Биография

SIREN is an American traditional heavy metal band that was formed in Brandon, Florida in 1981. The Tampa Bay area was a hot spot for metal in the early and mid-80’s producing several notable bands such as Savatage, Obituary, Nasty Savage and more. In 1984, the band released its debut 7” single, “Metro-Mercenary,” which was well-received in the metal underground. Having established themselves, they released a four-song cassette, “Iron Coffins,” in 1985. By early 1986, the band had refined its sound and released their most powerful demo, “Dead of Night.” It was the strength of this demo that landed their first record deal. The resulting album, “No Place Like Home,” was released in the fall of 1986. The band toured and promoted the album in 1987 and re-entered the studio in 1988 to record “Financial Suicide.” Despite continued positive critical and fan response, SIREN went on hiatus in 1990. This break would span decades and seemed to be the end of the road for the band until fate intervened. At the request of fans from around the world, SIREN was offered the chance to reunite and perform at the prestigious KEEP IT TRUE festival in Germany in 2018. After the success of this performance, SIREN entered the studio again to record an album of new material. This album, “Back from the Dead” was released in 2020. The new music continues in the vein of their influences such as Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Accept and Saxon, etc. but with a sound that is uniquely their own.
