Epica is a indisputedly a Symphonic Gothic Metal band that's elements are rooted in the Dark side of 18th/19th Century Romanticism. Very Gothic as far as Gothic Metal bands go.
I mainly listen to black and pagan metal, but Epica is fucking awesome. Other than old Nightwish, they're the only female fronted band worth listening to.
You know what pisses me off? This album is my favorite, and it's like 50 usd + if you can even manage to find one of them. I really miss the more symphonic feel from Consign To Oblivion and The Phantom Agony. Don't get me wrong, i love the newer albums... but CTO and TPA are symphonic masterpieces!
@shazariahl Bah, nobody listens to Brittany anymore, I think a better analogy would be Justin Bieber will have 25,000, but even so, he'd probably have more like 250,000 sadly.
@taxo Mark Jensen is an amazing guitarist as well,. If you're talking about lead, i think Mark Jensen could have written a great solo if they used solos on this album. I'd agree though, sounds like the shit he plays.
"in 1908 a lady named sally rusa was in the woods looking for a dog until a ghost came and killed her so if ur reading this u will find a bloody body in your closet hanging there haunting you and will kill you and ur family and if u want to stop this just sends this to 6 videos in 30 mins or this will happen good luck"
The end choir is so beautiful and moving that it seems like something you would hear while passing away to sum up the entire journey you had. Epica FTW
WTF ? JUST 6 COMMENTS ? O.o it's one their best songs... btw i liked the first two albums more than the third one, but they still rock... i love epica ^_^

"We consciously sign our own sentence of death
How can you go on, did you forget
What we have learned from the past?
We can’t go on killing ourselves
And with us all the rest
Why can’t you see, don’t you regret?"

Her music should be forbidden , because it makes all other music look like total crap.
