Music

Sirenfall

Sirenfall channels a New York metal sound led by vocalist Marissa Detlor, weaving thick modern riffs with airy, atmospheric melodies and a commanding vocal edge. Their music takes cues from the tradition of women-led metal while carving out a dynamic blend that balances weight and melody.
