Last week, it was revealed that Dutch symphonic metal icons Within Temptation were recording a video in Kyiv, the capital city of Ukraine, to go alongside their upcoming, pro-Ukraine single A Fool's Parade. The band's frontwoman, Sharon den Adel, travelled to the city herself to take part in the video shoot, and in an exclusive new interview with Metal Hammer, she opens up on the experience of travelling to the war-torn nation, who remain embedded in conflict following Russia's invasion in 2022.
Speaking to Hammer writer Dannii Leivers following her return from Kyiv, den Adel explains that her brief trip to the city was made possible by Music Saves Ukraine, a non-profit organisation seeking to raise awareness, funds and humanitarian aid to those affected by the conflict.
