SIRENIA sounds like a mixture of gothic metal and rock with classical orchestrations and electronic elements, in addition to some influences from more extreme metal genres.
The vocal styles are diverse and consist of female vocals, choirs, growls, screams, clean male vocals, whispers and samples.
The lyrics are based on reflections on life, death, love, hate, paranoia, anxiety and mental decline in general.
