Norwegian gothic/symphonic metal masters Sirenia unveiled a brand new single, "Nightside Den". This is the first single from the upcoming album entitled Amanita Messis, and at the same time the band's first release since the previous album 1977, which was released in May 2023. The upcoming album, Amanita Messis, will be released in 2026, but at a date yet to be confirmed.
Picking up the trail where the previous album left off, the band continues to deliver melodic and catchy metal with a symphonic touch. True to the band's signature style, the songs are perfectly balanced between the classic past and the modern touch of the future. "Nightside Den" is a catchy and melodic song, a great first single to let the fans know that the band is back in the game with brand new original material.
Amanita Messis will be an epic journey through the renowned musical style of the band, which celebrates its 25th anniversary next year. Lots of special anniversary tours and shows are in the works. 2026 will be an exciting and busy year for Sirenia; it will be the perfect occasion to see the band live.
Morten Veland comments: "We are very excited to be back again with some brand new Sirenia material. 'Nightside Den' is in many ways a typical Sirenia song; it has a lot of those typical elements that the band loves to include in their songs. It's a melodic and groovy midtempo song with a very catchy chorus and a nice symphonic touch. This is our first song from the upcoming album Amanita Messis. We are very pleased to share this song with you all. Make sure to head over to your favourite digital platform and check it out." Link
