Sirenia - An Elixir For Existence - 2004


An Elixir For Existence

Woah! Looks like the bar has been raised for intensity levels in Gothic Metal! Although Sirenia were not disappointing at all on their last effort, their sound had some pop influences in it and was not very heavy at all. On "An Elixir for Existence" however, Sirenia seem to have recognized that problem and put forward a real hard knocker that is as genre-transcending as anything could possibly get. This is still Gothic Metal; however, if I were to be extremely picky about it, I'd label this Progressive Gothic Metal with a strong Melodic Death influence marked by monster heavy metal riffery! Tristania meets Dark Tranquillity with Children of Bodom and Norther jumping in every now and then….so yeah…this may not be everyone's thing!
