Stavanger, Norway (2001 – present)
Sirenia is a Norwegian gothic metal band, formed in Stavanger, Norway in 2001. Sirenia combines strong melodic instrumentals, keyboard synthesis, and guitar works with light, female vocals (Fabienne Gondamin, Henriette Bordvik, Monika Pedersen, and currently Ailyn), male death vocals, and a choir. Current band members are Morten Veland (programming, growling, clean vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards), Ailyn (female vocals), Jonathan Perez (drums), and Michael Krumins (guitars, ex-Green Carnation).
Most of Sirenia’s songs are atmospheric, yet intense with melodic backgrounds and interludes. The lyrics are concerned with human existence, emotion, and mental states.
Sirenia (at first called “Masters of Sirenia”), named after the Sirens of Greek mythology, was founded in 2001 after Morten Veland left Tristania. The band failed to find a suitable singer prior to recording in France, so they conducted auditions and found Fabienne Gondamin for the recording session of At Sixes and Sevens.
On the subsequent tour and follow-up album, An Elixir for Existence, Gondamin was replaced by Henriette Bordvik.
On September 13, 2005, it was announced that Bordvik would be leaving the band, and the search for a new singer commenced. Bordvik’s replacement, Monika Pedersen of the band Sinphonia, was introduced on April 10, 2006. In the same year, Bjørnar Landa (from Artifact) joined the band as a guitarist.

I adore the use of the choir, but death growl vocals have never been my thing, so I can't listen to this band very much. Too bad.

Ailyn tiene que entrenar su voz. Parece realmente horrible, sobre todo vivo, su voz no es mal total aunque.

In live, Ailyn's voice is much better than in The 13th Floor. Her voice reminds me Henriette Bordvik live. And she is a really nice girl =)

ASAS is marginally better than AEFE. However, it does not undermine the fact that both of the albums are just awesome :| (2)

You're all drunk. ASAS = AEFE = SS Those records consist of compositions. The two latest releases are just cheap, boring crap (well, there's worse out there, I do admit).
