Norwegian dark/gothic metal project Mortemia has just dropped its ninth single/video from its forthcoming full-length, The Covid Aftermath Sessions. The new Mortemia offering, "Fovamai", is a cover version of the Greek band Ble's (Μπλε) original version, first released in 1996, and features Maxi Nil from the band Jaded Star on guest vocals.

Morten Veland: "I'm proud and honoured to welcome Maxi Nil Official from Jaded Star as my special guest for The Covid Aftermath Sessions. The song that we have done together is a cover version of the Greek band Ble (Μπλε) and the song is entitled 'Fovamai' (Φοβάμαι). Me and Maxi already talked about doing a collab together for some time, so I always had her in mind whenever recording new songs for Mortemia. In February this year I was in Greece to play a show in Athens with Sirenia. I was taking a taxi from the airport to the hotel, and on the radio, this song came on. I instantly loved it and noted the name of the band and the song. I also knew right away that this song would fit perfectly for Maxi, and since the song is in Greek too, it could not be more perfect. I was thrilled to find out that Maxi also was a huge fan of this song, and shortly after, we completed the recordings. I am so happy with how the song turned out, Maxi did an amazing performance that fitted the song perfectly. I feel truly privileged and thankful to have Maxi on board this project, and I am really looking forward to sharing this song with you all. The song will be available on all digital platforms on the 19th of July 2024. We have also made a video clip for the song that will premiere on Mortemia's official YouTube channel at 18:00 hours CET, the same day".

Maxi Nil: "I got to know Morten and Sirenia back in my days with Visions Of Atlantis. We shared the stage of many festivals and I've always liked his creative songwriting and musical expression. A few years back, we started talking about a possible collaboration and now I know that it took so long for a reason! When he reached out and asked me to sing the Greek song 'Fovamai' (Φοβάμαι), which means 'I'm afraid', I was thrilled. This song first came out in 1996 by the band Ble (Μπλε) and quickly became extremely popular and touched countless of people. This  collaboration with Morten came in a turning point of my life and singing those words with all my heart and soul worked as the perfect remedy for me. The timing couldn't be more perfect! I hope you get to feel the vibes even if you don't speak Greek and enjoy our new approach to this beautiful song"!
