Can anyone ID the female singer in this clip?

(Possible trigger warning: I know at least one listener who interprets "Some Velvet Morning" as portraying a stalker/rapist and his target(s).)

This unusual* interpretation of the classic Lee Hazlewood/Nancy Sinatra ballad is by the German gothic metal band Beloved Enemy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz9tyzizuAI

Little information about the band seems to be available in English, although male lead singer Ski-King is a transplanted American; does anyone out there know who the female guest vocalist is?

*In that the 4/4 tempo is consistently maintained--rather than shifting into 3/4 for Phaedra's verses--and the female singer's delivery is a good deal more mature and composed than Sinatra's; one gets the impression that the mysterious Phaedra and her anguished suitor are not only inhabiting the same dimensional plane but equally matched and at last happily united.

ETA: For some reason, people have been directing me to a cover of the song by Swedish death-metal band Entombed--which isn't the one I was asking about; the only connection I can find between the two is Madder66Mortem's YouTube comment recommending the Beloved Enemy version--although I'll grant that Ms. Leierth does look and sound somewhat like the woman in the latter.
