Epica es un grupo Holandés de Metal gótico sinfónico , se caracteriza como la mayoría en su género por la implementación de voces operísticas, como el caso de la vocalista principal Simone Simons y su voz de mezzo-soprano, también es muy común escuchar coros muy contundentes y la voz gutural y/o rasgada del lider de la banda, Mark Jansen quien también está a cargo de una de las guitarras.

La banda fue fundada en el 2002 por el ex-integrante de After Forever, Mark Jansen. En un principio, Epica se conocía bajo el nombre de Sahara Dust teniendo como vocalista a la noruega Helena Michaelsen, ex Trail of Tears. En octubre del mismo año el grupo pasó a llamarse Epica teniendo como vocalista a la mezzo-soprano actual, Simone Simons, en ese tiempo pareja de Mark.

Epica ha lanzado cuatro álbumes. El primero llamado «The Phantom Agony» que fue grabado en el 2003, «Consign To Oblivion» y «The Score» que fueron grabados en el 2005 y por último en el 2007 fue lanzado su último trabajo «The Divine Conspiracy».

El 8 de mayo de 2009 sale a la venta su segundo álbum en directo, The Classical Conspiracy, grabado con la orquesta y coro nacional holandes. El repertorio esta compuesto por temas tanto clasicos nacionales e internacionales como repertorio de la banda. El 16 de Octubre salió a la venta «Design Your Universe».

    Lindzii: I was just implying that it's less unexpected from pop singers. But yeah, basically I've just forgotten about Liv.

    cos' Simone's hot and knows it, may aswell use it to help market themselves, it's not making any effect on their music afterall. and lulwut smin1np are you implying that it's okay for pop singers to do sexier photos but not metal singers? also, I misread "Hell, on Once" as "Hell on Once" disappointment.

    nDroae: Okay, I forgot about Liv Kristine, but after all she *is* a pop singer (see her solo works), while Simone is a pure symphonic metal singer. I didn't want to bring in Imperia (or UnSun or similar bands) because they just are not well-known enough - I said "has been photographed so much and so often from a oversexualized perspective as Simone", and I doubt that Helena of Imperia has been photographed as much as Simone.

    runforafall: Well, if you read what we wrote, you know we weren't speaking much of her voice but rather how she inspired many new bands through Nightwish.

    Whenever you mention Tarja in this shoutbox or in other shoutbox, I don't read.. I didn't do it this time. I just don't find her the best singer ever, I neither believe she has a good classical voice. Just my opinion though.

    Well, pop is the most listened genre in the universe, and the actual POINT of pop is to be shallow. People are shallow, face it. You just have to learn to rip open the crusty surface and feast on the goo inside :)

    If i were to listen to music just for the looks of a member of the band that would be no doubt one of my most shallow things in existence.

    @nDroae: god! Imperia's singer looks like a porn actress! o.O I some times start listening to some artists "for the wrong reasons", but it usually happens for Korean pop singers =P As for Liv, at least her photos are good. @Quispiam: I also think that most of its music is very forgettable too =/

    It's the wrong shoutbox, but I agree :P britdamage: The guys all recorded together, giving hints et cetera, but Tarja said she knew how it should be done and didn't want them around. That's why it's their worst album (at least vocally).

    smin1np: I dunno, Liv Kristine's pretty bad that way too, to my strong disapproval. :-P Just look at the Leaves' Eyes pictures, their latest are worse than the DYU photo shoot IMO. But none is as bad as Imperia. XD

    I don't know about you guys and maybe this is even the wrong shoutbox, but for me Once is NW worse album in every musical level one can complain about.

    BTW I don't think that any male singer or guitarist in metal (except glam metal maybe) has been photographed so much and so often from a oversexualized perspective as Simone. And even for female singers she is rather exceptional in this way. (I mean, a naked image on an album cover is a rarity even in symphonic metal... though they did it with some taste on The Divine Conspiracy - after all, an image of Eve with that one apple in her hand fits perfectly with the concept of the divine conspiracy as some truth that a god wants to hide from humanity.) But as I said, we have to blame the label for this, not the band. The band wants to write good music (at least in the case of Epica, I am very sure about this).
