EPICA VOCALIST SIMONE SIMONS GEARING UP FOR NEW ALBUM - "WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT 14 YEARS AGO THAT I WOULD STILL BE SINGING ON STAGES ALL OVER THE WORLD?"

 

[Sir Exar Kun]

Ya know, Epica has kind of plateaued over the last several albums, but they've been at such a high level throughout that I don't know where else they could really go..... Anything other than what they are doing would be a step backwards. I completely look forward to this album, even though I expect zero surprises whatsoever..... Strange

 

[Metal66]

Excellent artwork so looking forward to this. They can do now ring in my metal playbook

Obligatory first complaint that they aren't playing anywhere REMOTELY close to me. Strange tour routing to say the least. Hopefully there is a second leg at some point, as this is one of my few remaining bucket list bands.

Listening to the new release and my first impression is in a year of really strong releases this is potentially album of the year in my book. Wow stunning.
