The Rasmus X Kalush 'In The Shadows Of Ukraine' by Leonid Kolosovskyi
Rob Ulitski - 1st Nov 2022
The Rasmus and Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra join forces for this unique spin on legendary rock song In The Shadows.
The video for In The Shadows Of Ukraine is a tour de force of creativity, with a mission to "let as many people as possible know about the war and the courage of the Ukrainian people."
We see both groups perform in the middle of an industrial building, whilst powerful vignettes play out around them, quite literally in the shadows.
The dark, gritty aesthetic combines German expressionism with hypnotic camera movement and drone footage, creating a unique aesthetic that packs a real punch.
With an ultimate message of hope, the video ends with a simple phrase that encapsulates the whole project: "Be Brave Like Ukraine".
