Symphonic/gothic metal outfit Sirenia will release a new album, 1977, on 26 May via Napalm Records. The band has just shared the first song/performance video, "Twist In My Sobriety (Tanita Tikaram cover)", which awaits you in the player below.
The symphonic metal icons effortlessly merge 80s rock and synth-wave elements on their immense 11th studio album. Transporting the listener to a retro auditory arcade harking back to when groovy synth-wave melodies dominated the world of music, the international band merges the late 70s and 80s pop-rock stylings with synth-wave elements and their remarkable, hard-hitting symphonic melodies - shaking the listener to the core.
Showing off their multifaceted nature at its best, the first single cut from 1977 comes as an absolute time machine in form of the record's bonus track, "Twist In My Sobriety (Tanita Tikaram cover)". The cover of the million-times-over streamed track by German-born British singer Tanita Tikaram matches the surprisingly deep voice that presents vocalist Emmanuelle Zoldan in a very new range, while the eerie mid-tempo appears in a brand new light of modern synth beats and characteristic synth-oboe. Transporting their fans right into smokey, neon-lit nightclubs, the eclectic mix of 1977 opens up exciting new facets of symphonic, electronic and groove elements in Sirenia's music.
Bandleader, multi-instrumentalist, composer and songwriter Morten Veland states: "'Twist In My Sobriety' is the first single from our upcoming album entitled 1977. This is the bonus track of our 11th album, and it is a cover version of Tanita Tikaram's original from 1988. I have loved this song since it was released, and it has a very melancholic vibe to it, so it felt like an interesting project to make a Sirenia version of it. I hope that you will enjoy it while we wait for the upcoming album release".
Once again, Norwegian mastermind, bandleader, multi-instrumentalist, composer and songwriter Morten Veland produced the 11th record, while HK at Vamacara Studio, France, took care of the mixing. 1977 it's proof that after over twenty years of existence, Sirenia still ranks at the very top of the genre.
