Hammerheart Records, black vinyl, gatefold, reissue
Morten Veland (mastermind of Tristania) released his debut album in 2002, which is widely regarded as one of the best Gothic Metal albums ever. It is now available on vinyl!
After leaving Tristania, one of the key bands in the early days of 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, Symphonic and Progressive Metal territory.
The album blends heavy riffs, layered synths and dramatic vocal arrangements to create a sound that is both dark and cinematic. Pete Johansen’s violin adds a haunting edge and the vocal approach expands beyond the usual growl/clean contrast by adding a third clean male voice to create more dynamic interplay. For fans of this emotionally and musically complex genre, this album is an essential addition to any Gothic Metal collection. It underscores Veland’s unique ability to meld a wide range of ideas into a cohesive musical illustration of dark beauty. This album will appeal to fans of power metal as well as symphonic and neo-classical music.
A defining moment in Gothic Metal, it is now finally available on Vinyl!
