Epica is a Dutch symphonic metal band founded by guitarist and vocalist Mark Jansen. Simone Simons delivers operatic vocals in a mezzo-soprano range though she has also been known to sometimes sing with a clear alto voice that has a flawless tone and a lot of emotion. Mark Jansen delivers death grunts that are secondary to Simons' singing, but very important in terms of balance and variety. The group is also known to employ human choirs and orchestras with additional embellishments such as spoken word recitals and lyrics in Latin and Arabic.
In May 2009, Epica recorded The Classical Conspiracy, their first live album. The live show took part in Miskolc, Hungary on June 14, 2008, in the framework of the Miskolc Opera Festival. It included a 40-piece orchestra and a 30-piece choir, and the setlist contained not only the band's songs, but also covers of classical pieces of Antonio Vivaldi, Antonín Dvořák, Giuseppe Verdi, Edvard Grieg, and of soundtracks of the movies Star Wars, Spider-Man and Pirates of the Caribbean.
