Nightside Den is the title of Sirenia’s brand new song, the first single from the upcoming album Amanita Messis. The song was released one week ago and the videoclip premiered on Sirenia’s official youtube channel yesterday.
‘Nightside Den’ is in many ways a typical Sirenia song, it has a lot of those typical elements that the band loves to include in their songs. It’s a melodic and groovy mid-tempo song with a very catchy chorus and a nice Symphonic touch. The videoclip was shot in Marseille, France – the hometown of lead singer Emma Zoldan. The premiere will be hosted by Morten Veland, the band’s founder, songwriter and guitar player. Check out ‘Nightside Den’ on Sirenia’s official Youtube channel.
Nightside Den is the title of Sirenia’s brand new track, the first single from the upcoming album Amanita Messis.
This is the band’s first release since the previous album 1977 went live almost 2,5 years ago. Picking up the trail where the previous album left off, the band continues to deliver melodic and catchy metal with a symphonic touch. True to the band’s signature style the songs are perfectly balanced between the classic past and the modern touch of the future.
Nightside Den is a catchy and melodic song, a great first single to let the fans know that the band is back in the game with brand new original material. Amanita Messis will be an epic journey through the renowned musical style of the band who celebrates their 25th years anniversary next year. Lots of special anniversary tours and shows are in the works. 2026 will be an exciting and busy year for Sirenia, it will be the perfect occasion to see the band live.
“We are very excited to be back again with some brand new Sirenia material. ‘Nightside Den’ is in many ways a typical Sirenia song, it has a lot of those typical elements that the band loves to include in their songs. It’s a melodic and groovy midtempo song with a very catchy chorus and a nice Symphonic touch. This is our first song from the upcoming album ‘Amanita Messis’. We are very pleased to share this song with you all, make sure to head over to your favourite digital platform and check it out.”
Hammerheart Records have announced the reissue of two Sirenia goth metal classics, which will see the light of day on 10th October, 2025. At Sixes And Sevens (2002) and An Elixer for Existance (2004) will see a release on vinyl for the first time.
After leaving Tristania, one of the key bands in early gothic metal, Morten Veland created Sirenia to pursue his own musical vision without compromise. At Sixes and Sevens picks up where Beyond the Veil left off, but pushes further into gothic, gymphonic, and progressive metal territory. At Sixes And Sevens blends heavy riffs, layered synths, and dramatic vocal arrangements into something both dark and cinematic. Pete Johansen’s violin adds a haunting edge, and the vocal approach expands beyond the usual growl/clean contrast, adding a third clean male voice for more dynamic interplay. An Elixir for Existence is a darker, heavier, and even more immersive step into the depths of gothic metal. This is where emotional weight meets sheer sonic intensity.
To fans of this emotionally and musically complex art form, this is truly an essential part of any collection of gothic metal albums. It underscores Veland’s unique ability to mold together a large collection of ideas into one cohesive musical illustration of dark beauty.
Track-list: 1. Lithium and a Lover 2. Voices Within 3. A Mental Symphony 4. Euphoria 5. In My Darkest Hours 6. Save Me From Myself 7. The Fall Within 8. Star-crossed 9. Seven Sirens and a Silver Tea

