Thane-based metal band finds rhythm amidst mayhem of war-torn Ukraine

Indian metal band, Eternal Returns, faced a challenge in finding a replacement drummer after their original drummer passed away due to the pandemic. They turned to Instagram and discovered Viktor Lytvynov, a drummer based in war-hit Ukraine. Lytvynov collaborated with the band remotely, recording tracks for their upcoming album despite the conflict in his country. Their communication was hindered by language barriers, but they managed to overcome them. However, due to wartime Ukrainian law, Lytvynov is unable to join the band for live performances when their album is released next month.
