Epica Options

[Count Lauriel]

Anyone else from here go to see Epica at the London Scala last night?

I was there with my best friend and holy hell were they good.
The support, Revamp, were alright, but definitely don't live up to the hype that Floor Jansen (the lead singer, who's widely regarded as one of the best female vocalists in metal) creates. Her previous band After Forever were much better, but that's just my opinion.

Now, Epica were flawless. Simone was spot on with her vocals, and the rest of the band were similarly amazing. Plus, they played The Divine Conspiracy, which is one of my favourite songs. They also played The Imperial March, which made my life. The poor guy behind me got headbutted because he was out of time with my headbanging >.<

Edit: Something else that I thought was awesome, was them playing "Keep My Grave Open" by Sentenced before Revamp came on. That's the first time I've ever heard Sentenced in this country (unless it was someone that I showed them too), and they're my absolute favourite band. I was rly chuffed

I didn't go, but I really like the songs I've heard by them. They play fairly often on my Pandora station.
