Morten Veland (SIRENIA, MORTEMIA and founder of TRISTANIA)  released the twelfth  Mortemia  song from ‘The Covid Aftermath Sessions’ today. The track is called At Journey’s End and it’s featuring Chiara Tricarico from Moonlight Haze on guest vocals. The song is available on all digital platforms as of yesterday the 1st of August 2025.

Morten Veland:

“I’m proud and honoured to welcome Chiara Tricarico from Moonlight Haze as my special guest for ‘The Covid Aftermath Sessions’. This is the twelfth and last song that completes this album. Me and Chiara have been talking about doing a collab for some time, and now the time has finally come. The upcoming song is an original track called ‘At Journey’s End’, written and composed by yours truly. The vibe of the song feels like a nice blend of old-school and modern symphonic metal. Chiara did an amazing job, her beautiful voice makes an absolutely perfect match with this song.

I feel truly privileged and thankful to have Chiara on board this project and we can’t wait to share this song with you all. The song will be available on all digital platforms on Friday the 1st of August 2025”.

Chiara:

“Morten and I had been talking about a possible collaboration for years, since we met at a festival and he invited me to sing a track for his solo project Mortemia, so I’m very happy that this is finally happening! He did a great job writing a song which is perfect for my voice and I had a blast recording it. I’m really looking forward for everybody to finally being able to listen to “At Journey’s End!”
