"Sirens" is Savatage's debut album, originally released in 1983. It is much heavier than later Savatage albums, being closer to thrash, power and speed metal than the bands more recent progressive style.

The track "Out on the Streets" was later re-recorded by the band on their 1986 album, "Fight for the Rock".
