Russian medieval and pagan folk band Moonloom released a new single, Lorelei, inspired by the eponymous poem by Heinrich Heine.

Lorelei is the German ballad of the nymph Lorelei, who combs her long hair with a Golden comb and lures fishermen to the rocks with her singing. The band recorded two versions for the song, one in German with the words of Heinrich Heine, and another in their native Russian language.

You can check both versions below:
