Look, I'm a guy, all right? ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ...but the music is not exactly my cup of tea. I ║ │ │║ have my doubts about it being metal at all. ║ │ │║ Still and all, Ms. Somerville is a undeniable ║ │ │║ talent. Her pitch is dead on, and her tone ║ │ │║ contains a natural sensuality that doesn't sound ║ │ │║ silly or forced. Her range is comfortably alto I ║ │ │║ think. She dips into tenor a bit on tracks like ║ │ │║ Coward and Purge, but also drifts into mezzo- ║ │ │║ soprano on Bow to the Ego for example. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Her voice also has a fullness and power that ║ │ │║ makes her a natural fit with maybe hard-edge ║ │ │║ rock, but she's not a metal singer. I don't mean ║ │ │║ because she doesn't ever growl (she doesn't), ║ │ │║ but because she lacks the... I don't know. ║ │ │║ Attitude? Nothing on Alloy really carries that ║ │ │║ hellyeah emotional punch I look for in good ║ │ │║ metal. Alloy contains good music. Nice music. ║ │ │║ It's easy to listen to and very radio friendly. ║ │ │║ Scream It is probably the heaviest track, and ║ │ │║ it's not all that heavy. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ All due props to Sander Gommans on guitar too. I ║ │ │║ think it's likely that he's better than this ║ │ │║ style allows him to be. Every track features a ║ │ │║ ripping solo, but like the vocals it stops short ║ │ │║ of being even light power metal. The mental ║ │ │║ picture I get of Trillium on stage has Sander ║ │ │║ standing back by the stack most of the time, ║ │ │║ skittering forward to hit us with a solo, then ║ │ │║ fading back again. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ All in all, I think this is a pretty good album ║ │ │║ to give someone who isn't all that into metal. ║ │ │║ Fans of strong female vocals will appreciate it. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Olaf Reitmeier Acoustic Guitars ║ │ │║ Michael "Miro" Rodenberg Arrangements, ║ │ │║ Keyboards ║ │ │║ Robert Hunecke Drums ║ │ │║ Sascha Paeth Guitars, Bass, Keyboards, Drums ║ │ │║ Sander Gommans Guitars ║ │ │║ Simon Oberender Keyboards ║ │ │║ Amanda Somerville Lead & Backing Vocals, ║ │ │║ Keyboards ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Machine Gun [05:45] │ │ 02 - Coward [04:20] │ │ 03 - Purge [04:38] │ │ 04 - Utter Descension [04:18] │ │ 05 - Bow To The Ego [04:54] │ │ 06 - Mistaken [04:41] │ │ 07 - Scream It [05:32] │ │ 08 - Justifiable Casualty [05:36] │ │ 09 - Path Of Least Resistance [04:53] │ │ 10 - Into The Dissonance [04:14] │ │ 11 - Slow It Down [04:31] │ │ 12 - Love Is A Illusion (Bonus Track) [03:27] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [56:49 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
