Serenity are a melodic metal band from Austria with progressive metal and power metal influences. They took their name from an early 90's rock band from South Shields, England called Serenity. The group formed in January 2001, receiving "fine reviews" for their first demo. In 2003/4, three of the original members left the band. The replacement members were contacted throughout February to March 2004. The band's next demo, "Engraved Within", was released in the spring of 2005 and was met with positive reviews from such reputable magazines as Germany's Metal Hammer. Their first full album, "Words Untold and Dreams Unlived", was released in Europe on 27 April 2007 and 8 May in the USA and Canada through Napalm Records. The band toured Europe in support of "Words Untold and Dreams Unlived" with Threshold and later Kamelot. The band are currently recording a new album, entitled "Fallen Sanctuary". The album is to be released May 2008.
