Background
Before being selected by Nightwish as their lead singer in 2007, Anette Olzon fronted Alyson Avenue a Swedish melodic rock band, subsequently releasing two substantial studio albums. Omega is the second one, originally released in 2004.
Those experienced in the side projects of `Nightwish' members, probably noted Anette's guest appearance on "Brother Firetribe's" second album (AOR band featuring `Nightwish' guitarist and `Leverage' vocalist). The sound of "Alyson Avenue" is fairly similar to that of "...Firetribe" with a significant differentiation in the fact that "...Avenue" is very much guitar oriented melodic hard rock and not as key-driven. In fact the guitar parts are surprisingly thick, incorporating rhythm patterns and solos which remind one of late 80s `Whitesnake' (on their AOR moments).
