Ukrainian Occult Rock Trio Sinoptik are continuing the march towards the release of a full-length album, and the next mile marker on their journey is here, with new single ‘Sell God’s Number’, and a release date of June 11th 2021 for the new studio album now announced as ‘The Calling’. 

The video for ‘Sell God’s Number’ was filmed at the Korostyshev Boarding School in Ukraine, where Sinoptik were invited and welcomed to the school with a view for them to inspire the children with their music, and yet, the band were the ones left inspired.

Sinoptik’s call to action in this upbeat and urgent single is ‘it’s time to go big, or just go back home’.

Dmitry spoke about how the video and the collaboration between Sinoptik and the boarding school came to be.

“In December 2020 a volunteer from the Korostyshev Boarding School got in contact with me. He asked if we as a band could come and visit the kids and spend some time with them.  In total there are 100 children who attend the school and 50 of them live there permanently because they have no parents.

All of the kids have a variety of mental or physical disabilities, and some of them are victims of domestic violence. We wanted to give a window into their everyday life and how they frequently struggle with problems out of their control, so we thought it would be a good idea to raise awareness. We came to this school and had a real party with live music for these kids. We brought some presents for them, had lunch together and played games outside. We had a filming plan, but the kids actually made it even better with their actions and energy. I was confident that all the children will remember this day for the rest of their lives. 

These children are one on one with their battles, incomparable with petty everyday troubles of other people. Each such child is a real superhero because day by day they fight and they win.”