International symphonic metal force SIRENIA reveal their third and final new single, entitled “Wintry Heart”! Ranking at the top of their genre for more than 20 years, the band will release their eleventh studio album, 1977, on May 26, 2023 via Napalm Records. Led by mastermind Morten Veland, SIRENIA gathered worldwide press coverage with their previous releases and toured throughout Europe, Latin America, North America, Asia and Australia.
Fast-paced new single “Wintry Heart” gives a bittersweet taste of early 90’s vibes, roaring guitars and synth melodies, exploring a new style like never before. The single comes with an exciting performance music video.
Morten Veland on “Wintry Heart”: ‘Wintry Heart’ is a powerful, melodic and more up-tempo song. I also find it to be very energetic – it’s definitely one of the songs on the 1977 album that I really look forward to performing live. The chorus also has a great hook line. I hope you’ll enjoy it!”
Captivating album opener “Deadlight” is followed by “Wintry Heart”, and “Nomadic” that represents SIRENIA’s characteristic dark and heavy side as shredding guitar riffs alternate with playful interludes while relentless drums and symphonic electronic elements go hand in hand with one another. “A Thousand Scars” marks a totally new fusion for SIRENIA, as heavy symphonic tunes dressed as remarkable rock riffs and poppy rhythms dance together with the feathery light vocals of Emmanuelle. With the eerie and epic tunes of “Fading to the Deepest Black”, the song is reminiscent of their last album, Riddles, Ruins & Revelations (2021). Kicking off with vertiginous blast beats and a mesmerizing performance by Emmanuelle Zoldan, a warm vocal interlude by Morten Veland supports the song’s stunning atmosphere before it leads into an impressive guitar solo. Following their operatic symphonic highs, the heavy side of SIRENIA is not forgotten and appears especially towards the end of their 11th record.

Symphonic metal unit SIRENIA have unveiled their powerful second single, “Deadlight”, today, accompanied by a visually palpable official music video! The international four-piece led by mastermind Morten Veland is set to release their 11th album, 1977, on May 26, 2023 – exploring a new style like never before.

The world of soulful violin and fragile piano lines build up an enchanting, energetic atmosphere that is underlined by the impressive voice of multi-talented mezzo soprano singer Emmanuelle Zoldan. Transporting the listener to a retro auditory arcade harking back to when groovy synthwave melodies dominated the world of music, the international band merges late 70’s and 80’s pop rock stylings with synthwave elements and their remarkable, hard-hitting symphonic melodies – shaking the listener to the core.
Mastermind Morten Veland about “Deadlight”: “Deadlight is in many ways a typical SIRENIA song, it has all those elements which is represenatble for our sound and style.I find it to be a very melodic and catchy song, and a good choice for our second single off the new album 1977. I hope you’ll enjoy it.”
“Deadlight” is followed by the fast-paced “Wintry Heart”, which gives a bittersweet taste of early 90’s vibes and roaring guitars, while “Nomadic” represents SIRENIA’s characteristic dark and heavy side as shredding guitar riffs alternate with playful interludes while relentless drums and symphonic electronic elements go hand in hand with one another. “A Thousand Scars” marks a totally new fusion for SIRENIA, as heavy symphonic tunes dressed as remarkable rock riffs and poppy rhythms dance together with the feathery light vocals of Emmanuelle.

Exploring a new style like never before – symphonic metal icons SIRENIA revolutionize their melodic darkness on the brand new studio album, 1977, set to be released on May 26, 2023 via Napalm Records. Transporting the listener to a retro auditory arcade harking back to when groovy synthwave melodies dominated the world of music, the international band merges late 70’s and 80’s pop rock stylings with synthwave elements and their remarkable, hard-hitting symphonic melodies – shaking the listener to the core.
Showing off their multifaceted nature at its best, the first single cut from 1977 comes as an absolute time machine in form of the record’s bonus track, “Twist in my Sobriety”. The cover of the million-times-over streamed track by German born British singer Tanita Tikaram matches the surprisingly deep voice that presents vocalist Emmanuelle Zoldan in a very new range, while the eerie mid-tempo appears in a brand new light of modern synth beats and characteristic synth-oboe. Transporting their fans right into smokey, neon lit nightclubs, the eclectic mix of 1977 opens up exciting new facets of symphonic, electronic and groove elements in SIRENIA’s music.
Bandleader, multi-instrumentalist, composer and songwriter Morten Veland states: “’Twist in my Sobriety’ is the first single from our upcoming album entitled 1977. This is the bonus track of our 11th album, and it is a cover version of Tanita Tikaram‘s original from 1988. I have loved this song since it was released, and it has a very melancholic vibe to it, so it felt like an interesting project to make a SIRENIA version of it. I hope that you will enjoy it while we wait for the upcoming album release.”
