Stavanger, Norway-based symphonic gothic metal band Sirenia issued tenth full-length studio album Riddles, Ruins & Revelations<\/em> on February 12th, 2021 through Napalm Records.<\/p>\n

Morten Veland commented: \u201cRiddles, Ruins & Revelations<\/em> is Sirenia\u2019s tenth studio album. The album is very diverse, as a Sirenia album should be. There\u2019s a lot of material that shows the band from a new side, and there is lots of material that is to be expected from the band musically. All in all, the album will take the listeners through a journey that will cover both familiar and unexplored musical landscapes. We hope that you will enjoy the journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Riddles, Ruins & Revelations<\/em> was recorded, mixed and mastered by Morten Veland at Audio Avenue Studios in Stavanger.<\/p>\n

The outing once again features longtime collaborator Joakim N\u00e6ss, who contributes clean vocals on the song \u2018Downwards Spiral\u2019.<\/p>\n
