Biography

Morten Veland (born December 4, 1977) was one of the founding members of the Norwegian band Tristania.

He was the main text composer/songwriter, and he was responsible for the growling vocals, and played guitar, until he left Tristania after the first two full length albums, because of social and musical differences.

After that he formed his own band Sirenia, composing the same genre of music, in which he contributes nearly all of the instruments as well as the growling vocals. The rest of the band are mostly used on live performances only.

Morten also records songs under the name Mortemia.

    I think his voice is sometimes overrated not his compositions. His past compositions were awesome (from Tristania to Sirenia's past music) but he is overrated at all because in Tristania he wasn't the only who composed that great music as always people say.

    I do think so too. He has made great compositions throughout his musical career, and in my opinion, he isn't overrated at all.

    Maybe he's a good musician, but as a singer he is indeed overrated as hell.

    He's not overrated, in fact my favorite albums of Tristania are the ones with him in them. Sirenia was awesome too until their pop experimentation on their latest album(which is probably his only bad album so far). He sings well, his lyrics are great and he plays well too.

    I don't see how he's overrated... I personally think he's under-appreciated. :p

    Yes, he is overrated. He's very good, but there are other good songwriters and guitarists and singers in the world.

    He's not overrated, he is a very good guitarist, a very good singer, a very good composer and a very good lyricist. How could he be overrated ? I'd rather say he's underrated...
