Sound of the Sirens
We researched Sirens because it link in with the name of the band and we wanted to know the details of the Sirens and why the band chose that name.
An idea that we had is to use a picture of a Siren(s) for the album cover. It doesnt fit the genre but it links with the name and also carrys on our disjuncture them.
Also, the actual idea of Sirens having two sides to themselves makes us think that the song we are using has two sides to it.
In Greek mythology, Sirens were very dangerous but beautiful creatures, portrayed as femma fatales (mysterious and seductive woman) who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island.
When the Sirens were given the name of their own, they were considered the daughters of the river god Achelous. He was the patron deity of the "'silver-swirling' Achelous River, which is actually the largest river of Greece.
However, the Roman wrote linked the Sirens more closely to the sea, as daughters of Phorcys. This God was hidden in the dangerous depts of the sea.
The picture above shows the two different sides to the Sirens. The girl on the rock is the beautiful side to lure the sailors in and then her reflection shows her real side when it comes to killing the men on the boat.
