Hi Friends,
As part of the vibrant heavy metal scene in the Central Florida area during the 1980s, SIREN established themselves as a band whose modest, but devoted following spanned the globe. They set themselves apart early on by foregoing the traditional demo cassette and releasing a vinyl single, “Metro-Mercenary,” as their musical debut. This, along with a well-orchestrated media outreach to fanzines, magazines, and radio stations around the world eventually led to a healthy amount of very positive press coverage. The band would go on to release two, additional demo releases and two, full-length albums before disbanding in 1990.
Now, after over 30 years, the original members of the band are gathering together for one, special performance at the 21st edition of the Keep It True festival in Lauda-Königshofen, Germany in April, 2018. For the first time in three decades, Doug Lee (vocals), Ed Aborn (drums), Hal Dunn (guitars), and Ed Hauser (bass) along with guitarist Todd Grubbs (formerly of Florida’s Atomic Opera) will share the same stage for a trip back to the old school. With a set that focuses on the original demos and first album, SIREN will summon from the past the power and energy that put them on the map all of those years ago.
To commemorate this special event, the band will also be re-releasing a special, multi-disc package that contains remastered versions of the “Metro-Mercenary” single, “Iron Coffins” demo, “Dead of Night” demo and “No Place Like Home” album along with some new brand material featuring the current incarnation of the band. In addition, limited edition Siren merchandise will be available at the Keep It True festival and online if still available after the performance.
After legendary Steve Grimmett visited us at KIT 2017 for a signing session after his horrible leg amputation, we of course had to get him and GRIM REAPER back on the KIT stage for 2018. This man is a legend, a hero and an idol to many. He is enduring this bad period of his life in such a brave way, that we can only show our highest respect to him. At KIT you donated 1300 Euro to him and his wife, which is amazing. Thank you all for that again!!
