SIRENIA publish catchy gothic/ symphonic/ female fronted metal in a respectable steady manner as not many other bands. "Riddles, Ruins & Revelations" is no exception. The album's catchiness is comparable to pop music but roughing guitars help to file it under metal. Some symphonic elements or rough male vocals bring some variation into the tracklist but in general the songs are dominated by Emmanuelle's strong pleasant voice. Nice one from the first listening.

SIRENIA has always been one of the leading bands in the female fronted metal sector and "Arcane Astral Aeons" solidifies this status. We enjoy one hour of smooth gothic metal, mainly straight forward and catchy as pop music, but some well placed and balanced symphonic elements and vocal variations as male vocals, growling and female operatic vocals keep the songs more than interesting and heavy enough for repeated listening. For me, it is even the best album in SIRENIA's discography so far! H.L.
