Discografia Epica

 

Epica é, sem dúvida nenhuma, uma das melhores banda de Symphonic Metal do

mundo.De origen holandeza, a banda foi fundada por Mark Jasen ex-After Forever.

No final de 2002, Mark Jansen saiu da banda After Forever, alegando
divergências musicais com os demais integrantes, que desejavam um
direcionamento mais pesado e menos sinfônico. Começou a procurar músicos
para se integrarem ao seu novo projeto, inicialmente nomeado Sahara
Dust.[carece de fontes] No começo, a banda contou com Helena Michaelsen
(ex-integrante do Trail of Tears) como vocalista, mas logo depois ela
abandonou o grupo e deu lugar a uma, até então, desconhecida
mezzo-soprano, Simone Simons, na época namorada de Jansen. A banda
estava completa com o guitarrista Ad Sluijter, o baterista Jeroen
Simons, o baixista Yves Huts e o tecladista Coen Janssen.



Em 2003, ainda intitulada Sahara Dust, lançou a demo Cry for the Moon.
No mesmo ano o nome da banda mudou para Epica, inspirado no álbum
homônimo da banda Kamelot. Sobre o novo nome:



Epica é um lugar do universo onde nós podemos encontrar as respostas
para as mais importantes perguntas sobre a vida. A maioria de nossas
letras é parecida com o significado de Epica. E o Kamelot acabava de
gravar seu álbum intitulado Epica. Nós adoramos o título. A maioria dos
membros, incluindo eu, adora ouvir Kamelot. Então decidimos mudar o nome
para Epica.



The Phantom Agony (2003-2004)



Em junho a banda lança seu primeiro álbum, The Phantom Agony, com nove
faixas, destacando-se "Cry For the Moon", "Feint" e "The Phantom Agony".
O álbum conta uma forte influência da música árabe, nítida na faixa
"Seif al Din". Os vocais são divididos entre a soprano Simone Simons e a
voz gutural de Mark Jansen. A participação de oito vozes compondo o
coral atribui um aspecto grandioso, especialmente na faixa de abertura
"Adyta", cantada em latim. Sétima faixa, "Run for a Fall" foi escrita
por Mark Jansen e disserta sobre sua saída do After Forever. "Façade of
Reality" aborda os atentados de 11 de Setembro, incluindo um trecho com
declarações de Tony Blair.



Em 2004, a banda lançou o DVD We Will Take You With Us, que incluía
gravações em estúdio de canções do álbum The Phantom Agony, making of,
os vídeos musicais deles até o momento ("Feint" e "The Phantom Agony") e
biografia.
