Rock Sound (UK):
“Get your ears around these guys before they take off.”
Kerrang Radio (UK):
“Siamese have an incredible spirit and deliver a crystal-clear, anthemic sound.”
Hailing from a small country with big dreams, Siamese stands out as a beacon of hope in the Danish music scene.
Drawing inspiration from bands like Architects and Bad Omens, Siamese navigates the contemporary heavy music landscape with finesse.
With the release of album ‘ELEMENTS’ Siamese embarks on a journey of exploration and evolution.
With tracks already gaining traction on Octane and Kerrang! Radio, ‘ELEMENTS’ not only showcases their heavier sound but also commemorates their 10-year journey as Siamese and having shared stages with heavyweights such as Korn, Corey Taylor, Nothing More and Beartooth it is clear that for Siamese, the journey is far from over.
‘The Shape of Water’ (feat. Ten56):
“’The Shape of Water’ is a powerful track featuring Aaron from Ten56, and hopefully it showcases where the new Siamese record is heading. Expect the unexpected!”
‘Vertigo’:
“‘Vertigo‘ which for us is a more mellow release, if in fact a song the turbulent feelings during anxiety. Slowly recovering from serious anxiety during the pandemic, ‘Vertigo’ is my description of that never ending maze you find yourself in, which is the embodiment of the disease.“
‘Predator’:
“Dehumanization is people’s favourite past time activity these days. Our own opinions and values are constantly twisted and conceptualized to fit into some social (media) agenda. Unwarranted we either become the prey or the predator.“
‘Chemistry’:
“’Chemistry’ is a bouncing track touching upon a subject I keep revisiting. Facing, fighting and unfortunately also embracing my demons has been part of my journey for a while now. Some days are better than others but it’s an inevitable part of life.“
‘Through My Head’ (feat. Resolve):
“‘Through My Head‘ is done with our good friend Anthony from Resolve who is doing an incredible job. The song is about that state of mind you enter once everything has been said and done. That bittersweet moment of regret. It’s a more classic rock song compared to our recent releases, and it feels good to go back to basics for a little while!”
‘On Fire’:
“We are psyched to start this new chapter of Siamese. Hopefully stronger and better than ever before. Picking up from the universe of HOME the new songs find us experiment a lot more with our sound. You can expect songs that sound like 2004, 2010 and hopefully 2030 too. This is what we always wanted as the core of the band to be, and ‘On Fire‘ is an excellent appetizer of just that.”
‘God Is A Woman’:
“’God Is A Woman’ is by far one of my personal favourite songs. To do an Ariana Grande song is just plain right showing off. People seem to like the covers, so why not give them more right?“
‘Utopia’:
“’Utopia’ is the poppunk anthem we did not know that we could write. Provide a little bit of hope and positivity in our emo world, Utopia is a standout anthem about heartbreak and delusion!“
‘Hurricane’:
“’Hurricane’ is a hiphop influenced song, circling around personal greed and losing yourself to life. It’s one of the catchyies songs we’ve ever done, and that should say a lot!“
‘This Is Not A Song’:
“’This Is Not A Song’ is stripping down any ideas or thoughts on what a song should be like and just do something for the fun of it. Im pretty sure we will be playing this song live forever!”
In 2016 on a seldom sunny April evening, the members of SIAMESE stood on a rooftop in Copenhagen.
After several failed releases not reaching far beyond local band prowess, this meeting was to decide whether the band should continue its existence.
That evening Siamese was to cease all activity and remain a hobby project.
After a tough nights sleep something else happened.
The next day guitarist Andreas Kruger, (today a multi platinum certified producer) composed the music for the song ‘Ablaze’ and the following day frontman Mirza Radonjica wrote the lyrics.
Fifteen days later the band released the song to the world with no label, no budget, no plan and the song landed twelve different New Music Friday playlists on Spotify across the globe and brought a much needed energy to the band’s journey.
Just two months later, Siamese unleashed their full length album ‘Shameless’, which swiftly amassed millions of streams.
With no hype, no playbook, and only the lingering fear of the end, Siamese forged ahead, refusing to succumb to external pressures.
From the depths of uncertainty, Siamese emerged stronger and with their 2021 album ‘HOME’, the band cemented their status as a rising force in the music scene.

Siamese brand new LP ‘HOME’ sees the band further develop their distinctive sound into a heavier realm.
