While having reached Lyon in France on their ongoing European „Blood Fall Tour„, DYMNA LOTVA release a digital single and video clip for the new non-album track ‚For Those Who Are Gone‚ (Адышоўшым). This stirring lament mourns the Belarus victims of a Soviet massacre committed on October 29, 1937 on the occasion of its anniversary.

DYMNA LOTVA comment: „Our new digital single ‚For Those Who Are Gone‘ is probably the least harsh song that we wrote to date, but the history behind this song is brutal“, enigmatic singer Katsiaryna „Nokt Aeon„ Mankevich explains. „On the night of the 29th of October 1937, the Soviet regime murdered over 140 Belarusian cultural and public figures. Among them were 22 poets and writers. In Belarus, this massacre is called ‚The Night of the Executed Poets‘ or just ‚The Black Night‘. The exiles of the Belarusian diaspora around the world gather on this date to remember the victims of this Soviet crime. In Belarus itself such gatherings are now dangerous to hold. This single is not supposed to become an part of any future album. We just feel that we should release it right now.“
