Sirenia

Sirenia is a Norwegian symphonic metal band formed in 2001 by Morten Veland, who was previously a founding member of Tristania. Known for blending gothic and symphonic metal elements, Sirenia's sound features a mix of melodic guitar riffs, orchestral arrangements, and a dynamic vocal style that includes both clean female singing and harsh male growls. The band often explores themes of emotion, darkness, and introspection in their lyrics.

Over the years, Sirenia has seen several lineup changes, particularly with their lead vocalists, which has led to shifts in musical direction while still retaining their signature blend of metal and symphonic textures. Albums like Arcane Astral Aeons, Dim Days of Dolor, and Riddles, Ruins & Revelations have showcased their evolving sound, incorporating more electronic and modern influences. Despite the changes, Sirenia continues to maintain a dedicated global fanbase and remains a staple within the symphonic metal scene.
