“Absolutely beautiful. Heartwrenching, actually. Much like her 2020 track ‘Sally’s Lament,’ ‘Ring of Gold’ paints a new picture of the source material. Adds an element previously unimagined, which is saying a lot.” – The Metal Wanderlust

“Mordian’s vocal range emerges most impressively during chorus harmonies that are rich and emotive. It’s a tasteful tribute to Quorthon’s memory that will bring you peace and power.” – Decibel Magazine

Mordian is an enigmatic Vocalist / Composer from Chicago, IL. Also known for her work with DIAMORTE and SHIELD OF WINGS, Mordian showcases unassailable expressiveness once again in this doleful tribute to black metal icon Quorthon of BATHORY. Her mournful vocal breathes a new life into the evocative tale of romance, filled with rich imagery and melancholic hearts.

“Though there are many songs that have lent a hand in shaping the person I am today, musically and spiritually, one of the first to come to mind would be ‘Ring of Gold.'” Mordian offers, “This is my tribute to the legend that is BATHORY. Hail Quorthon!”
