Sirenia (band)
Sirenia is a Norwegian gothic metal band from Stavanger, founded in 2001 by Morten Veland. The band uses melodic instrumentals, synthesizers, and distorted guitars with female vocals, male death vocals, clean male vocals, a choir, and violins. The lyrics are concerned with human existence, emotion, and mental states. History 2001–2003: ''At Sixes and Sevens'' In January 2001, Veland, a founding member of Tristania left the band, within a few weeks Veland had a new band along with three other members. He had written material for Tristania's next release but because of the split, he used it towards Sirenia's debut album '' At Sixes and Sevens'' with other new material written for it as well.

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. Track listing All songs written by Morten Veland. Personnel Credits for ''An Elixir for Existence'' adapted from liner notes.(2 ...
