SERENITY''s professional history has its beginning in 2004 in Tyrol/Austria when a stable lineup was found which consisted of Georg Neuhauser (lead vocals), Thomas Buchberger (lead & rhythm guitars), Simon Holzknecht (bass), Mario Hirzinger (keys, vocals) and Andreas Schipflinger (drums, vocals). This line up brought some subtle musical changes. Besides introducing a new lead voice the songs were now based on a more ''metal'' riffing, yet a high demand on melodies, orchestral parts and arrangements for several voices surely remained. ''New'' SERENITY''s crucial test took place on 2nd of August 2004 when they successfully supported Ronnie James DIO facing an unbelievable raging crowd. This first proof of the band''s good work was followed by other strong gigs which finally granted SERENITY the approving respect by the local metal scene.
