After first releasing a cover of Linkin Park’s “Numb”, Tarja chose In Flames’ “Alias” to be the second single, taken from her brand-new live series release “Rocking Heels: Live at Metal Church”.
Her beautiful and evocative voice, an intimate group of musicians and the sacred setting of Wacken Church combine to transform this cover into a hymn to our shared humanity and spirit, despite our differences and appearances. Tarja once again conjures a new dark beauty from the soul of a classic track and makes it her own. First sharing this outstanding performance with the faithful at Wacken Church and now with her millions of fans via the new “Rocking Heels” live series.
