The line-up consists of four members: Jarno Kangas (vocals, guitar), Antti Honka (drums, background vocals), Joni Tanskala (guitar, background vocals) and Marko Kangas (bass, background vocals).

Murena´s main idea is still that every member brings own spice to final musical totality and to make music that nobody has tasted or made before. When talking about the band´s music, there are some signs about progressivish acts, thrashy elements and even nu metal style creativity. They are playing what they want to, and alternative scale don't limit their needs about making own music.

Discography contains the debut album Metonin jakso which was released in the autumn 2007. Upcoming album, named as Katoamispiste, will be released 29.4.2009. Murena signed into the label of Spinefarm Records in 2006.
