It’s a dizzying, distortion- tinted techno thumper.” – **NME** “Their lushly decomposing debut makes listeners want to dance while sinning, then collapse in agony from excessive joy” – **Music Connection** “Bleak, pulsing intensity… it’s familiar ground for both artists, but with a distinctively new twist.” – **The AV Club** “A strutting electro-goth banger.” – **BrooklynVegan** **DARK MARK vs. SKELETON JOE** **Featuring Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees) and Joe Cardamone (The Icarus Line)****Releases  “Hiraeth” Video Including the Final Filmed Footage of the Late Mark Lanegan **Premieres _via _[SPIN](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=6e2738a8c3&e=615f2b8493)** **MAY 13, 2022 (Los Angeles, CA)** – As a fitting eulogy for the late **Mark Lanegan,** his close friend and other half of the duo **DARK MARK vs. SKELETON JOE**, **Joe Cardamone**  has released the final video “**Hiraeth**” which features the last filmed footage of Lanegan. Taken from Dark Mark vs. Skeleton Joe’s self-titled album( released October 15, 2021 _via _**Rare Bird / Kitten Robot Records**), footage of the video’s last half was filmed in Killarney, Ireland when Cardamone visited Lanegan after his bout with COVID which put him temporarily in a coma.   ![](https://i0.wp.com/mcusercontent.com/f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984/images/a84c50c1- d4cb-2e33-2b85-99a5a89d3485.jpeg?resize=340%2C255&ssl=1) **Dark Mark vs. Skeleton Joe** credit: **Sean Cardamone** “When I made it over to Killarney to visit Mark post-COVID/coma, we only had a week to work on filming things and humble resources,” Cardamone tells [**SPIN** ](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=dce0041680&e=615f2b8493) who premieres the video today. “We just got together every day and tried to make a go of it.  A lot of the photos and filming while I was there with him doubled as sight seeing. This was a chance to spend time together and for Mark to show me his new hometown. He looked so genuinely happy there, more so than maybe I ever saw in Los Angeles.  Surrounded by nature and peace.  It’s a breathtaking corner of the world.  On the last day, we all decided to visit a side of the lake that Mark had yet to explore.  We walked and talked through the woods for several hours and broke out the camera at the very end. I had always hoped to do some kind of visual for Hiraeth’ but we we were almost out of time at this point and just hanging out took priority.” A montage of Lanegan’s musical career dominates the first half of the video, documenting his multiple bands and projects including **Screaming Trees**, **Twilight Singers**,** Queens of the Stone Age**, **Gutter Twins **and others. “The rest of the video is pretty self-explanatory.  They say when you go, your life flashes before your eyes,” Cardamone explains of the wonderful and heartwrenching visual pastiche. HIRAETH - DARK MARK VS SKELETON JOE [⌊HIRAETH - DARK MARK VS SKELETON JOE⌉⌊HIRAETH - DARK MARK VS SKELETON JOE⌉ Watch this video on YouTube **Dark Mark vs. Skeleton Joe – “Hiraeth”** The song –  a haunting meditation on the impermanence of existence (“An angelic vision / But still just flesh and blood”) – is a fitting epitaph for Lanegan and, in effect, the band and offers a wonderfully bittersweet remembrance of his artistry and incredible impact on the music world.  “His lyrics and melody on this cut in particular really moved me and in a way became the centerpiece to the album,” continues Cardamone. “It’s a song that is just filled with unfiltered love, nothing guarded. No damage involved.  Truly one of the most moving pieces of music I have ever been a part of.” **Dark Mark vs. Skeleton Joe **is **Mark Lanegan **and **Joe Cardamone**.
