SIRENIA releases single 'Nightside Den' from upcoming album 'Amanita Messis'
13-10-2025
Symphonic metallers SIRENIA have released “Nightside Den”, the first single from the band’s upcoming album, “Amanita Messis”. The follow-up 2023’s “1977” picks up the trail where the previous LP left off, with SIRENIA continuing 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.
SIRENIA bandleader, multi-instrumentalist, composer and songwriter Morten Veland states: “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 favorite digital platform and check it out.”
Hammerheart Records have recently 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.
Both albums can be pre-ordered AT THIS LOCATION.
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.
