Serenity

Serenity is an Austrian symphonic metal band founded in 2001. The band's lyrics regularly take up Christian and medieval themes. The band attracted some attention in 2004 when Serenity opened for rock icon Ronnie James Dio. In 2005, the rock magazines Metal Hammer and Rock Hard voted the demo recording Engraved Within 'Demo of the Month'. It was not until 2007 that Serenity released their debut album Words Untold & Dreams Unlived. The band achieved greater fame in 2013 with their fourth album War of Ages. Serenity then embarked on their first extensive headlining tour. New studio material followed in 2016 with Codex Atlanticus. This marks their first chart entries in Germany (position 99) and Austria (position 61). The follow-up Lionheart was released just one year later. The album climbed to number 29 in Germany. In the same year, Serenity received the Austrian music award Amadeus in the Hard & Heavy category. The success continues with the next album. The Last Knight makes it to number 25 in Germany and also reaches the charts in Austria and Switzerland. In the fall of 2023, Serenity released their eighth studio album Nemesis A.D., which reached number 12 in Germany.
