Countermove - Dutch Musicians Releasing Charity Single For Red Cross
Recently, we found out about a new project, The Countermove Foundation, which was born in 2014 as an initiative of professional musicians from The Netherlands. We knew they were working on something together but now it's been revealed that it is a charity single for the Red Cross. This first project is a large-scale collaboration between major and emerging Dutch metal artists in support of the Red Cross, in occasion of 3FM Serious Request 2014, a Dutch charity event that is organised every year by one of their biggest radio stations. Donations will bring help to victims of sexual violence in conflict territories. A video preview is available below.
From December 8th 2014, on http://thepoweroflove.nl/, fans will be able to give a donation and download a heavy cover of "The Power Of Love", originally performed by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.

The cause: help victims of sexual violence in conflict territories.
"It's a war within a war. One in five women worldwide is raped or otherwise sexually abused in their lifetime. In conflict areas, sexual violence is used as a weapon, to humiliate the enemy, with catastrophic consequences on the victim's physical and mental health. Often excluded from their community, surrounded by shame, victims also suffer social and economic consequences. Still, they are the ones who will have to take care of their families, their children, their homes, after everything around them has fallen to pieces. The Red Cross provides shelter, medical care and psychological counseling, but is also committed to providing these women view of a future, for example through fundings and training."
