The Big Deal - "Amaranth" (Nightwish Cover) - Official Video

[@frontiersmusicsrl]

If you like this, then check out The Big Deal's debut album, "First Bite"! Stream or purchase a physical copy HERE: orcd.co/firstbite The Big Deal, featuring two outstanding vocalists, Ana Nikolic and Nevena Brankovic (who is also a highly skilled keyboard/piano player), offers up a catchy, driving sound that will appeal to both melodic rock and hard rock fans. The Big Deal first came together when guitarist, composer, and producer Srdjan and keyboardist Nevena, who is an academic pianist and singer, started working with singer Ana Nikolic. Ana had spent the past few years fronting local bands, but after meeting Srdjan and Nevena, they started collaborating in the studio together on some songs. While working on some new ideas, Srdjan thought it would be interesting to include Ana's vocals in addition to Nevena's in the recordings they were working on. After a couple of songs were finished, they were overjoyed with the results and thus some of The Big Deal's first demos were born. These would eventually morph into the music that was presented to Frontiers and ultimately got them signed. To round out the lineup, the band brought in drummer Marko Milojevic and later, Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline, Revolution Saints) on bass (who was instrumental in introducing the band to the label). Both Srdjan and Marko are members of the most successful Serbian progressive metal band, Alogia. Throughout his career, Srdjan has played on many festivals and tours, recorded and collaborated on countless studio and live albums, and opened for some well-known bands such as Whitesnake, Ian Paice, Apocalyptica, Savatage, and more. He was also a member of Michael Matijevic's live band in Bulgaria. On his “Expedition Delta” and “Alogia” albums, he collaborated with names such as Tim 'Ripper' Owens, Mark Boals, Erik Norlander, Gary Wehrkamp, Fabio Lione, and Hansi Kursch, among others. LINE-UP: Nevena Brankovic - vocals and keyboards Ana Nikolic - vocals Srdjan Brankovic - guitars Marko Milojevic - drums Alessandro Del Vecchio - bass Produced by: Srdjan Brankovic Social Media: facebook.com/TheBandBigDeal instagram.com/bandbigdeal

Fantastic cover, great vocal harmonies!

[@keithrudner8820]

the big deal rocks

[@oldwolf590]

Great job on this song.

[@andysoth7627]

As a Nightwish fan I can say that this is the best Nightwish cover I have seen! Perfect.

[@anjaevers848]

Yes, Andy, perfect! 👍 🤘

[@TaverenTech]

Yeah, and perhaps even better than Annette. Having both ladies sing on this sounded fantastic as well, great job!~

[@roberth4395]

​@@TaverenTechAnette's performance was perfect. Not even Tarja or Floor could top her on this song. This is her song. Great performance though, but the singers are blending in too much with the guitars and drums. It almost feels like that the 1st singer is standing behind the Band. This needs a remaster where the singers are brought forward and are the dominant sound.

[@Gary176]

WOW!!! Can't wait to hear THE BIG DEAL'S version.

[@ericvallandingham5113]

GREAT COVER

[@tombouchard9606]

Im very thankful for this band

[@martinspilovsky9071]

Wohooo :D excellent cover

[@zziomek92]

Honestly? This was the song that escalated my love with Nightwish, and this is the cover which i love so much, that big deal is truly big in my heart.

[@llcruize]

Love the double lead vocals. Very good version of one of my favorite NW songs

[@marcelo.bassalo]

HUGE SOUND! Great Mix ! This NW era had many bangers.

[@steveblades6850]

Wow! What an amazing brunette-blondie experience! So far I've been wondering who I love more - Tarja, Anette, or Floor? Now the dilemma has spread to 5 names including the girls from Big Deal!

[@RandyVampiro]

MegaTalent Ladies & Gents!

[@jimmyvincent4488]

This is the best Nightwish cover I have seen. The trend of women's rock bands is noticeable, but the fact is that this is really different and that it stands out from that trend as well. Two great singers, and one of them a keyboard virtuoso - I haven't seen that yet. I've been back to Europe cover a million times so far. And it was very interesting for all my friends to watch it. And not because there are women, but because all the members of the band are great. The guitarist played Europe very well. Next time we want a song with solo sections on guitar and keyboard. Congratulations.

[@megantaylor4288]

Double lead vocals are just so beautiful! It seems to me that Frontiers is increasingly making room for women. Besides Edge of Paradise and Chez Kane, The Big Deal is a complete hit. At least when it comes to music skills. I can't wait for the original songs!

