A symphonic metal band from Norway, formed in 2001 and led by Morten Veland.
For a quick sense of their sound, try 'The Path To Decay' or 'Seven Widows Weep'. They're both good examples of that melodic, layered thing they do.
Sirenia matters because they've kept a specific sound alive through years of lineup shifts. Songs like 'The End Of It All' show their blend of heavy guitars and atmospheric layers. They've been a steady presence in the gothic metal scene since 'At Sixes and Sevens' in 2002.
Morten Veland started Sirenia after leaving Tristania. The band released 'An Elixir for Existence' in 2004 and 'The 13th Floor' in 2009, with vocalists changing over time. Veland left in 2007, leading to legal disputes, but Sirenia kept going with albums like 'Perils of the Deep Blue' in 2013.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
