I don't see the point in comparing Amy Lee to Simone Simons - both are beautiful, both are amazing singers and I am therefore fans of both of them. That's my view, just saying... :)
@TheAhLux, I totally agree, some of the bands being compared were around either before Evanescence or right about the same time. Epica's music is far different and hard to compare to Evanescence's sound. Just enjoy each band for who they are and stop comparing singers constantly.
i think she is singing about a friend of mine she is never content and betraies everything she knows even her friends.. she doesn't care about anyone or anything..
@FlamingGaming1 Pft, those still around maybe. As a fellow metalhead from America I vouch that there's not that many of us anymore. Far more rap, & pop fans than metal these days. These days if I want to listen to go metal I gotta find a Euro band or an American band that's been around for 30 years. Thank god for the new European bands. I went 10 years thinking music had turned to shit, before I found Nightwish on youtube, and it opened me up to an new genre of metal that exhibits talent.
@pinhead61187 California. There are "metal" bands all over the place too, but I'm sorry I just don't like the latest breed of American metal bands. I don't like death growl of any sort for more than 15 seconds in any song. I don't even like all of Epica or Sirenia's songs because of it, and I certainly won't listen to bands that do only that. Most of the rest are talentless hacks that won't play a harmony or melody because it's too much like "pop". Way to take it to the other extreme morons.
@RicoLen1 i actually agree 100%. i'm happy with disturbed, godsmack, and other "hard rock" bands. the screams that you were talking about don't do a thing for me.
@pinhead61187 I'm really fairly burned out on bands like Megadeth, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, but man, especially with bands like Metallica, the older they get the better they were. I never hear a good baritone singer anymore, and it's most certainly never paired with incredible riffs & solos and a hard edge. James Hetfield for all his other problems, was an incredible singer especially in the 90's and Metallica in the 80's had riffs that were unrivaled.
@pinhead61187 I'm starting to get burned out on female fronted metal bands but I tell'ya these symphonic metal bands were just what I needed. Epica in particular is such a musicians metal band, so full of talent and displaying it on multiple fronts. Epica is incredible. I just wish I could find a band with a male vocalist with a deep rich baritone like that of James Hetfield that could give a SM band a much needed testosterone infused hard edge but still keep the melodic qualities.
@RicoLen1 Apologies if you already answered this and I just did not read far enough back to catch it, but have you tried listening to Kamelot? Although the singer isn't a barritone, he does bring a strong dose of testosterone to the genre.
@voxangelaemortis Yeah, Roy Kahn is great. I didn't mention it, but yeah, he's one of the exceptions for me, the problem is that I just can't find more. I kinda wish Nightwish had just made Marco Heitala their lead singer after they fired Tarja. Marco is unbelievable, both hard and soft singing is amazing.
@Natashaaaaaaaa seems that you haven't heard any other song from them Simone kicks anette's ass very easily and for your info the reason Simone sings is beacause of Tarja
@TheAhLux the compare is because Evanescence front woman Amy Lee is the classic rock singer...So everyone want to compare for no reason.. I think they're both amazing..
@TheAhLux I believe it's just because Evanescence is the only Symphonic Metal band that your laymen music listener has heard of, so when they hear a strong female vocalist coupled with heavy metal they just think Evanescence because they had mainstream success.
I literally just shared Solitary Ground (Alternate Version) with a friend of mine that primarily listens to mainstream music, and the first thing she said of Simone Simons was "She sounds like the singer of Evanescence".
This song is way too mainstream and female-oriented. The divine conspiracy was a phenomenal album though. However, I'm always disappointed with their recent singles, including unleashed
@TearisShatteredMoon its not "female oriented" just cause it's a female voice, its female oriented cause there are images in this video that put women in a position between violence (from the men) or loneliness
@sabeJD So? It's not male oriented if the main character of the video is a male nor is it female if its a girl. The music is being made by a female so get over it
@mayoarm11 I suppose they are releasing the more mainstream songs as singles - it's normal for a metal band, regardless of the gender of the vocalist. Nonetheless they do have some songs in this new album that set them away from the mainstream, right? I'm speaking Martyr Of The Free Word and so on (the Martyr is my personal favourite from the album lol).
Well, in the end, they need to get some non-metalheads interested in their music too, right? It pays the bills :)
Absolutely brilliant song!A true masterpiece!This is symphonic metal at its finest!I loved it from start to finish!Epica is like a fine wine,they just keep getting better with age!Simone is as beautiful as ever and the guys in the band always kick ass!I have pretty much given up on metal in America.The best music on the planet is all overseas now.Epica,Kamelot,Nightwish,After Forever,ect.,this is the sound of real metal!I would love to see you perform in the U.S.A.!Best of luck to you Epica!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Dont know, seems to me that Epica grew too soft, with all this pop beating It dont seem metal at all. And the lyric is so mundane, typical and boring that is just not worth the time.
don't you see me on my hands and knees? IN MY DREAMS, YES

This video just doesn't fit the song, especially in the begininning.
They all move as if it's an Evanscene or Avril Lavigne or Linkin Park song.
It's metal IMO, not alternative. Not even melodic death, where hair in the wind and shaking heads etc. are appropriate.
