EPICA - ‘The Quantum Enigma B-Sides’ - Song Review
REVIEW BY: EM VIOLET
Dutch symphonic metal band Epica have finally released “The Quantum Enigma B-Sides” on all streaming platforms. The band have recently been teasing new music through posting studio vlogs which are getting fans enthusiastic .
The 9 track album is filled with that great heavy sound that Epica fans love along with a few acoustic versions of tracks.
Vocalist Simone Simons smashes it with her absolutely incredible vocals that I can only describe as angelic and perfection. A huge highlight for this band is certainly the way that these vocals go hand in hand with the heavy guitars and fast drums. The first 5 songs on this album definitely reflects that. There’s just something about symphonic metal that is perfection to me, whether it be the blend of sounds of the instruments or the contrast between the soft and heavy vocals, it’s sure to make you fall in love from first listen.
The album is full of double drum beats, significant guitar riffs, angelic vocals and gnarly growls that will catch your attention and fulfil your symphonic metal hunger. Fans are definitely happy to have these tracks on all streaming platforms and are keen to hear what’s next from this fantastic and talented band.
