Ukraine-based blackened death-doom project Sidus Atrum has unleashed the first single/video, "Коли Земля Кричала (When The Earth Was Screaming)", from its forthcoming album, Розірване Небо (Torn Sky), set for release on 10 May through Kvlt und Kaos Productions on vinyl and digitally.

Sidus Atrum on "Коли Земля Кричала (When The Earth Was Screaming)": "When a person loses their humanity and transforms into a beast that rapes, tortures, and kills everyone in their path, not sparing even kids, the Earth cries out in pain, lamenting the birth of such children and longing to draw them back into its embrace. 'Коли Земля Кричала (When The Earth Was Screaming)' reflects our emotions caused by the events in Bucha, Irpin, Gostomel and other occupied towns and villages of Ukraine. Such terrible things should have no place in this world".

The video's theme, filmed in the summer of 2023 in Hostomel, Irpin and Kozhanka, is war and children, lost lives, stolen childhood and the necessity to continue living amidst war conditions.

Sidus Atrum was formed in 2015 by Yulia Lykhotvor (music, lyrics, vocals), and its debut album, Cold Silence, came out in 2019. In 2021, Sidus Atrum signed with Kvlt und Kaos Productions for the Spiral Of Life sophomore album, released in March 2022. The album was recorded with two guest musicians, Daniel Neagoe (Clouds), who recorded vocals in a duet with Yulia for the song "Rain Brings Your Voice", and bassist Serhii Lykhotvor (Sad Alice Said), who helped with the arrangement and later joined the band.
