│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I donÆt like to use the term ôfemale frontedö ║ │
│║ though I will, yet when I do I donÆt mean it in ║ │
│║ the derogatory way some troglodyte metalheads do ║ │
│║ in order to keep them ôin their place.ö I have ║ │
│║ been a longtime supporter of women in the world ║ │
│║ of hard rock and metal since I have been old ║ │
│║ enough to even know about women in the genre. ║ │
│║ Having said that, sometimes bands that happen to ║ │
│║ be fronted by females often run stagnant for me. ║ │
│║ Rarely do you get a band like A Sound of Thunder ║ │
│║ that is full-on metal without Nina relying on ║ │
│║ growls to make it ôheavierö or a band like ║ │
│║ MindMaze where Sarah has such a great voice that ║ │
│║ is lush and soulful without relying on her inner ║ │
│║ Janis Joplin or a band like Seven Kingdoms where ║ │
│║ you have a clearly accomplished singer in ║ │
│║ Sabrina who is capable of doing soaring arias ║ │
│║ but doesnÆt rely on that solely. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ DonÆt even get me started on the brilliant voice ║ │
│║ of Cammie in Oceans of Slumber who basically can ║ │
│║ do it all. There is another singer that fits ║ │
│║ perfectly in this list of powerhouse singers ║ │
│║ that also happen to be a woman: Amanda ║ │
│║ Somerville. She has shown through various ║ │
│║ outlets that she can hold court vocally within a ║ │
│║ multitude of subgenres, and stand toe to toe ║ │
│║ with any man who dares. Her latest project, ║ │
│║ Trillium, is clearly a more melodic metal ║ │
│║ vehicle for her stunning talent, and it works ║ │
│║ perfectly. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I somehow missed Alloy, the debut of Trillium, ║ │
│║ but the follow-up, Tectonic, allows her to avoid ║ │
│║ being caught in the typical operatic style or ║ │
│║ even being in a straight Power Metal sound. ║ │
│║ Instead, there is a very strong 80Æs Hard Rock ║ │
│║ vibe that runs throughout this album combining ║ │
│║ blistering licks and melodic vocals, but not ║ │
│║ fluffy like some bands of this type can be. Plus ║ │
│║ there is a good dose of Modern Hard Rock that ║ │
│║ prevents Tectonic from being a throwback album. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It actually puts me in mind of a heavier Space ║ │
│║ Elevator, if youÆre familiar with them, kind of ║ │
│║ poppy and heavy and wholly unique. SomervilleÆs ║ │
│║ Trillium easily fits this definition, with the ║ │
│║ instantly catchy ôStand Upö and ôHit Meö to ║ │
│║ darker stuff like ôNocturna,ö this album ║ │
│║ entranced me from the very first spin. Few ║ │
│║ albums have that ability these days. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ While she clearly has a voice equipped to handle ║ │
│║ the more operatic side of it (she more than ║ │
│║ proved that to me when I was lucky enough to see ║ │
│║ her filling in for Simone on tour with Epica,) ║ │
│║ but this album shows that she has a voice with ║ │
│║ chameleon-like capabilities to handle damn near ║ │
│║ any style that comes her way. Her stunning voice ║ │
│║ shines on TrilliumÆs Tectonic and is rife with ║ │
│║ melodic wonder and enough power to satisfy even ║ │
│║ the grumpiest of metal fans. ║ │
