SIREN – Debut Full-Length Album Details

“From the beginning we realized Siren had a mind of its own,” says co-guitarist/vocalist Dave Spicer. “We couldn’t sit still long enough for doom, we wouldn’t hold back on the riffs for black metal and the ‘clean’ vocals just added to the confusion. So early on we set aside the labels and guidelines, and I think that was the best decision we could have made. It was honest from the start and it’s an honesty you can hear when it’s all said and done.”

The album’s full track listing is as follows:

01. Fire & Blood
02. Into the Starless Night
03. Ursine Lineage
04. Bastard of the Dreadfort
05. And the Skies Mourned Her Light
06. Hiraeth
07. The Devil Rides Out
08. A Kingdom Aflame

“Lyrically the album has a strong sense of finality to it,” says co-guitarist/vocalist Jared Compton. “Every song deals with the proverbial ‘it’ that comes crashing down and, more importantly, how one chooses to answer it – to submit to it or to harness it. The use of fire as a symbol throughout the album is to communicate the idea of a destructive force but also something that can be used to fuel great things.”

Drums for the album were tracked by Dave Voll of Iron Forge studios (Cincinnati), while all other tracking and mixing was performed by bassist Sam Curtis at his own studio. The album was mastered by Same Wale Productions (UK) with artwork being supplied by Jennifer Warner (Exura of Winterhymn).
