VELJA - Chornobyl 22 (Official Music Video) | Progressive Metal

"Chornobyl 22" refers to the events that unfolded in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone after the russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The moscovites planned to use the Exclusion Zone, located to the north of Kyiv, to launch a surprise attack on the Ukrainian capital, but the forces of nature and the Ukrainian soil itself, exhausted by the nuclear disaster that happened in 1986, fought against them, siding with the Ukrainian soldiers.
Funny fact: It was discovered that digging trenches in an area where the soil is contaminated with nuclear waste was not a wise decision.

Velja, a progressive metal band from Ukraine, features female extreme vocals and incorporates electronic instruments and samples to create a complex fusion of modern progressive metal and djent. Their discography includes two singles and a 5-track EP called "Modern Disbalance," which was released in 2021. In that same year, Velja were nominated for the Best Ukrainian Metal Act – the biggest live alternative music event in Ukraine showcasing top metal bands. The russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 had a significant impact on the band's ability to perform live, so they spent most of the year working in the studio. This resulted in the release of their latest single, "Chornobyl 22" which was released on April 26, 2023. The band purposely chose this date to draw attention to how the Ukrainian land, still recovering from the Chornobyl disaster, was able to resist the occupiers.
