Beautiful voice, beautiful track. Lyrics: The basic concept of truth seems to evade you But I am here to set it right I will not squander my faith On fading, failing illusions Longing will not rule my fate Derailing, ailing... Conjure storms, I'll take my chances For I know that justice will come dance upon your grave You coward Parading secrets you steal Instilling, willing confusion Playing the part as you feel Fulfilling, killing... Cast your stones, I'll take my chances For I know that Justice comes to dance upon the graves of cowards Red skies and diamond blades Dead nights and minds ablaze Tenacious racing toward a checkmate And you know I'm right No gracious winner in that game And the noose is tight Fed lies, a common rage It's martial law to advocate No partial call could bear the weight Though foresworn, you take your chances You should know that soon there will be no one left to save you Show your scorn, I'll take my chances For I know that justice will come spit into your brain You coward...

[@OurJillianHour]

this is epic, she should be known more as a lead singer of a band, not just a vocal coach. her voice is amazing and the music is as good as any other typical bands in this genre

[@JohnThornburgh]

I've always enjoyed Amanda's contribution to Epica, so glad to see her with her own band. She sounds great and looks really beautiful here.

[@Deke1]

Amanda has an amazing voice..

[@HelenaRLara]

Amanda Somerville has been Simone's vocal coach, among many other projects as composer, producer, vocalist, director, even book writer. She has been in projetcts/bands as Avantasia (now touring), Kamelot, After Forever, Edguy, Aina, HDK, Michael Kiske, Docker's Guild, Mob Rules, Virgo, Shaman, Luca Turilli, Serenity, Sebastien, MaYan, PelleK, DesDemon and of course, Trillium, her own band, plus 4 solist albums. Sorry if I forgot to mention other musical project (AH! Amadeus Awad's EON)

[@PeteHawthorne]

Amanda is one of the most beautiful women ever

[@GatoSalvaje]

Is an angel

[@MiguelTomasOficial]

I think it shows how she has been a vocal coach to Simone Simons. Even the way they pronounce the words, the technique, is very similar. Her voice sounds like a more mature version of Simone's voice. I remember when she sang with Epica, I had a hard time missing Simone vocally.

[@xxNatje]

That's what you have with symphonic metal.. That's why it is put under a genre

[@MsPili1]

She is awesome :D !!! i love her song "searching" ;)

[@XxBibcsixX]

I love this song,the video,Amanda's voice,her dresses,i actually love everything!

[@eolez6487]

discovered Trillium yesterday as first part of the concert of Anneke van giersbergen in Paris...amazing voice and charism on stage, electrizing, good tunes, perfect performance : conquished, a very good surprise...they deserve a far better aknowledgement :-)

[@kacperskarzynski3874]

Now i fully undarstand Arjen's choice. For last half of the year i was unable to find a song that'll give me gooseflesh, but here it is :)

[@FreezingEmbrace]

she was her lyric coach and that was only on two albums (Invisible Circles and Remagine) she is Simone's vocal coach

[@Evilkwiet]

I saw her live, and she game her signature. I'm so happy

[@iamozzman8301]

Amanda is a legend! In everyway..

[@MrSardoc1]

... and now she finally has her own band too. It was *about time*. She can sing damn well, and yet she only gets like 3% recognition she deserves. Hope it changes.

[@ILilith999]

Awesome song! Both vocals and melody are well performed!

[@johnp8815]

she is the siren of my dreams!

[@Sharonliv1]

WOW! The video it's really awesome and the song ROCKS. Amanda have one of the most majestic voices in the Musical Universe \m/

[@wellsoul2]

She's a very good singer.

[@TommyFenyx]

Nueva diva redescubierta, me encanta su voz 😍

[@FutileGrief]

Looovelovelove, I love how she can manage to pull off this project without being a cliché female fronted metal dissapointment. Amazing voice girl!!! Great music

[@krok972]

alloy is great thanks from italy

[@PriestofGethsemane]

I'm really excited about this band. Amanda is a trmendous talent, voice AND writing. She's so technically proficient, while keeping the soul of her solo music (which tends to get lost when singers know a lot of technique)...I've been wanting to hear her do something more Metal focused. And her band is a group of badasses as well. This is awesome.

[@Saje3D]

I don't think anyone recognizes how different her vocal compositions are from most of the other symphonic bands. The closest, in my estimation, is probably Krypteria, and even that is a tenuous comparison. She uses the full capacity of her voice, and brings into the mix a certain--I have to say--R&B or soul element. When they laid this album down she instantly became one of my favorite vocalists--joining the ranks of those who've already been mentioned here, as well as those who haven't.

[@VeroniqueLindemann]

Amazing sound, amazing song, amazing voice. Amazing Amanda!!

[@begumcitir]

I love the album Alloy! It's so beautiful and powerful, has amazing lyrics - just perfect.

[@berttrenning7326]

nice and beautifull song

[@Beulzabob]

Checking her out because I found out she was Simone Simons vocal coach. I want more!

[@dwightrenfield4719]

In my dreams I have Amanda as singer in my band... after I wake up and all vanishes...!!

[@Davy.J.Y]

ive seen these live ,,excellent performance and an awesome voice !!

[@LizethBaal]

waaaa i love it she's amazing her voice ohh i realy realy like it =D

[@imelia31]

yeah... Amanda, thank you for your music and your voice :-)

[@bobsikoo]

Love the way she goes 'YOU COWARD!'

[@gothic_girl.]

I met Amanda in Manchester when they were supporting Delain. Most nerve wracking moment of my life!

[@spongyjim]

me too dude! i saw her in manchester, she was so cool and down to earth.

