It was the band's last album released by Nuclear Blast, before the expiration of their long-term contract. Cover art The album cover art represents a fortuitous event. It was created by the British Gothic artist Anne Stokes. Veland found the sinister painting, titled "Siren's Lament" - a depiction of a reclining siren upon a rock in a sea cave, sliding her tail through the skulls of her (apparent) victims, as they float on the water surface - when he surfed the Internet looking for a suitable illustration for the album. He contacted Stokes, who is well known internationally for her fantasy art. She gave him permission to use it on the then unreleased album. In the f ...

An Elixir For Existence
''An Elixir for Existence'' is the second studio album by the Norwegian gothic metal band Sirenia, released in 2004. The album follows in the same vein as the previous '' At Sixes and Sevens'', but includes a new female vocalist, Henriette Bordvik. From this album, Sirenia has been presented as a 4-piece band, with Morten Veland as the only permanent member. Musical style Like its predecessor album '' At Sixes and Sevens'' (2002), the musical style in ''An Elixir for Existence'' corresponds to the more classic Sirenia's gothic metal of their origins, with some elements of symphonic death-doom. A large number of the songs are concerned with mental conditions, be it depression (''"Voices Within"''), drug use (''"Euphoria"'') or thoughts of suicide (''"The Fall Within"''); of course, the meanings of all of these songs are subject to further conjecture.
