Mortiis Releases "Violent Silence" Music Video, Taken From New Album "Ghosts Of Europa"

Mortiis has premiered the story-telling and visually impressive music video "Violent Silence," which continues the narrative arc of the previous clip "Ghosts Of Europa," as the next advance single taken from the iconic Norwegian artist's upcoming new full-length "Ghosts Of Europa."

"Ghosts Of Europa" has been scheduled for release on June 26, 2026.

Mortiis comments: "Lyrically, 'Violent Silence' came into being as an apology to my wife", the Norwegian admits ruefully. "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."
