Gothic metal from The 13th Floor

If you haven't heard of Sirenia yet, you are missing out on some really captivating gothic metal and rock music. Originating from Norway, the band also features some classical music influence in their sound and the angelic voice of lead singer Ailyn (who is also known for Spanish reality TV), Morten Veland performing guitars and vocals (clean and harsh on various tracks), Jonathan A. Perez on drums and Michael S. Krumins on guitars.


The 13th Floor is the band's latest album. It was released in 2009 and features the following tracks:

After listening to The 13th Floor, I would definitely have to classify this band as one of my Top Five Gothic Metal Bands. That reminds me, I think I'll put that list together for a future blog entry. Stay tuned for more...
