1977 is the eleventh studio album by Norwegian gothic metal band Sirenia. It was released on 26 May 2023 via Napalm Records.[1] Three music videos was made for the album, "Twist in My Sobriety", a cover from English folk singer Tanita Tikaram,[2] "Deadlight" and "Wintry Heart".[3]

Background

[edit]

The title of the album 1977 is a reference to the year of birth of the band's leader, Morten Veland. The cover art features a lonely and abandoned tombstone with no name. Veland said this metaphorically represents the concept of the album: a return to his rock musical roots.[4][5]

The album followed in the same vein as the previous Riddles, Ruins & Revelations (2021), in terms of its commercial style, loaded with synthesizers and a main role in the voice of Emmanuelle Zoldan. However, it was received with much less enthusiasm by the band's fans, being their lowest charting since their first two albums.[6]

Emmanuelle Zoldan said:

"1977" is a very varied and melodic album that explores a new style, infused with 70s-80s vibes. It is a dark album, with symphonic hitting and catchy melodies, that is nevertheless still faithful with the Sirenia sound and soul. The mix has been done by HK at the Vamacara Studio in Paris, who did an amazing job![7]
