Album Summary
Asian exclusive release of 2003 debut album for goth-metal act featuring ex-After Forever guitarist Mark Jansen. Includes the bonus track 'Triumph Of Defeat'. Seoul Record.
European pressing - CD & DVD. The rapid success of Epica has quickly become a worldwide phenomenon. In 2005 the Dutch female-fronted metal band released two albums across Europe and South America. A soundtrack album, entitled ‘The Score - An Epic Journey’, and their second studio album ‘Consign To Oblivion’, which features the Dutch hit single ‘Solitary Ground’. With their unique style of bombastic orchestral metal and the mezzo-soprano vocals of red-haired gothic princess Simone, Epica is set to take the gothic metal crown from Nightwish and their dethroned lead singer. The 11 track album includes a bonus DVD (PAL/Region 0) featuring Consign to Oblivion 'Making Of' Documentary. Transmission. 2005.
Agony and beauty fuse together into a musical experience which saturates all of the listenerâ??s sensesâ?ť, the reviews raved about the titillating debut album. While this CD was contrived with the aid of the German top producer Sascha Paeth (well-known for his work for Aina, Rhapsody and Kamelot), with We Will Take You With Us/2 Meter Sessies Epica prove they can stand on their own feet while simultaneously daring to lift their music to a higher level. You see, Epica was supported in Wisseloord by a genuine string section and eight beautifully blending choir voices. Borders have been smashed to smithereens in We Will Take You With Us/2 Meter Sessies.
