Travelling around the world and meeting other cultures;
those are in short the major sources of inspiration for
singer, songwriter, composer and guitarist Mark Jansen,
both as a person and a musician. The latest proof of his
unlimited interest in the world around him is the album The
Phantom Agony, the colourful debut album of the recently
founded Dutch band Epica. Mark Jansen and his fellow
musicians harbour a great interest in other cultures,
especially Arab ones. The warmth with which people treat
one anotherthere, but also the music from that part of the
world. The varied sound of Epica reflects all that. Also
influences from other parts of the world, including
South-America found their way to the songs that figure on
the debut alum. The band also intends to d More...

Review about Epica
Linger | Reviewer: Raphie
------ About the song Linger performed by Epica
First of all,i'd like to say that im a big fan of EPICA,perhaps one of the biggest.anw.
In my opinion,'Linger' is one of their best songs.the music fits with simone's voice.sounds as one.so nice.so dreamy.so amazingly perfect.MAGICAL might be the word im looking for..:]
the lyrics..are so really DEEP,and mean A LOT to me..for my own reasons..
great song.i love it.
oh and..one word which can describe what EPICA is..P E R F E C T I O N!
Islam and muslims are different | Reviewer: nadeem
------ About the song Facade Of Reality performed by Epica
I'm a muslim.. and i think there's nothing wrong with this song.. epica has showed great understanding in this song..
didn't u notice the lyrics? : "People created religious inventions" .. they've criticized muslims behavior.. not Islam itself.. see?
I do believe that the us has planned this whole play so they convince the "simple mind" of the american people that they have the right to fight against terrorist.. it's just an execuse to win afghanstan and Iraq.. i live in syria.. the country next to iraq.. and i know the right meaning of terrorism when i hear about the blood rivers in iraq which are created by american and british soldiers..
American people.. try to watch aljazeera TV .. and you'll understand new things about your government.. the greatest liar in the whole world..
it's ok if epica have a view as long as they represent it in a respectable way.. (this song for example) .. but it's not ok at all with me to hear a song as "fools of damnation" which is full of mocking.. they missed respecting other's thoughts with this song..
at the end.. i just want to say that islam does NOT agree with what happened in 11th sep .. islam does NOT suppor Binladen.. islam is peace..
So Close and Yet So Far | Reviewer: Jeff Mullen
------ About the song Run For A Fall performed by Epica
This song is actually a good barometer of the group that made it. The music is simply astounding, and Simone Simmons' voice is so beautiful--she has such amazing pitch control even at full volume--that it's scary. But the lyrics are flawed and the singing technique that Simmons uses makes it hard to understand what she's saying.
Copies of the lyrics that I got from other internet sources lead me to believe that this song had its heart cut out in post production. There are extensions to the lyrics that almost make sense. As they are, however, the lyrics fail to make a single, simple statement; the rhyme scheme has no coherence and there's just plain too much use of passive voice. The words come off as something put together in a couple of hours just to get it out the door. I'm working on a rewrite (which, in all probability, nobody will ever see).
The music behind the lyrics is a sharp contrast to this. It is masterfully put together to show Epica's smooth synthesis of what some would consider disparate musical elements. The melody is simply beautiful, and the band does an awesome job of turning a power ballad into a miniature Rock Opera.
Like the band that did it, "Run for a Fall" has some great elements, but needs a little more work. Both can be awesome.
Beautiful music | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Trois Vierges performed by Epica
I originally downloaded this song because Roy Khan was in it, but the more I listen to it, the more touched I am by it. Khan takes the song to added heights, but with or without his vocals, it would still be the achingly beautiful and haunting song it is.
Fantastic | Reviewer: SEELE
------ About the song Solitary Ground performed by Epica
I love this song so much, it has been a great help for me in these times of rediscovering and trying to improve myself; I indentify so much with the lyrics, it truly represents the feeling of solitude and being lost and not strong enough to found the right path that makes you powerful.
Great band, deep lyrics. My best wishes to Epica, let's hope this band stays for a long time, inspiring us with their melodies and lyrics
great song^^ | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Facade Of Reality performed by Epica
I love this song... but I love all 'Never ending Embrace' and 'A new age dawns' parts. The only thing what Epica does is telling the truth, what most humans can't see, are afraid to see, or just don't want to see.
The band that spat life into "music" after decades of death. | Reviewer: Trausti Hraunfjord
------ About the song Quietus performed by Epica
Beautiful music. Absolutely fantastic. In the past 30 years I have not been so touched by any music... apart from a few Blues tunes. This is good, this is different, this deserves it's space and place in history.
I love it!
nice song and melodys and worse lyrics then expected... | Reviewer: Huun'reh
------ About the song Facade Of Reality performed by Epica
this song is only reminds me the true terrorist... There is a rally mass terrorism... the real terrorist is USA, that it can kill its own pepople... yes, 11 of september they attacked themselves to make war agains west asia contrys such as iraq, iran, and ecs...
today is the most important thing is in our world s energy and the most energy comes from dark gold...
in iraq 650.000 civillian killed by american forces or causes... and they name this vailition as freedom and democracy...
but I bet that some one will bring america freeDOOM and democracy one day... and that day is close...
i like epica | Reviewer: carlos
------ About the song Cry For The Moon performed by Epica
I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG, BECAUSE IT TELLS JUST THE TRUTH. THERE ARE A LOT OF CHURCHES THAT TRY TO TEACH OF GOD, BUT THE SAME TEACHERS ARE COMMITING SINS. I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG, AND I WOULD LIKE THAT EVERYBODY COULD KNOW THIS SONG.

------ About the song The Divine Conspiracy performed by Epica
Epica I love it!
It has changed my life in several times
Im from mexico,,,, most people from my age (13) I mean noone else from my edge knows it or likes it....
I understood all the songs of EPica
I have learned a lot about coexistencial ways
and to change the way to be oneself
but..
sometimes mark is discriminating some religions when I think he should take the best things from all of them.....
Im SURE IM THE GREATEST EPICA FAN OF 13 YEARS OLD IN MEXICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And Im so proud of it

------ About the song Facade Of Reality performed by Epica
The attacks of the eleventh of september are only the reaction to the TRUE "evil in our world today", which is the unmeasured hunger for more wealth/power at the cost of other peoples' peace and freedom, just to keep alive a way of living that is correctly criticized in the song "Consign to Oblivion".
