~  EPICA  ~

 

Hollande  -  metal symphonique  -  ***

 

 
Epica  est un groupe de metal symphonique dans la lignée des
Within Temptation , Nightwish , After Forever ,....
Epica  officie dans le milieu gothique à chant féminin, au programme
grand orchestre, chœurs grandioses liturgiques, voix féminine lyrique,
grognements de mâle, cavalcade de guitares et double pédale,
rythmiques véloces, avec des passages proches du black metal,
des ballades oniriques ou d'autre aux sonorités arabissantes.
Maîtrisant parfaitement l'art du contraste, les breaks sont
proprement incroyables, variés, techniques et très surprenants,
des albums bourrés d’excellents titres, inspirés et majestueux.
