Best Dutch Thing After The Orange Eleven

[LeftEyeNine]

..is Epica, of course..



The brilliant symphonic metal band from Netherlands was formed in 2003. The groups consists of :

Simone Simons (Vocals)
Mark Jansen (Guitars, grunts & screams)
Ad Sluijter (Guitars)
Jeroen Simons (Drums)
Coen Janssen (Synths and piano)
Yves Huts (Bass guitar)

Band has 4 albums. I'd recommend "We Will Take You With Us" album in case you want to give them a shot. If you can get along with distortion, railed along angelic vocals with spicy brutals, and you have a feeling for epic, orchestral music, this band will probably be the best thing from Netherlands after the Orange Eleven for you as well (assuming you are into soccer ).

Have some taste of their samples here.

..And oh, vocalist Simone Simons is not famous only for her beautiful voice..



..Stunning..
