Norwegian Gothic master, Morten Veland (ex- Tristania) is back with his new band, Sirenia, and their second release, "An Elixir for Existence".
After being kicked out of Tristania, Morten in 2002 released Sirenia's first opus, "At Sixes And Sevens", which got very good critic worldwide (at the same time Tristania's last release, didn't get as much good words).

The timeless classic piece from Sirenia. This release possesses all the good qualities of its sister band Tristania and also has the well-defined features that make it different from Tristania. This album is a highlight of Sirenia's discography for it features the best characteristics Sirenia has ever managed to display. The edgy extreme side, the keyboards and strings, the choir and the unforgettable vocal performance of Henriette Bordvik make this album a true experience for all who like symphonic and Gothic style.

I would venture to say that this album is a testament to the location of Tristania's songwriting talent that has been sorely missed starting with World of Glass. Don't get me wrong, WOG is excellent and I like Tristiana's music, but DAMN, Elixir for Existence is the most amazing GOTH album I've ever heard, maybe even dethroning releases from the almighty Type O-.
