TRILLIUM (Amanda Somerville ) – ALLOY (2011)


Trillium (trillium, wakerobin, tri flower, birthroot) is a genus of about 40–50 species of spring ephemeral perennials, native to temperate regions of North America and Asia. It used to be treated in the family Trilliaceae or Trillium family, a part of the Liliales or Lily order. The AGP II treats Trilliaceae as a synonym of the family Melanthiaceae. The above ground parts of Trilliums are scapes with three large, leaf-like bracts with the true leaves reduced to underground papery coverings around the rhizomes. That is one definition of Trillium, another is the compound or Alloy rather that is called Trillium-D which is known from Star Trek. That sounds a bit fitting and a rather fun coincident considering the name of the band and album title. Thing is though that the name is rather derived from the first thing, the flower and the title Alloy comes from in being a conjoining of metal and some other compound which makes it a fitting title according to vocalist Amanda Somerville. It is of course Somerville’s first metal solo project we talk about here and to her help she has enlisted the team from Gate Studios which is Sacha Paeth and Miro. Then she also works with Sander Gommans, Olaf Reitmeier and so on, for her help in songwriting she had Mat Sinner and renowned singer Jörn Lande guests as vocalist on a track. As you see, there is quite a bit of talent and known names within the metal community involved in this project, that in itself is of course no guarantee of success but usually things where Sacha is involved tend to be good.
