Sirenia

Arcane Astral Aeons

by Sirenia

supported by

H.L. SIRENIA has always been one of the leading bands in the female fronted metal sector and "Arcane Astral Aeons" solidifies this status. We enjoy one hour of smooth gothic metal, mainly straight forward and catchy as pop music, but some well placed and balanced symphonic elements and vocal variations as male vocals, growling and female operatic vocals keep the songs more than interesting and heavy enough for repeated listening. For me, it is even the best album in SIRENIA's discography so far! Favorite track: Into the Night.

about

Two years after Dim Days Of Dolor mastermind Morten Veland presents the ninth Sirenia album: Arcane Astral Aeons once more reflects the Norwegian`s love for title alliterations and succeeds in infusing the darkest night with the brightest colors. Who could resist a symphonic, unbridled opener like ‘In Styx Embrace‘?

Singer Emmanuelle Zoldan`s ethereal mezzo-soprano voice connects all 11 varied and spirited compositions: the insanely melodic ‘Into The Night‘ impressively showcases her abilities and flows into the catchy ‘Love Like Cyanide‘ that`s not even afraid to employ a small handful of black metal trademarks. Danish producer legend Jacob Hansen managed to harmonize Sirenia`s more soothing side with edgy metal sounds and delivers a perfectly balanced wild ride. The most compelling release so far courtesy of Morten Veland!

"Apocalypse & Chill" is pretty much the ultimate coronavirus mood. I don't think Delain saw the pandemic coming when they came up with this idea, but it's timely as hell. Matthew Graybosch

Looking For You
by Amberian Dawn

supported by 10 fans who also own “Arcane Astral Aeons”

Strange ... while listening to this nice pop metal album I thought by myself that "Looking for you" sounds somehow like "Abba goes metal", before I had even realised that there is also an ABBA-cover song on the album. Certainly the retro-keyboard sounds underline this impression, but the catchy songwriting of each and every track with stomping drums and plenty of nice sing-a-longs point in that direction as well. If you can imagine female fronted happy-go-lucky metal, this one is for you! H.L.

Le passage solo sur All Heroes Fall serait déjà suffisant pour acheter l'album. Mais celui-ci est fantastique dans son ensemble ! Tyr est un groupe fantastique, capable de s'améliorer et de se renouveler constamment. John Arktor
