What do you mean its not a lyric video? No mention of Patric Ullaeus either?
Not Veland's best work, but it's not completely repulsive.

I'm not sure about this one. Not bad, but certainly not great. Maybe if I give it a few more listens I may see something, but my initial reaction has to be just meh, unfortunately.
Ailyn sounds decent, probably the redeeming factor of the song. The music just feels recycled, however.

Seven Widows Weep was a good single/promo for the previous album, even though the best tracks were not the ones that promoted the work before its release. But this one... ow boy, I sure hope there are some hidden gems within this album that reeks of TEOL otherwise I will be really disappointed.

I had no special problem with the previous albums but it seems that this is going to be their worst by far.

Wow, BORING. And this is coming from the only Sirenia fan in the world who thought that TEOL was a very good album. But THIS... boring through and through. Music repetitive. The "chorus," if you can even call it that, has nothing memorable or interesting about it. The entire song is 3 minutes longer than it should be. This is a bad single, and from a band that usually releases pretty catchy singles.

The Lyrics are awful and the song has absolutely zero hooks. However, I really like how they buried Ailyn's voice into the music so that she doesn't completely ruin the song like she usually does! The background choir was also nicely blended into the song instead of overused like usual. Guitars I thought were great. Overall, while I don't think i'll go out of my way to listen to this song again, it does make me hopeful that the rest of the album will be better.

Believe it not, some of their music is pretty interesting. The entire "The 13th Floor" album is phenomenal, and definitely has its own unique sound compared to the world of symphonic metal.
However, the issue with Sirenia is that their albums tend to be either very good or extremely generic, there is really no middle ground.

The appeal is that their first 2 albums were fantastic. However, they no longer play music in the vein of those 2 albums and every time a new album comes out there is renewed hope that they will for whatever reason.

I see, was surprised at the fanbase b/c all their recent material has seemed very generic to me. I'll dig back into those early albums and check them out though, thanks!

Well, The last one restored my fate in Sirenia. It was a very descent album and kind of come back to the roots, but his single... well it seems all hope is lost.

Generic. I expect this album to be below-average for Sirenia standards. So far, it's all ups and downs for me, periodically - if I don't consider first two albums. I actually really loved Perils, so I know this one I won't.

Same sympho-goth nonsense over and over. Hilarious lyrics, hilarious video.
Morten, you don't really have to feel committed to this clowning.

I like it. It's just a single, we have to listen to all songs in the album. We can hear progress in Veland's songwriting, the choirs are somehting like left behind, there are heavy riffs and interesting keyboards.
In any case haters gonna hate...
