She was an angel and she still is. She had one of the most beautiful voices i’ve ever heard. The album “Hour of the Nightingale” by Trees of Eternity is fantastic. My favorite songs are “Condemned to silence” and Sinking ships”. Her solo phostumous album “Aleah” was released 4 years after her death. It’s an outstanding album. 1 part is accoustic and the other part has more instrumentation but super soft and relaxing. The music, her voice, the cover and the booklet with many photos of her, makes this album a true homage to this great singer and beautiful woman. Also, her husband, Juha Raivio (guitar player and composer in Trees of Eternity and Swallow the Sun did another tribute to Aleah. He wanted to keep safe her poems and writings and created a new tribute band for Aleah, called Hallatar. With members of Hym, Amorphis and Trees of Eternity) The lyrics are made out of her poems and writings. The singer is Tomi Joutsen (Amorphis) but it featured Heike Langhans in the song “My mistake” (you know her, she was former Draconian singer) th-cam.com/video/d-661IWr5QQ/w-d-xo.html Their voices are so similar and both Aleah and Heike are from South Africa. “Severed Eyes” is also a great song but accoustic: th-cam.com/video/qQoGmsy8yb0/w-d-xo.html It’s a sad story but nice at the same time.
Aleah died during postproduction of this album, so that’s a model in the video. You see Aleah in the image in the clouds at the start and in the portrait the model uncovers. She is wearing Aleah’s trademark necklace though (you’ll see that a lot if you react to more Trees, Aleah or Hallatar videos).
They could have been really big internationally had Aleah not died of cancer. Her husband Juha Raivio was heartbroken, and maybe still is, given the music he now makes with his current band "Swallow the Sun". I guess you remember having reacted to their song "Cathedral Walls".
This is the first time I ever heard of the band on the premiere on here. Liked it very much. So I found out so far that Aleah died of cancer in 2016. Their first album came out three years before. Seems they published a second album in 2016. Such a shame, they sound great and it's the kind of music I heard much when I was younger and still hear a lot up to now, very gothic like.
Starting with a blooper huh... like it! Hope to see more!! 😂 This is absolutely beautiful music; nice request and awesome reaction! Aleah passed before the album finished last stages of production. But her husband Juha, along with Svart Records and everyone involved, did finish producing it. It's too bad she didn't manage to taste the fruit of her work. Music lives on as a testament though and this is something that transcends time. I recommend to anyone to pick up this incredible album!
The attached video tribute to Aleah shows not only how beautifully she sang but how stunningly beautiful she was. th-cam.com/video/3DkgMGgjyuI/w-d-xo.html

Please keep reacting do Trees of Eternity! Amazing magical songs!
Probably the most emotionally draining album I've heard. Yes, magical.

And Aleah is the girl in that video holding the urn.
Oh, Aleah
Trees of eternity ❤❤
I think I heard this song 15 times in a row on the way home it's so good

Hour of the Nightingale (2016) is their first album. Are you referring to earlier “Black Ocean” demo?
@@EmAllWasTaken yes, it was a demo I see now. You are correct.
Love this song ❤
I named my dog after Aleah and my friend (with Juha's blessing) dedicated her album to Aleah.
This album is one and only. BTW: Kai Hahto: Wintersun, Swallow the Sun, Trees of Eternity and Nightwish.
