The idea to create the band came out in 2005 for the will of Dario Grillo after hearing Alessandra Amata, a singer of great talent of Catania well known in the Sicilian musical circle. He had some very interesting unpublished work that Dario proposed to her. Alessandra immediately showed herself very enthusiastic about the project and so in a few months they began to work to the drawing up and the realization of the songs contained in Loneliness in supremacy, the album in question.
Loneliness in supremacy is not a normal Metal album, but a real work in which the classic and opera music, heavy metal, oriental, progressive, Aor music and so on, blend perfectly together to create some melodies of great impact and always charming. Moreover the peculiarity of the record is just the atypical voice of Alessandra, singer endowed with a particular timbre of voice “full” and “powerful”, not at all in line with the fading and slight voices of the gothic symphonic metal production. It is just this peculiarity that induced Dario to realize the record in question and to enhance the vocal originality and of the songwriting as to a market which proposes bands equal to one another from a certain times. This record places itself midway between a real Metal Opera (I remember Avantasia, Aina, Nostradamus and so on) and bands as Nightwish, Epica, Kamelot and I think that is just this the strong point of the VIOLET SUN. They have been able to create something that has a very high selling power if inserted in the right distribution channels.

When The Lights Go Down
Violet Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking through stained mirrors I just can see my shame
What am I living for today?
For great illusions!
Here I stand deceived man
With my big ambitions full in my empty life
With thousand dreams but without guide
What am I looking for?
Centuries are gone
What remains on my hands?
CHORUS
When the lights go down
After years on the spotlights I see my fall now
When the lights go down
We can only resign to the quickly passing time
When the world belonged to me
I was young I was the king of the midnight life
And all the stars were high and bright on my horizons
Now...
... That I'm searching for one hope to rebirth
What is really matter?
CHORUS
When the lights go down
When there's no one more chance and life goes so fast now
When the lights go down
We can only resign to the passing age's price
What am I living for?
My life has just gone
What remained on my hands?
CHORUS
When the lights go down
After years on the spotlights I see my fall now
And the lights go down
Yet I've lost all my life in deceptive illusions
CHORUS
When the lights go down
There is no one more chance to turn back on lifetime
Going out of my bounds
I can only resign to the quickly passing time
