The UKRAINIANS are known for their intoxicating Cossack folk-punk energy and this album doesn't disappoint! The themes are the Ukrainian people's resilience and determination to express their own language, culture and identity. It also highlights the physically and emotionally destructive nature of war.

There are three brand new songs including the nine-minute epic title track, plus six radically remastered favourites from the band's early years. There is also a highly emotional re-recording of the band's classic a capella masterpiece 'Dity Plachut' (The Children are Crying). The album comes with a booklet that contains all the original lyrics in Ukrainian and full translations into English.