[@frontiersmusicsrl]

Thanks for listening! We've always appreciated and always will appreciate working with talented women in the rock and metal genres. Don't forget Issa, Anette Olzon, Adrienne Cowan from Seven Spires, Netta Laurenne from Smackbound & Laurenne/Louhimo, Noora Louhimo from Laurenne/Louhimo, Caterina Nix from Chaos Magic, Tezzi Persson from Infinite & Divine, Lana Lane, Amanda Somerville, Rossella Moscatello from False Memories, Nya Cruz from Kandia, and Marina La Torraca from Phantom Elite, just to name a few more. There will always be a home for amazing talents like this on our roster.

[@grahamturner1290]

Another excellent tune from a fine band.

[@raauuuull]

Coool

[@johnniz13]

This sounds awesome. love the vibrato at the end of the vocal lines as opposed to many other covers, vibrato the entire time.

[@annikamalino8525]

What a great version of metal ABBA!!! As a long time Nightwish fan, I can tell you that this is beautiful!

[@valerieblackthorn13]

What insult for Abba. Those women are not near to be at the level that Abba's female singers does.

[@ivanastevic6054]

I LOVE Nightwish for years! I am so proud that someone represents us in such a beautiful way. I think this is the best Nightwish cover I have ever seen and I am proud that it comes from our country!

[@chrispuglisi8171]

I love this band so much they dont get enough credit there amazing❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘

[@tamaradinic9714]

This is fantastic! I’m a big fan of this song, I’m a big Annete and Nightwish fan and I’m one hundred percent sure I’ll be a BIG ,,BIG DEAL" fan too! In fact, I’m already a fan! I'm waiting for the album! I'm really proud to watch this. Besides Dino Jelusic, you are the pride of this area. G R E A T!

[@clovisbandeira6544]

My favourite song and it sounds even better than the original. fantastic singing

[@Gary176]

I love this cover very much, The band are versatile, remember these covers are a bit of fun, a teaser of what they band can do, these skilled musicians will be untamed on their own songs, when the debut album is released in 2022, I can't wait.

[@JimmyJam184]

Surprisingly good. I'll have an eye on it.

[@Theodax1]

Wonderful cover by a promising new band with a VERY bright future ahead of them. Both the female singers have very strong voices and harmonize almost seamlessly with each other. The rest of the band sound tight, and precise. Their debut should be definitely one to watch out for.

[@dekistankovic7138]

We are still waiting for the album. This is, in my opinion, as good as the original. Out of respect for Nightwish I won’t say it’s better. :) And it’s great to see Alessandro Del Vecchio jamming in the Paradox studio! Top!

[@Karlimoor]

This sounds great! Nightwish is one of my favourite bands and I have pretty high standards when it comes to covering their songs, but in this case they were more than met. Can't wait to hear more from The Big Deal, especially their own stuff.

[@themysticeuphoriaproject]

Outstanding !

[@brunahonesco3199]

I love this

[@frontiersmusicsrl]

"While we are waiting to present our music and debut album, we decided to have some fun in the studio and share it with you. The covers we've recorded in the studio are a sampling of our musical tastes and just us having some fun. Thanks to Anette Olzon and Nightwish for the inspiration." - The Big Deal | Recorded in studio "Paradox", July 2021.

[@Blaine748]

It’s so fantastic to hear these brilliant harmonies duetted by separate women- who also compliment each other soooo well 😭🔥😍

[@jefftyler3426]

I love this. I also don’t remember seeing a better nightwish cover. But it doesn't matter,the competition in which one will play a song that has already been recorded is meaningless. You are a great team! take advantage of that and give us your good music. Rock'n'roll needs you...

[@mimocuri4851]

Sjajno, bravo..... Ocekujemo album. Pozdrav sa juga Srbije 😍💔🤘 Vrh puno uspeha u karijerii...... Ekipa sjajna. Srdjan na vrhuncu svog zadatka . Alessandro Del Vecchio na prvu hladan kao spricer ali prepoznaje se ta energija u njemu koja gori i buhti. Vrh majstori....

[@РусланОлегович-ъ5з]

Замечательно исполнили девчонки!!!

[@tinstumble279]

@Edward guy I do not agree. I’ve looked at all three covers in the past few days and I think the opposite. I even like Nightwish vocally the most, and Nevena is dominant here. But both girls are good, I think your comment is pointless.

[@boyanm]

Stunning performance! 👌👌🤘🤘

[@RazyrDiarmait]

Man, haven't listened to the original in a long time, or Nightwish for that matter. Great job on both the song and reminding me about them.

I usually hate Nightwish covers. Very few do them justice. This one is brilliant!

Beautiful Voices..I like this a lot..Looking forward to the coming Album :)

[@harryescarole9969]

Tuomas Holopainen seems to have started playing guitar? Sounds huge! The band is made of fantastic musicians and I'm really interested in the album of this band, when we talk about new names.
