Frontiers Records is excited to present a new and interesting musical project called TRILLIUM which features the talents of the American singer and songwriter Amanda Somerville.

Mostly known for her catalogue of projects, studio work, guest appearances and live shows garnered to date with bands like AVANTASIA, KAMELOT and EPICA, her most recent endeavors include touring with renowned artist Ian Gillan (DEEP PURPLE) and a duet album entitled Kiske-Somerville with metal legend Michael Kiske (HELLOWEEN).

TRILLIUM is however something new, exciting and very diverse for Amanda, who describes it “more like an expedition with my musical family to explore and celebrate the metamorphosis I've gone through as an artist over the past several years. Quite simply, it's my new baby”.

The TRILLIUM name came about since it “symbolizes a trinity because things are always showing up in 3s in my environment and there are a number of triads occurring in this project, as well” tells Amanda. “The name of the album, "Alloy," is symbolic and metaphorical. An alloy is a substance composed of two or more metals, or of a metal or metals combined with a nonmetal, intimately mixed. It also means standard; quality; fineness and is an admixture, as of good with evil. I'm a Pisces, so I'm all about duality and combining known elements - sometimes opposing each other - to create something different. Though I've been working myself further and further into the metal scene, I still always feel the need to add an extra element to make it shine, bling, stand out”.

Musically TRILLIUM is going to be a hybrid of rock and metal: it's riffy, has a heavy hand instrumentally and is quite different from anything Amanda has worked on so far. The creative team on the album includes the acclaimed Sascha Paeth & Miro (KAMELOT, AVANTASIA, EPICA, AFTER FOREVER, ANGRA etc.) on production, songwriting and performances with the participation of Sander Gommans (ex After Forever) and also features Jorn Lande on a very special duet with Amanda.

Amanda's sound is eclectic yet particular, sweet yet raw and commercial yet conventionally-challenged. Singer-songwriter metal with bling. Think Annie Lennox, Doro, Rob Zombie and Sade thrown into a blender and whipped into a frothy concoction. Watch out for those razor blades. Prosit!

lyrics

Scream It
Music - Gommans, Somerville / Lyrics - Somerville
Crucial is the tie that binds ~ But I refuse to be defined by the power you're believing is a rarity ~ A blessing thrown into reverse ~ Never meant to be and turning worse ~ Blocking any chance of finding clarity ~ Hold onto me ~ I'll be your landing strip ~ Let your anger out ~ You'd never hurt me ~ Chorus: If you're curious, I owe you ~ Dig deeper into me ~ Your fate is to be mastered ~ And I'll make you feel it ~ If you want to know, I'll show you ~ Come closer and you'll see ~ That my name is your disaster ~ And I'll make you scream it: ~ Fusion of the heart and mind ~ I tried and failed; I'm not that kind ~ You'd better up and leave 'cause I'm a hurricane ~ A vandal, damage is my game ~ I bend the rules, I'll never change ~ You're better off, believe me ~ I would be your bane ~ Cold as can be ~ The way you crack your whip ~ I can take it all ~ And still your aching ~ :Chorus: ~ Low we might sink ~ So tighten up your grip ~ I see you there ~ You won't desert me ~ And though you might think you'll never find your way ~ I won't give up till you're converted ~ Kneel before me ~ Tempt me, bore me ~ Dare to lose your head ~ You're wrong! ~ Don't believe me ~ Stand naive and bare ~ You won't be there for long! ~ If you're furious, I know you ~ You'll never let it be ~ Your name is my catastrophe ~ And now I see it ~ :Chorus

Considered a Metal Diva in the European symphonic metal scene (though work with Avantasia, Epica, Kamelot, etc.), Amanda Somerville is a singer-songwriter originally of the pop / rock vein who's been roughed up at the edges with a razor blade, painted over the scars with makeup and is now sweetly taking her revenge on the microphone. ... more
