Bio:

Ever since EPICA emerged on the scene at the end of 2002, the band has been living in a whirlwind of studio recordings, interviews, screaming fans, live performances and a rock 'n roll lifestyle. With every new album EPICA pushes the boundaries by reinventing their distinctive style, and nothing seems to stop the band on their rise to the top.With their previous record ‘Design Your Universe', seen by many as a true milestone in bombastic and symphonic metal, EPICA seemed to have found the perfect musical mixture between classical and heavy music. The album entered the charts everywhere and consolidated their position among the top of today's metal acts. An extensive tour marathon with over 200 headlining shows allover the globe proved both their ambition and their success.This time EPICA once again raises the bar with their fifth album called 'Requiem of the Indifferent'. Full of trademark hymns, significant lyrics, powerful guitar riffing alternated with cinematic interludes, Simone Simons' angelic voice, it is a very logical step after ‘Design Your Universe'. Again it is an album which has to grow on the listener, so make sure to give it a couple of spins to get the whole picture. As with every album, EPICA mixes hard, technical and fast with intimate and slow, with as good as everything in between. However, this time around it are the huge contrasts which make ‘Requiem for the Indifferent' stick out. The album will take you on a journey through brutal metal, sweet melodies, technical instrumental passages, theatrical moods, epic orchestration, varying vocal ranges, catchy tunes followed by complex songwriting, etc. More than ever the band connects all these extremes flawlessly, making this a more dynamic, more versatile, more detailed, more style crossing EPICA than before. All of this is actually an acccumulation of individual talent, as EPICA happens to have some of the finest musicians around. Ariën Van Weesenbeek, one of the best drummers in the metal scene, supported by the solidness of bass player Yves Huts. Isaac Delahaye, known for his adventurous guitar riffs and praised for his tasty soloing. Mark Jansen, main songwriter of the band, rhythm guitarist & grunter. The classically trained pianist Coen Janssen, who is also responsible for all the choir arrangements. And last but not least frontwoman Simone Simons, who has an extremely diverse, unique and enchanting voice. ‘Requiem for the Indifferent' is proof that this sextet is on a constant quest for renewal and that only the best is good enough.The album title refers to the end of an era. Mankind can no longer stick their head in the sand for the things that are happening around us: tensions between different religions and cultures, wars, natural disasters, a huge financial crisis. As we are all connected; the universe, the earth, nature, animals and human beings, this period in time will be the prelude to the end for those who still don't want to, or simply won't see it. A requiem for the indifferent but also a possibility for a new beginning with great new chances.Once again, EPICA produced the new album along with Sascha Paeth (AVANTASIA, KAMELOT) at the Gate Studio in Wolfsburg, Germany.'Requiem of the Indifferent' will be released on the 9th of March 2012 (13th of March in the US), after which the band will start promoting the album with a big production world tour.

Album:

Founded in 2002, Dutch Symphonic Metal sextet Epica have been weaving intensely beautiful, sonic tales for the past fifteen years. With seven studio albums to their credit – from 2003’s The Phantom Agony to 2016’s The Holographic Principle – Epica have become known for quality Metal with a massive sound. Currently on tour in North America with Lacuna Coil, Insomnium, and Elantris, Epica are poised to release an addendum to The Holographic Principle, the six-song EP The Solace System, which arrives Friday, September 1st via Nuclear Blast Records.Though they had enough fabulous material available from The Holographic Principle sessions to release a double-disc, Epica – Vocalist Simone Simons, Guitarist/Dirty Vocalist Mark Jansen, Guitarist Isaac Delahaye, Bassist Rob van der Loo, Drummer Ariën van Weesenbeek, and Keyboardist Coen Janssen – instead chose to release a single disc followed by this EP. “The Solace System” kicks off its namesake EP with the striking and splendid Symphonic Metal sound that fans expect from Epica. Simons’ voice is flawless and the melodies here are to die for, leading the band into “Fight Your Demons.” Blistering Metal guitars sit alongside stunning, exquisitely haunting synth-work – and those wonderfully spectacular vocals from Simon – creating a multi-layered sound that is massive here. As with many of Symphonic Metal’s greatest vocalists, Simons could stand alongside, say, the marvelous Sarah Brightman on a Broadway stage and hold her own with ease.“Architect of Light” builds a luscious story that weaves orchestral and choral elements through Simons’ marvelous vocals and Jansen’s darkly ominous growls; creating a sound that is fully enormous, lusciously evocative, and worthy of a the next high-budget Fantasy film. Next, incredibly heavy bass work from van der Loo blends with racing Metal guitars from Jansen and Delahaye to create the approach of “Wheel of Destiny.” This nearly six-minute long epic is a novel unto itself, a stunning display of what Symphonic Metal should be: heavy and light, blistering and beautiful. “We have to earn the weight of truth,” Simons chants as Jansen utters a stream of ominous growls. A racing guitar solo and those amazing sonic layers help to paint the fantastical picture that is Epica.The gorgeously delicate “Immortal Melancholy” dials it down to a largely acoustic romp that sounds like a dance with the angels in melancholic glory, while, at over six-minutes in duration, “Decoded Poetry” is the lengthiest and final offering on the EP. Soaring guitars sit alongside pummeling rhythms and jackhammering drums that race the band into Jansen’s rough vocal offerings, which are highlighted here and a superb complement to Simons’ angelic operatics; furthering the darkness inherent in this story and creating an outstanding denouement to this collection.With The Solace System, Epica have woven a glorious spell that serves as the perfect addendum to their 2016 hit release, The Holographic Principle. A continuation that is both intensely beautiful and immaculate, these six songs are a prime example of what it means to be Symphonic Metal with immense artistic talent and heart.
