Its debut will be followed by a showing at Oslo's Fright Fest on September 22nd.
Vardøger will be shown in conjunction with Kiil's full-length films, Hora and Inside The Whore. This is Kiil's first musical collaboration.
Kiil commented: “I really love Mortiis' work. The collaboration started with me writing a script for a story around my deepest demons, all the while listening to old tracks from Mortiis. I sent the script to Levi and he liked it. We talked many times and made the script more personal for me, as well as for Mortiis. I think the result is a film that expresses the essence of me and Mortiis all in one package."
Mortiis' guitarist, Levi Gawron commented: "We connected early on in the Norwegian film industry because we share the same views and interest in films. I guess we both like weird and twisted things! We have played around with this idea for some time now. The idea was that he would make a music video for us, but as the project evolved it became a collaboration where he stood for the visual and we for the music. The idea is to share fans."
Founder Mortiis commented:. "We always said we'd be interested in providing the music as long as we liked the footage. We thought the song and tempo of the song fit the mood of Reinert´s mini - slow heavy and foreboding. 'Geisteskrank' is not actually an album track per se, which would have made more sense commercially, but that song worked out better than anything else."
‘Geisteskrank’ was created during the The Great Deceiver sessions.
