City of Heroes is the second studio album by the melodic rock / heavy metal duet project Kiske/Somerville. The album features the collaboration between vocalist Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween, Unisonic, Place Vendome) and American singer Amanda Somerville (Aina, HDK, Trillium). It was released on 17 April 2015 in Europe and on 21 April 2015 in North America.[1]
The album features Mat Sinner (Primal Fear, Sinner) and Magnus Karlsson (Primal Fear) handling most of the songwriting, with one contribution from Sander Gommans (ex-After Forever) and Amanda Somerville. Veronika Lukesova is in charge of the drumming and Sinner together with Jacob Hansen handle the production.
Two music videos were filmed for the songs "City Of Heroes" and "Walk On Water" in Nurnberg, Germany. Joining Kiske and Somerville for the shoot were bassist and composer Mat Sinner, guitarist, keyboardist and composer Magnus Karlsson and drummer Veronika Lukesova. The clips were directed by Martin Mueller.[2]
