@theforgottenone407 (continuation) ...but Epica is such a great band with a so unique style that even if I HATED Mark's grunts I would never stop listening to the band! What would songs like Façade Of Reality, Run For a Fall, The Phantom Agony, Chasing The Dragon or Consign To Oblivion sound like without Mark? He's very important to the message of these songs, mainly. These songs wouldn't be the same without him!

[sheila1035]

@theforgottenone407 That's exactly my point of view! I must admit that I didn't like Epica at first sight, I wans't warmed to Mark's style of singing. So, I didn't listen and kept listening to Nightwish and Within Temptation. But later I watched to Never Enough video once and I started to like... Then, I started to watch to some other videos, and I couldn't help loving them. I can't say I really love this style of vocals (even loving Mark's part in songs like Run For a Fall or Living a Lie)...

Is it just me or did she look tired? :( I'm sure she was though, I mean concerts are draining, but even when she exhausted, she still preforms so beautifully!!!! Best band of all time, hands down.

Now that's the simone I wanted to see!!

[theforgottenone407]

@masterleonnoel Exactly! Diversity is the key. If each band sounded the same we would get tired of music very quickly.

[masterleonnoel]

@theforgottenone407 SO TRUE! the grunts/growls are what make epica unique. why would we want another copy of evanescence or within temptation?

[theforgottenone407]

@Elsidu13 Oh and to clear something up, Ev has experimented with harsh male vocals. From their Origin album the song Lies. Youtube search Evanescence - Origin - Lies, and listen to from 2:50 onwards. Just for the record I do like Evanescence, but call them what they are, they are not anywhere near Epica. The only reference people draw is female fronted band, and so constantly try to compare the two.

[theforgottenone407]

I have to vent a bit: Seriously people, when a band has incorporated a certain aspect to their music SINCE DAY ONE, why then, 10 years later, are you still bitching about it, and how the music would be better without it? It's an integral part of their sound so either deal with it or go find something else to listen to!

[theforgottenone407]

@Elsidu13 Evanescence is not even on the same level as Epica. Not even close. Ev is pop-rock with a goth metal influence. Epica is SYMPHONIC METAL. You don't like growls, go listen to a band without them. Epica has always used them as part of their sound. They've been around for 10 years, so if you haven't come to terms with that by now, you really should. Epica= great music, great lyrics, and 2 distinct vocal types: clean female vocals AND harsh male vocals.

I have 2 comment about the grunts and growls. I don't like it. Simone is a great singer and they should keep it that way keep keep away the growls and grunts.

Without that it can be a great band. Evanescence, Within Temptation and other bands don't growls and grunts......sooooo BAN IT
