“Their hauntingly beautiful melodies will leave you feeling like a sailor lost at sea, being helplessly lured in by the sweetly dangerous sounds of the siren. ”
Muse to Sirens, led by the ethereal vocals of Vanity Ladner, the hypnotic droning guitar riffs of Thomas Ladner, and the heavy, fatal drums of Kristen Huete, is one of Alabama’s most alluring musical gems. The band's journey began in 2018 in the vibrant bars & underground venues of Shanghai. Conjuring sonic inspiration from the golden era of Gothic music and the rich folklore and musical roots of America’s Deep South, Muse to Sirens effortlessly creates uniquely captivating and hypnotic listening experiences that lure their audience to a place where one might feel as if they’re standing at a crossroads in rural Mississippi, brokering a deal for their soul with the devil.
Since returning to the US, Muse to Sirens has performed along the Gulf Coast and set up new roots in Pennsylvania's underground music scene.
The band has been featured as the first US band to be interviewed by Viva! Podcast, based in the UK, and are 2023 Nappie Award Finalist for Best Underground / Metal Band.
The band is currently working on releasing an EP in late 2023 and welcomes opportunities for collaboration with broadcasters, other musicians, and bloggers from around the world.
