CYTOTOXIN - Hope Terminator [Official Music Video]

After releasing their 4th full-length record NUKLEARTH in 2020, CYTOTOXIN strikes back with their first standalone single HOPE TERMINATOR. The nuclear quintet from Germany continues its unique musical and lyrical concept, processing the fatal incident at the Chernobyl power plant in 1986. With blazing precise and ionizing fast instrumental work paired with a pounding groove, HOPE TERMINATOR tells the dramatic story of Pripyat’s evacuation: After the reactor exploded, the city’s residents were exposed to abnormal levels of radioactive radiation for 36 hours until authorities decided to evacuate the town within 4 hours. Since then, Pripyat has remained abandoned.
