Futility Report is the debut studio album by the Ukrainian black metal band White Ward, released on 12 May 2017 via the French label Debemur Morti Productions. It was the only album to feature of Andrew Rodin on vocals, Ihor Palamarchuk on guitars, Yurii Kononov on drums and Alexey Iskimzhi on saxophone.[1][2][3]
At the time of its recording, the band members were located in different cities - Odesa, Kherson and Cherkasy. Work on Futility Report lasted three years.[4] The album was noticed and highly appreciated both in Ukraine[4][5][6][7] and abroad,[8][9][10][11] and the band acquired new fans and maintained communication with them through social networks. The band's bass guitarist, Andrii Pechatkin, shared a story related to the album in his interview with karabas.live. He stated that "a guy named Colin wrote to us from the USA. For several days, doctors tried to induce an epileptic seizure in him, and our music helped him not to go crazy. The guy was forbidden to sleep, so he lay down and listened to Futility Report for several hours straight."[4]
Editors of thematic online publications noted the successful and unusual combination of black metal with jazz, the high level of performance and the quality of the recording.[6][8]
