The world of symphonic metal is all about big ideas and high standards, but few bands have taken this most bombastic of genres to such momentous creative heights as EPICA. A fresh and vital sound that struck a sublime balance between orchestral grandeur and pure heavy metal grit, EPICA' showcases a compelling contrast between singer, Simone Simons's soaring vocals and guitarist, Mark Jansen's guttural growls; between Isaac Delahaye's unstoppable core of scything riffs and keyboard maestro, Coen Janssen's intricate, hugely cinematic arrangements and embellishments. All of this backed by a powerful tandem: Arien van Weesenbeek blasting his drums and Rob van der Loo providing tasteful low end.
