SIRENIA

SIRENIA was formed by Morten Veland in january 2001. Morten’s musical work was already well known through his work with his former band Tristania,a band he co-founded back in the mid nineties.
Being the main songwriter for this band he was a part of defining the
gothic metal sound from a very early time on.

With SIRENIA his intention was to bring it to the next level, a task he succeeded to fulfil.
Up to date SIRENIA has released 7 albums, an EP and several singles. Our albums have made it to the charts in 7 countries, receiving great reviews worldwide. Meanwhile their singles have topped radio charts in several countries.

SIRENIA sounds like a mixture of gothic metal and rock with classical orchestrations, in addition to some elements from more extreme metal genres.Their sound have a solid base in the powerful drums and bass supported by massive rhythm guitars, dressed with atmospheric keyboards and spiced with melancholic violins and 12-string guitars. The music is at all times melodic and groovy.
The vocal styles are diverse and consist of female vocals, choirs, growls,screams, clean male vocals, whispers and samples. The songs are very intense and the atmosphere changes frequently.
The lyrics are based on reflections on life, death, love, hate, paranoia, anxiety and mental decline in general.
