...The beginning of 2012 brings many important events for HAYDAMAKY. On January 29th, as part of the "VooVoo & Haydamaky" project, the musicians play thier "Gold" repertoire with the legendary VooVoo at the opening of Poland’s main stadium for Euro 2012. HAYDAMAKY are not only the sole Ukrainian, but also the only foreign band that is invited to the opening celebration of the National Warsaw Stadium.However, soon afterwards HAYDAMAKY endures its most heated and dramatic period in its 15-year history. Irreconcilable moral and professional differences that had been brewing over the past several years, and attempts by vocalist O.Yarmola to appropriate the band’s intellectual and material property results in a serious conflict between him and the musicians of Haydamaky. Attempts at peaceful negotiations by the band’s founders, are met by the ex-vocalist’s response of appropriating access to all of the group’s online resources, circulating slanderous information to partners and the mass media, twisting facts during interviews, while trying to take credit for the band’s many achievements as his own. In February 2012, the band concludes their work with O.Yarmola.
