Sirenia is a Norwegian gothic/symphonic metal band founded by Morten Veland in 2001 after his departure from Tristania.

Founded by Morten Veland in 2001; multiple female vocalists have featured in the band's recordings and line-up changes discussed in reviews include Fabienne Gondamin, Henriette Bordvik, Monika Pedersen and Ailyn. Reviews note recurring elements such as choirs, orchestral/symphonic arrangements, violin parts and Veland's growled vocals; Veland is repeatedly credited as the primary composer.

DeBaser's reviews of Sirenia cover the band's first full-length era (albums from At Sixes And Sevens to The Enigma Of Life). Critics note repeated stylistic traits (choir/voice patterns, Gregorian chants, orchestration), lineup changes of female vocalists, and an ongoing debate between catchy choruses and perceived lack of originality.

For:Fans of gothic and symphonic metal; listeners interested in female-fronted metal and Morten Veland's work.

 I have to, for all intents and purposes, call it a masterpiece (perhaps the only one ever composed by the band).

 The 2009 seems like a lucky year for Sirenia, a Norwegian gothic metal band founded by singer and composer Morten Veland after he closed the chapter with his previous group, Tristania.