It’s bolder and it’s more experimental, but most of all the riffs are more wicked, innovative and unique compared to their previous work.
Going from an R’n’b metal vibe to a very grand and gutteral sound the guys from Siamese make sure that each album tells a story about the time it was created.
Never looking back – always moving forward.
Made during the corona pandemic the album is the bands most personal to date with real life crisis revolving around their very own domicil.
Having already released fireproof bangers such as ‘Can’t Force The Love’ and ‘Home’ featuring Drew York, Siamese are set to take the next step into the international core scene with what must be considered as their best album to date.
Track by Track
—Heights Above—
The albumstarter and the first hint towards what Siamese aim for on this new 12 track LP.
Hardcore screaming blended with a massive sing along stadion chorus, and some of the most challenging instrumental work that Siamese have presented as a band.
-–Home—
THAT INTRO! was the imminent reaction from the youtube community!
Mixing hizzing synths with some upbeat rythms ‘Home’ is made out of that “special matter” that makes a song stand out from the rest.
I consider this chorus to be one of the best we have ever written in our career.
-–Holy—
You never know where this banger is going.
Is it a ballad, an uptempo punk song or a metalcore anthem?
Well it kinda does all of those things at once.
This is a showcase of how experience in songwriting can take a song alot of placing while stil staying coherent.
The lyrical concept is a very real one-sided relationsship situation.
-–Honest—
The first real ballad that Siamese have ever written.
Well kinda.
Song is a tribute to a close friend fighting to come back to the world after severe depression.
A story seen from the point of view from a friend.
How most of us see people with depression.
Like someone we need, love and just expect nothing but honesty from.
Break the stigma of mental health.
–-Can’t Force The Love—
Lyrically the song is dedicated to a person I had to let go last year.
Not to diss her, or to point fingers, but to explain what an impossible idiot I am, and why she’s better off without me to be honest.
–-Erase My Mind—
This is a song about the night and generally that feeling we felt about corona stealing the night from us.
Going out was dearly missed and this song is our naive and sentimental urge to go out in to the night at meet perfect strangers.
The we wanted the composition to bring back memories about the EMO scene and and ode to bands lige Saosin, Circa Survive and Sleeping With Sirens.
–-Enough Ain’t Enough—
This track is about our personal frustration concerning the lockdowns.
Andreas and I wanted to convey a positive message during a really frustrating period of both of our lives.
‘Enough Ain’t Enough’ is an outlet and a healthy way for us to remind each other, that none of this is forever.
We can’t wait to live fast and die old when the world returns.
–-Numb—
Numb is another product of sitting at home and watching the pandemic unfold.
A scary realization that nothing seemed to affect or scare me anymore.
Millions of people have died during covid, but my biggest concern was whether or not I could go to a restaurant.
Not to point fingers at anyone else but myself.
The bombardment of bad news truly left me numb.
We had to write it down cause I believe I am not alone in my guilty conciseness, and the inner war with myself about this.
–-Rather Be Lonely—
It’s really weird to release a song that makes you proud and really sad at the same time.
‘Rather Be Lonely’ is the song we spent the most time writing on.
It’s probably because it’s so brutally honest and being honest about defeat and deceit can be downright sickening to put on paper.
–-Past The End—
A banger about being way past a relationship.
It’s about reaching that point where all the 2nd. 3rd. 4th. chances have been missed.
Instrumentally we love this song for being in a different tempo than we normally do, and also the riffs are very new in the Siamese univers.
–-Joga—
We wanted to do something completely left, and Andreas just loves this song so much.
The main challenge here was to write a rock song but also stay in the same key as Björk.
So we did. Song is in original key, and I have to say that I love singing it.
–-Sloboda—
A personal song, with what has become our favourite composition.
The grandeur of this really makes us happy.
The lyrical concept is one I’ve had in the shelf for years.
It’s Mirzas personal experience with being a refugee in Denmark, growing up to be a succesful citizen, but still feeling institutionally unaccepted.
By the way – the chorus line was a conversation Mirza remembered having with his mom when he was a kid.
He asked why they would move from Yugoslavia to Denmark while his mother replied:
Freedom, my son. (Sloboda, moj sine).
All the lyrics evolve around values, ideas and real life situations happening within ourown four walls.
It’s a weird and very fragile open door to our thoughts and lives.
