Fan Interview: Morgan Claire on Sirenia

Morgan Claire is a devoted fan of Symphonic metal band Sirenia, who hail from Norway. Here she speaks about her contact with the band, her favourite aspects of Sirenia, and Mortens girlfriends blonde moments...

When and how did you discover Sirenia?

Last year in August, I bought Beyond the Veil by Tristania (Morten of Sirenia's former band) and my best friend told me to download Sirenia if I liked it, so I downloaded Lethargica and really loved it...and I also thought Morten was a sexy beast so I got At Sixes and Sevens in December :-)

What do you find so Compelling about Sirenia?

Because is doesn't sound like every other gothic metal band, because Morten is sexy, because the singers aren't all opera chicks, because Morten is sexy, because they try different things without giving up who they are, and because Morten is sexy.

What Album is you're favourite? And Which songs do you enjoy most?

My favorite album is An Elixir for Existence and my favorite song is...I don't know. I have a lot but my favorites overall are Meridian, Manic Aeon, Voices Within, Star-crossed, Sundown and Glades of Summer!




As a close fan, do you have any personal contact with the band members? Have you had any contact in the past?

Well I have contact with Monika and Morten's girlfriend through Myspace since I often leave Monika image comments, she replies sometimes.
...Did I mention that Morten's gf had 30 of 39 blonde moments? Just thought I'd share...


Sirenia have been known for swapping vocalists throughout their 3 albums, which singer is you're personal favourite?

I like all of them. Fabienne is obviously the best vocal wise but she wasn't an official part of the band so I can't say her, Henriette was good live but not so much in studio even though she was sexy, Monika is probably my favorite since I think people judge her too much even though she's nice and talented.

Is there anything that Sirenia could do to make you dislike them?

I don't think there's much they could do- except get rid of Morten. Which WOULD NOT BE COOL.
And finally, what do you think makes a good fan, in general?

I think what makes a good fan is when you stick with the band 'til the very end and always appreciate their music, no matter what it becomes.
