Gothic metal with a modern face: SIRENIA move forward with the album Amanita Messis

SIRENIA once again open a dark chapter of their history. The new single "Callous Eyes" cuts deep with cold melody, a modern pulse, and the band's trademark gothic metal grandeur that has kept them among the genre's elite for 25 years.

The second single from the upcoming album Amanita Messis clearly shows that SIRENIA are not afraid of evolution even after a quarter of a century. Electronic layers, massive riffs, and a strong atmosphere function here as a single organism — catchy, dark, and uncompromising. "Callous Eyes" is not a gentle caress, but a hypnotic pressure that digs deeper with every listen.

The band's brain and heart, Morten Veland, once again balances between past and future. He does not deny the gothic roots, but gives them a modern face that stands strong in today's metal world. The striking vocals of Emmanuelle Zoldan add icy elegance and emotional power, contrasting sharply with the hardness of the instrumental side.

The new album Amanita Messis will be more than just another entry in the band's rich discography — it will be a celebratory yet dark return to the roots, seasoned with a contemporary sound. The band has already confirmed a special anniversary tour and exceptional concerts where the new material will be presented at full force.

SIRENIA remain faithful to their vision: darkness, emotion, melody, and power. "Callous Eyes" proves that this gothic metal machine is still running at full throttle — and it has certainly not said its last word.
