Sirenia - Part Ways With Guitarist, Announce Replacement
The following statement was posted on Sirenia's myspace page:
After almost 4 years of co-operation guitarplayer Bjørnar Landa has decided to part ways with Sirenia, in order to have more time for his family and studies. We end the co-operation as great friends, just as we started it. The band would like to wish Bjørnar all the best for the future, and thank him for all the great experiences we shared over the years.
Sirenia's new guitarplayer is Michael S. Krumins. Michael played together with Jonathan in 'Trail Of Tears' in the very beginning of his musical career. After leaving this band at an early stage, he explored different styles of music in the years to come. In 2003 he joined 'Green Carnation' as a lead guitarist, after the recent split up of this band he decided to join Sirenia. Michael is educated at the Conservatory of Music in Kristiansand.

Sirenia - Announce New Singer
After a few months of search and the cancellation as support of the Therion tour, Morten Veland's Sirenia have finally announced a new vocalist. This is the band's statemant regarding the new frontwoman:
"Sirenia is finally ready to introduce their new female singer. Ailyn - Born 1982 in Barcelona, now settled in Granada, Spain. Ailyn has been strongly attached to music all her life, and began singing at an early age. Later on she studied singing at The School of Music Albéniz, and obtained singing lessons with several singing teachers around Spain. In the past she's been singing and performing all kinds of styles and genres, but in 2004 she discovered the sounds of metal combined with atmospheric and classical elements, this style of music made a big impression and she knew right away in which direction she wanted to take her career. Sirenia has done pre-productions of several new songs and recognizes that Ailyn's voice match perfectly with the new songmaterial. The band is very pleased to have Ailyn onboard and we all look forward to a future collaboration."

Sirenia - Part Ways With Vocalist
According to Sirenia's official website:
"Due to musical disagreements singer Monika Pedersen and Sirenia has decided to part ways, here is Monika's statement:
"After much consideration I have chosen to leave Sirenia, but I will continue with music. The reason is, that we have too many musical differences, and I don't feel like it's the right band for me. I have had a great time in the band, lots of good experiences and only wish the best for the band in the future. I want to send a big "Thank You" to all the fans for your support - you haven't heard the last of me!"
As a result of these circumstances Sirenia will have to pull out of the planned European tour with Therion. The show in Athens will be postponed until may 2008. You have our apologies for this, Sirenia will be back on the road next year. We will use the coming months to find a new singer, as well as composing music for our next album."

Sirenia - Pull Out Of Tour With Therion
The following message has been posted by Christofer Johnsson on the official Therion website:
"Due to line-up problems Sirenia are forced to pull out and won't be able to fulfill their commitments. As we're on tour and time is short, we won't replace them. Therion will be playing 2,5 hours with a break in between and there will be a considerably improved stage scenery so there is no real need for a mid act in order to have a full evening going. On top on this there will be special guests and special performances (more info to come on that further on)."
The Vision Bleak will open with a 30 minute set, followed by an 2 1/2 hours set by Therion including one pause of 20 minutes to set change Therions production.
Therion will tour with belly-dancers & dancers + special guests of Therions history, choir and rock band. A total of about 14 people.

Sirenia - Studio Time Booked
Studios Booked!
We will start the recordings of our new album on the 17th of July. We have chosen a somewhat different solution this time, and will record altogether in 3 different studios. This is a solution that we feel can add something new and different to our sound, as well as keeping the essential basics of Sirenia. First we will track the drums in Jailhouse studios in Norway with engineer Hans Eidsgard, then we proceed to Sound Suite Studios in France to record everything else, together with Terje Refsnes. And finally we will mix and master the album at Antfarm studios in Denmark with Tue Madsen. We look forward to work with Hans and Tue for the first time, and of course we are eager to work with Terje again, who's been a part of our team for many years. The recordings will be completed the 1st of October.

Sirenia - Henriette Bordvik Leaves The Band
Henriette Bordvik posted the following message on the Sirenia's site, explaining the reasons of her departure:
"Well, hell-o rockers! .. It's a difficult call this one, but it has now come down to me leaving SIRENIA. Seeing how the band is working full-time on the new album - the new record deal and everything - theres a lot coming up, and as im not able to give SIRENIA all the attention they need and sure as hell worthy of at this very moment, we have come to the decision that it is for the best of the future of the band that we part ways.
No hard feelings what so ever, just due to a bit of musical differences and such, I don't think SIRENIA is what really gives me the right spirit to keep going and give it all for the band.
I wish them the best of luck in the future and on the next release(es), and would like to Salute You All for your most deeply appreciated support!!
In Love & Respect,
Henriette Bordvik"
The band is already looking for a sustitute, they "encourage dedicated vocalists to get in contact by mail; contact@sirenia.no
We would especially like to hear from singers from the south-west of Norway."
