Mortiis has released the evocative and visually striking new music video "Violent Silence", which continues the narrative thread established in the previous clip, "Ghosts Of Europa" (find it HERE alongside more information about the new album and remaining tour dates). The track serves as the latest advance single from the upcoming album Ghosts Of Europa, set for release on 26 June through Prophecy Productions.
Reflecting on the song's origins, Mortiis explains: "Lyrically, 'Violent Silence' came into being as an apology to my wife. I had done something stupid again, and she was really upset. I was trying to apologise in a text message – a really long one. The lyrics for 'Violent Silence' took a lot of inspiration from those words and that moment. As time goes by and having lived with this song for quite a while now, it gets harder for me to listen to those words. The gut-wrenching sensation of guilt never goes away fully. Musically, it was a very inspiring song to work on – especially with all those crazy fuzz and echo guitars that built up this song towards the end". Link
