Nordic epic metal masters Sirenia have released a full album audio preview for their upcoming Arcane Astral Aeons release, out on October 26th via Napalm Records. Band leader Morten Veland about the artwork and the album: “ The album was recorded in Audio Avenue Studios (Norway), and Sound Suite Studios (France), while the mixing and mastering took place in Hansen Studios (Denmark) with mixing engineer Jacob Hansen. This album is something unique to us as it is the first one we have made together with our fans, everyone who have supported our pledge campaign has directly contributed to the funding of the album and to make it what it has turned out to be. We are very proud of what we have achieved together and we're very eager to share it with you, hoping that you all will find it as special as we do."
