Portuguese black metallers Sirius are working on the composition and structure of the new album. As expected, they will radically change a sound, maybe beyond someone's wildest expectations. It will be something like Static-X, Strapping Young Lad, Fear Factory, Machine Head or even hints of Slipknot or Rob Zombie. All this will mixed with huge electro-industrial components (like Nine Inch Nails or Rammstein). Such news is bound to shock the black metal community as well, for Sirius were one of the few bands slated to continue in the footsteps of Emperor, who are disbanding after the initial push of their forthcoming "Prometheus - The Discipline of Fire and Demise". Sirius' third album is expected to recording in January or February of next year.

Sirius have just finished recording their new album, to be entitled "Spectral Transition - Dimension Sirius", in Norway at Akkerhaugen Lydstudio. The final outcome is beyond expectations. The band have made a huge progression from their debut album "Aeons of Magick". The new sound of Sirius is much more extreme with a bigger focus on the guitars, but the symphonic aspect of the band is of course still present.
