There’s a lot of material that shows the band from a new side, and there is lots of material that is to be expected from the band musically. All in all, the album will take the listeners through a journey that will cover both familiar and unexplored musical landscapes. We hope that you will enjoy the journey.”

Speaking about the video, Sirenia mainman and multi-instrumentalist Morten Veland said: “We are pleased to bring you a lyric video for the song ‘This Curse Of Mine’ taken from our brand new album Riddles, Ruins & Revelations. As touring is not an option these days we might as well be bringing you videos instead of shows. That being said, we really can’t wait to see you all on tour again though. In the meantime, please enjoy ‘This Curse Of Mine’. We hope you like it.”
