On February 28, 2023, at 11:22 PM, the deadliest railway accident in the history of Greece occurred near the village of Evangelismos in the region of Tempi, Larissa. The severe head-on collision between a passenger train (Intercity 62) traveling from Athens to Thessaloniki and a freight train resulted in the death of 57 people and the injury of at least 85 others. Serious infrastructure and safety deficiencies, as well as the failure to implement proper safety systems, preceded the tragedy, while railway workers had warned about these issues. The accident sparked intense reactions and protests throughout the country.This incident served as the catalyst for the creation of "Mama… Don’t Cry In Silence" and our decision to release it.“Mama… Don’t Cry In Silence” is a sincere and emotionally charged message that combines personal loss with social outrage over the indifference and negligence that led to this horrific tragedy.
Through our music, we aimed to give vent to the sorrow of the victims' families, to honor the memory of the 57 innocent lives lost so unjustly, and to highlight the need for action and change. This song is our cry for the necessity of responsible and meaningful political decisions that protect citizens as a state ought to do…
For symbolic reasons, "Mama… Don’t Cry In Silence" will be released on 28.02.2025 at 23:22 and will be available for free download on our Bandcamp page.https://groovetherapist.bandcamp.com/music
