"Kalush Orchestra have collaborated with The Rasmus on a new version of the latter’s hit single ‘In The Shadows’.
The collaboration sees the outfit combine the sound of the Telenka (a Ukrainian wind instrument), a powerful chorus, and Oleg Psiuk’s fast-paced rap with The Rasmus’ classic rock style. The band, who represented Finland at this year’s Eurovision, met Kalush Orchestra in Turin, Italy this year where they soon began a creative relationship.
While both acts were in the city for the competition, they joined forces for an impromptu performance in the town square.
'We immediately loved the original sound of Kalush Orchestra – Ukrainian folk, singing, flute, rap', explained Lauri Ylönen, co-founder and frontman of The Rasmus, in a statement.
'It was inspiring to hear how this song can be reborn like that! And the lyrics are unfortunately even more relevant to what is happening now, in Ukraine and around the world'.
The song contains the line: 'They say that I must learn to kill before I can feel safe/ But I’d rather kill myself than turn into their slave'”