[@drevilrodrigues]

When i opened the vidoe I wasn't to confident in anything good.... but then it turned out being not good but excellent... Hear a woman voice without having lots of comparisons in mind... an that's cause there is something singular on this band.... well done

[@Traigame2cervezas]

Wow....her voice is a cute combination of Tarja and Simone Simons (old style) And I like the music, kinda dramatic....very good....I like alot :)

[@rp005001]

Not only Epica. She has also worked with After Forever, Avantasia and Kamelot. It's nice to finally see her as a main vocalist :)

[@PeteHawthorne]

Damn I love this song, I'd give anything to play guitar for Amanda!

[@susyhelen1]

Diva *___*

[@FireflyFanatic3]

Oh my life, I had no idea she'd got a new album out!!! ..... Best discovery EVER! :D

[@КириллВадимович2]

Спасибо.

[@NemoArtemis]

She's extremely talented, not to say she's so beautiful and expressive... And she's funny too!! =)

[@Samexciter]

I've downloaded the album and amanda is amazing...just like Kiske&Somerville

[@lizaleja]

Lov it :)

[@Escuaniel]

This video is amazing!!! Thank you Amanda!!!

[@awesomemac76]

Amazing! Can't wait for the album.

[@theprophecy11]

Good song. :)

[@deadfamous122]

She's epiiiiiiiic! love it

[@theospaans]

Brilliant

[@panos270772]

This song have an ideal form patern for a new black metal cover!

[@Metal_Icarus1105]

i love Amanda, i wish she was in more solid bands, too much guesting and backing

[@sonofgod61]

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, AND ULTRA MAGNIFICENTLY STUNNING

[@goth_ana]

You're amazing Amanda!

[@piltokify]

the good thing she had her own group............not to be biased with epica........love her voice

[@bonfiralover]

Wow... just wow!

[@brianbostwick3003]

I’ve known her and her family for a long long time

[@Chifiowns]

Wow I have always loved Amanda's voice. Great song, can't wait for the record. Don't really get the video but that doesn't matter! Amazing debut in Metal !

[@HelenaRLara]

Andre Matos, The BoyScouts, Asrai... etc., etc... Long list! She's more than "the blond girl in Epica's videos..."

[@nnnnigey]

Saw Amanda with Trillium supporting Magnum in S'ton, i'd never heard of them,it's not really my type of rock,but they were pretty good;hence why i'm looking at this.All good players & she's got pretty good stage presence!

[@ThomasEmperorStudios]

Damn, she can sing, at first I heard an resemblance with Floor Jansen, but she is very good. Well, anything that resembles Floor Jansen has to be very good. Nice band!

[@Cannelomer]

Great Album!!

[@BobbyNerd]

INCREIBLEEEEEEEEEEE AMANDA SOS LA MEJOR

[@vkozloff]

Excellent! ♥♥♥

[@thrasher66613]

Not only is Amanda hot but she also has an amazing voice.

[@rodolfotheviking]

magic Amanda !!!

[@Evilbitch666]

I'm in love xD

[@HeavyMetalThunder6]

wow, amazing video. I love Amanda!

[@estebanarielromero3207]

excelente, muy bueno proyecto

[@ZPTheart32]

Ama(nda)zing!

[@crossfireme]

Yep.Just checked it.That´s her.

[@MusicVany1]

She's the best female singer :) I love her ... She is a very big Idol :)

[@johnp8815]

im not a coward, but i dont know what scares me more, her angelic looks or her angelic voice? either way i would love to live in her realm!

[@HigherHighSymphony]

Amanda Somerville is always amazing :D

[@davidscottlane7771]

Fantastic

[@AlanVelph]

Exelente cancion !!!

[@maxmolodtsov]

Awesome!

[@CRITTERBUSTERS]

Great Voice and Great Song, I think amanda should do the title theme of the Next James Bond theme, she has the right vibe to her voice.

[@user-hd3tw1zk4d]

Супер!

[@Earthbound1993]

Simone never took singing lessons from Amanda. Amanda is only helping her writing the vocal lines in some Epica songs. good song btw!

[@marborreda8793]

Me gustaría cantarle a alguien esta canción...

[@kingofdammit]

And Avantasia:D

[@JuliaDark]

Когда услышала песню, подумала, что After Forever... Очень похож вокал... Да и музыка... Типаж Флор.

[@asgarlindemann4195]

Good job Amanda! :D

[@ffm331]

buen tema!!

[@user-rq9dz4qj2k]

!!!!!!!

[@AriaIsara]

Wait a minute... Isn't she one of the vocalists in Epica's Cry For The Moon video (as well as other studio videos for the other songs of the same album)?? Her wiki says she worked with Epica and she definitely looks like the blond vocalist of the videos.

[@niyiretcardozo2483]

linda amanda

[@malaxovs]

Божественно!.. :-)

[@twilightdagger]

I just got it... :-)

[@falconclarinet]

AMANDA SOMERVILLE IS AMAZING

[@anydyingbride]

Gosto ^^

[@maffy715]

The point they're trying to get across at s that this style of singing has been heard, e.g. Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Epica, etc.

[@iqorsemenov7603]

хорошее видио. голос отличный.

[@Drax113]

Sascha Paeth fucking rules! I remember him from his playing in the band Heavens Gate. Check it out. really a great band ^.^

[@PauloHowlett]

@amaranth666br yes.

[@animecutie227]

where was this video made

[@AwsmNix]

I think Epica and all the big bands(With Temptation, Delain, Leaves' Eyes, Nightwish, and Revamp/After Forever) have some new competition. These guys are O-mazing!

[@In-Ear-Studio]

isn't she the main composer of the AINA lyrics ? ;)
