Sirenia

Sirenia is the band formed by guitarist/vocalist Morten Veland following his departure from Tristania. Whatever issues Veland had with his former mates appear not to be based on musical differences, as Sirenia follows a similar path as Tristania (both with Veland, and since his departure from them), that being gothic/atmospheric metal with a variety of vocal styles including Veland's blackened lead vocals, female soprano vocals, and male choirs that occasionally bring Therion to mind. It's good to see Veland prospering on his own, just as it's good to see Tristania continue to excel in his absence.
