Morten Veland (born 4 December 1977) is a Norwegian musician. He was one of the founding members of the Norwegian gothic metal band Tristania and later founded Sirenia.
Whilst in Tristania, he was the main lyricist, songwriter and guitarist as well as being responsible for the growling vocals, until he left Tristania after the first two full length albums due to social and musical differences.
After that he formed his own band Sirenia, composing the same genre of music, in which he contributes nearly all of the instruments as well as the growling vocals. The rest of the band are mostly used on live performances only.
In 2009 Veland founded a new band called Mortemia, which will play a kind of music similar to that of Tristania's second album Beyond the Veil. The band signed a contract with Napalm Records on July 6, 2009
