Frontiers Records recently announced the release of Alloy, the highly anticipated debut album from TRILLIUM - the new metal project masterminded by American singer/songwriter AMANDA SOMERVILLE - on November 4th in Europe and November 1st in North America. Somerville unveils the CD is the clip below:

Musically, Trillium melts rock and metal in a new, interesting and different way from anything Amanda has worked on so far. Alloy is also graced with the talents of several musicians with whom Amanda had the honor of working in the past. Sander Gommans (ex-AFTER FOREVER, HDK) and Sascha Paeth (KAMELOT, AVANTASIA, EPICA, After Forever, etc.) were the main songwriters together with the American singer on this album. They have brought a lot to the project and have certainly allowed the sound to be a lot richer and stronger.

“Sander is all around an awesome songwriter and guitar player, and he's especially good at coming up with riffs and movements of a song, while Sascha is a fantastic producer who can play any instrument there is - and play the hell out of it - and his sense of songwriting is really strong!”, says Amanda.

Other contributing musicians include Miro Rodenberg who did all of the orchestral and keyboard arrangements, Robert Hunecke on drums, Olaf Reitmeier on acoustic guitar, Simon Oberender on keyboards (and mastering).

But more surprises are on this record: “Working with Mat Sinner on KISKE-SOMERVILLE established a solid professional relationship and I also found a good friend in him”, says Amanda. “We co-wrote 'Love Is An Illusion' together for this album and it was a pleasure working with him once again!”

And last, but in no way least, JORN LANDE has lent his epic voice to the song 'Scream It'. Ms. Somerville tells the story: “I actually wrote that song with Jorn in mind not for his status in the scene, but because I absolutely love his voice, he's a wonderful friend of mine through working together on Avantasia and he was the perfect "actor" to play the character in the song. And he nailed it!”

With touring plans in Europe in the first quarter of 2012 and a rousing excitement surrounding Trillium, you can bet the world is finally ready to enjoy the talents of one of the most interesting, creative and gifted singers and songwriters of today’s entire rock scene.

Somerville recently issued Part 1 of a behind-the-scenes video diary documenting the making of Alloy. Check it out below:
