July 23, 2009, 15 years ago
Two new songs from the HDK debut System Overload - featuring ex-AFTER FORVER guitarist Sander Gommans and vocalist Amanda Somerville, who is known for her work with EPICA, AVANTASIA and KAMELOT - are available for streaming on MySpace. Go to this location to check out 'March' and 'Breakdown'.
As previously reported, in a recent interview with BW&BK;, Gommans commented on working with Somerville. The excerpt is available below.
“I knew how I wanted the instrumental stuff to sound, so I didn’t have to think of playing in a different style compared to After Forever because it was just natural. But, I really needed someone that could write lyrics, and secondly, could also do some vocals. Someone to represent the female vocals, but they also had to have balls, and that’s Amanda. She’s got an aggressive side and that’s a cool thing. The vocal lines she came up with, they fit flawlessly into what I was doing musically, and she’s not really all that experienced in metal in that respect yet. Bands like After Forever and Epica, sure, but not the real heavy stuff like HDK, which makes this a really cool thing. It’s clear to see that everybody has a metal side (laughs).”Go to this location for the complete story.
A video clip of Somerville talking about her role in HDK is available below.
