Sander Gommans, Amanda Somerville New Album

Sander Gommans, Amanda Somerville To Produce New AMAZON Album




Brazilian symphonic metal band AMAZON - featuring Sabrina Todt (vocal
and flute), Renato Angelo (guitar and keyboards), Newton Olivieri (bass)
and Marcos Frazão (drums) - are working on their third album which will
be produced by Sander Gommans (TRILLIUM, HDK, SOMERVILLE/KISKE,
ex-AFTER FOREVER) and Amanda Somerville (AVANTASIA, AINA, After Forever,
EPICA, KAMELOT).





Gommans will be the producer for all the guitar parts and Somerville
will be the responsible for the production of all vocal lines, besides
acting as Sabrina Todt's coach, including some arrangements and lyrics.


Part of the recordings are already in progress in Campinas, Brazil,
but in March the band will meet with Sander Gommans and Amanda
Somerville at the The Rock Station studios in Holland to continue the
work.


"It's been fantastic working with Sander and Amanda", says Amazon's
guitarist, Renato Angelo. "We had the opportunity to make a detailed
pre-production to make this a key album in our career. Sander is a
musician of the highest level and he added an unprecedented quality to
the new album. We aligned some ideas and he focused the production just
like the way we wanted: a heavy album, with lots of guitars, those that
sends the adrenaline up there. And so Amanda came with the voices
production, bringing to the music the feeling and technique that we
already know from her several works, resulting on an explosive
combination."


The new Amazon album will feature ten tracks and is expected to hit stores in the second half of 2013.
