Mortemia has offered the fourth video single, "Paint It Black (feat. Kristin Starkey)", from The Cover Collab Sessions.
"Paint It Black", originally recorded by The Rolling Stones, features Kristin Starkey (Temperance, Twilight Force) on guest vocals.
Morten Veland commented: "I'm proud and honoured to welcome my friend Kristin Starkey as my special guest for The Cover Collab Sessions. This is the fourth song to be released for this album. I first met Kristin on tour in May last year when Sirenia and Temperance were touring in the UK together. Kristin is an amazing singer with an incredible voice span and diversity, and a true touring warrior that just hits the stage and totally kills it night after night. I've had Kristin in mind for a possible collab since we met, and I am very excited that the time now has finally come. The song we have chosen to do together is a cover of The Rolling Stones' timeless classic 'Paint It Black', a song that we both love. Kristin did an absolutely amazing job with this song, really showcasing her diversity as a singer and really putting her signature on the track. Together, we have created a really cool version of this timeless classic. I feel truly privileged and thankful to have Kristin on board this project, and we both can't wait to share this song with you all. The song will be available on all digital platforms on Friday, the 28th of November 2025".
Kristin added: "I'm thrilled to collaborate with my friend Morten from Mortemia / Sirenia on our rendition of the classic The Rolling Stones song 'Paint It Black'. I've always felt that this song has an inherently gothic energy, and Morten has truly brought that vision to life. The dark, atmospheric instrumental he created perfectly complements the emotional depth of the track, and it was such a joy to experiment with different vocal techniques and colours to bring that mood to life. I can't wait for everyone to hear it!"
