Mastermind Morten Veland has just one thing in mind for Sirenia in 2016: pure and utter melancholy. Almost two years after The Seventh Life Path, the Norwegians have unleashed their latest dark vision of Gothic and symphonic metal that shuns the light and stays enshrouded in the “Veil Of Winter.” Dim Days Of Dolor also marks the first Sirenia release featuring Emmanuelle Zoldan on lead vocals – a trained opera singer who has been with Sirenia as a choir singer for over a decade. A new life for one of the genre’s biggest and most popular acts.
