Hungarian atmospheric black metal tandem WitcheR has served a special cover song and music video of "O Fortuna" from Carl Orff's well-known composition Carmina Burana.
The song is a taste from WitcheR's upcoming EP, Boszorkányszimfóniák, which contains cover songs of many classical compositions from composers such as Tchaikovsky, Handel, Grieg, Chopin, Williams and Orff. The EP will be out on 8 May through Filosofem Records on CD, tape and digitally. Link
