire, that reflects in their pupils; whose inner universe repulses by the rhythm of march of closed columns, who follow the sun and raise the dust of roads of our earthly world.

This dust causes a stuffy and clouds the eyes of those outsiders who are walking backwards or fall dying in roadside mud. But the titans of spirit have nothing to do with all this earthly fuss.

The best of us, purposeful, brave and stubborn, sons and daughters of Ukraine are following them. They step proudly, with high-raised heads and a burning glance aimed at the future. Better future. Bright future.

The time when Ukraine will free itself from the Moscow deception, when New Fire will flare, when Nachtigall will sing its song and Lyra's sounds will wake those who are still asleep.

They are - Komu Vnyz!

On February 10, we marked the 30th anniversary since the foundation of the legendary Komu Vnyz, who have long went beyond the framework of a rock/dark folk act. For generations of Ukrainian patriots their music and sophisticated lirics is a source of inspiration, their songs we sang fighting Ukrainiae's enemies at the Maidan, and their songs are often echoing in sounds of battles in the Donbass now. Long live the Great Komu!
