Madeleine Liljestam (Eleine), Marcela Bovio (Stream of Passion, Ayreon, MaYaN, The Gentle Storm, Dark Horse White Horse), Alessia Scolletti (Temperance) and Liv Kristine (ex-Theatre of Tragedy, ex-Leaves Eyes) were the four
first special guests on this project. And now for the fifth single Morten has teamed up with Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum, The dark side of the moon). Here follow quotes from Morten and Melissa:
I am proud and honored to introduce Melissa Bonny as my special guest for ‘The Pandemic Pandemonium Sessions’. The fifth song is entitled ‘Devastation Bound’, and will be available on all digital platforms on the 8th of October 2021. I discovered Melissa’s musical works a few years back and I have been following her career since then. Melissa has an absolutely beautiful voice that has the power of turning every song she performs into pure gold. I feel truly privileged and thankful to have Melissa on board this project, and I am really looking forward to sharing this song with you all.Morten Veland
The musical universe of Mortemia is truly fantastic. I discovered Morten’s creations earlier this year and I was very enthusiastic when he asked me to record for him. This song really transports you and gathers so many emotions and power…! I am very proud to be part of it and excited to share it with the world.
