After establishing themselves with their first demo three of the founding members left the band. Since 2004 the line up of Serenity consists of Georg Neuhauser, Thomas Buchberger, Simon Holzknecht, Mario Hirzinger and Andreas Schipflinger.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nThe production of their new album started in December in Munich and they completed the album \u201cFallen Sanctuary\u201d in May 2008 to be released in August. Serenity is a symphonic metal band that delivers catchy melodic tracks. At some points it can be said they play strong power metal, progressive at times creating songs full of melody and orchestral parts accompanied by great guitar riffs.<\/p>\n<p>With this album Serenity presents tight songs with catchy refrains, a tight rhythm section and great vocals. Emotional and still very powerful, exactly what you need for this type of music. To enrich the symphonic atmosphere Serenity worked together with Oliver Philipps (Everon) who took care of the diverse orchestral parts. Georg Neuhauser takes care of the vocals and shows he is a very capable singer. To make the vocal melodies stand out even more they used a choir to make the sound of the harmonies more massive. Delivering a strong album.<\/p>\n<p>Sandra Schleret from Elis appears as a guest vocalist on the track: \u201cFairytales\u201d, that would fit in a rock opera or musical perfectly. It is a beautiful song. \u201cVelatum\u201d is a very strong song, with a capella parts that make you shiver. The keyboard plays an essential part in the Serenity sound. But they know how to find a good mix between keyboard and guitars. Many tracks are built up in a fine way, showing pounding metal drums or outstanding guitar riffs, but never demanding more attention than Georgs voice. \u201cSheltered (By the Obscure)\u201d has a great intro that starts with a flute.<br \/>\nThe orchestral sound scape is very strong on this track. I can say a lot about the other tracks but simply said I just like them all.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>01 All Lights Reserved<br \/>\n02 Rust of Coming Ages<br \/>\n03 Coldness Kills<br \/>\n04 To Stone She Turned<br \/>\n05 Fairytales<br \/>\n06 The heartblood Symphony<br \/>\n07 Velatum<br \/>\n08 Derelict<br \/>\n09 Sheltered (By the Obscure)<br \/>\n10 Oceans of Ruby<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><br \/>\nSerenity MySpace<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.serenity-band.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Serenity Official<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Releasedate: 29-08-2008; Label: Napalm Records By: Elvira Visser Serenity formed back in 2001 as a melodic metal band with the right amount of progressive influences.
