Here's a topic for my new obsession. :P

 

They're a metal band from Holland. As usual, fans of Nightwish, Within Temptation etc. should check them out. Simone Simons has an incredible voice, on par with Tarja Turunen from Nightwish, but much more accessible, in my opinion.

 

Their latest album, "Consign To Oblivion" is outstanding, and "The Phantom Agony" ain't half bad either. Here's a pic of the gorgeous Simone.

Yep, check 'em out! :D

 

I would say that Epica are kinds Nightwish-lite to be honest mate... They're good, but not as good as the 'Wish..... Still like 'em though....

 

I'm gonna see if I can find some Epica vids to put up here.....
