TRILLIUM, the metal project launched by American-born, Dutch-based singer/songwriter Amanda Somerville, will release its sophomore album, “Tectonic”, on June 8 via Frontiers Music Srl.
The official video for the disc’s first single, “Time To Shine”, can be seen below.
Somerville is well known for her collaborations with various high-profile European metal bands like AVANTASIA, EPICA, KAMELOT and AFTER FOREVER, to name a few. And let’s not forget her musical partnership with HELLOWEEN vocalist Michael Kiske under the KISKE/SOMERVILLE banner. With a vocal range from tenor to soprano and a stylistically diverse singing ability, Somerville‘s voice is well suited for multiple styles, but TRILLIUM is firmly in the metal genre.
