Apr 10, 2017 But with 'An Elixir for Existence,' he's back to kick the dust off of his shoes and show his former bandmates that they can stab him in the back all they want, but it'll be little more than a slap in the face for him. One downside is the new female vocalist, Henriette Bordvik.

An Elixir for Existence is the second studio album by the Norwegian gothic metal band Sirenia, released in 2004. The album follows in the same vein as the previous At Sixes and Sevens, but includes a new female vocalist, Henriette Bordvik.[2]
A large number of the songs are concerned with mental conditions, be it depression ('Voices Within'), drug use ('Euphoria') or thoughts of suicide ('The Fall Within'); of course, the meanings of all of these songs are subject to further conjecture.
