This brings me to Design Your Universe, the first Epica album I ever heard. Coming from the same country where their peers, Delain, streamlined the symphonic metal process, it makes bands like this slogs to get through. They’re way too arrogant to rein it in at this point. When I want to hear them, it always comes with a caveat – do I have the patience for it? Considering how entry-level metal they are, they write pretty overblown songs. Of all the bands I listen to, I’m probably most conflicted over Epica.
They try to play to their strengths: Simone’s range is vast and her voice is wonderfully expressive, while Jansen took the old After Forever formula and Kekkei Genkai’d the shit out of it. Or if I’m more in the mood for him, I’ve got to bear with endless operatic or choir wailing. So if I want her, I have to put up with him and his grunts. Simone lures you in Mark won’t let you leave. The nucleus of Epica is Mark Jansen. Epica tabs, chords, guitar, bass, ukulele chords, power tabs and guitar pro tabs including unleashed, white waters, tides of time, triumph of defeat, universal death squadFirst point of contention - I’m in love with Simone Simons, but she’s not the centerpiece.
They brought riffs and chords that are like halfway to Scar Symmetry’s caliber backed by the towering choir handling obligatory Latin duties. This happens as soon as the album starts with Rhapsody levels of pomp, paying off with the accessible romper “Resign to Surrender”. I’m no fan of skippable preludes and interludes (the samples and talking segments are eye-rolling, too), and “Our Destiny” is unimpressive but other than that they mostly sold me on the rest.They take their sweet time getting to where they need to be.
Epica Unleashed Tabs Crack A Smile
I can’t help but crack a smile whenever I hear it.“Martyr of the Free Word”, “Deconstruct”, and “Burn to a Cinder” all have flare, majestic synths, and solid rhythmic bumps. “Unleashed” stresses the catchiness even further with what sounds like, to me, a rip-off of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme. I like the modern production balance while not being overkill (yet).
The band was starting to grow accustomed to these 80-minute musical journeys so I do wish they trimmed the fat. However, too much of something can also be a detriment. Her upper / operatic style is fine, but her straightforward, natural singing has me jonesing.
Their continued conceptual ambitiousness means good songs get weighed down by the scope of the entire album. Epica’s a good band that wants to accomplish so much when, honestly, I’d be happy if they dialed it back. That’s normally why I don’t. It exhibits both the good and bad when it comes to what an Epica song is (with a sweet, soaring solo to cap it).It’s exhausting getting through one of these albums in its entirety. While longer than it needs to be, it’s heavy, got some bursts of blasting, and is a bit looser when it comes to structure.
I dropped those names precisely because these bands are usually considered among the best in the genre in 2019, which really goes to show how thin 'symphonic metal' as a genre has turned out to be there is even a degree to which we can say that Nightwish created a unique sound and spawned 10,000 sound-a-likes. Artists who try to create albums like this had better know what they are doing, because if you don't, you end up like bloated, lower-tier symphonic metal perpetual mediocrities like Ancient Bards or Xandria. I give thanks to God each day for having led me to have attended the original Design Your Universe Tour.The overwhelming majority of albums with ambitions this big fail spectacularly and fall somewhere in the vicinity of cheese and camp on one side and pretension and overkill on the other.
The first three parts are found on the band's second album, 'Consign to Oblivion.' Besides a change in the polish of the production, the six songs come together coherently and captivatingly. Lyrical themes tend to include self-criticism, not so much nature as the idea of nature and how we relate to it, the intersection of and debate between religion, philosophy, and science, with smatterings of social criticism, romantic longing, and epistemological brooding.This blueprint reached its zenith with Design Your Universe.To really properly appreciate the album, one must also listen to the first three tracks from the little symphony 'A New Age Dawns', of which an interlude and parts IV, V, and VI are included on this record. This is also what made it possible for them to craft their own, truly unique, sound, distinctive from Nightwish but also from reigning gothic and power metal bands. The push-and-pull of the universal and the particular, the contemplative and the devotional, the theoretical and the action-based, represented by Jansen's aloof, borderline-sanctimonious psychedelic intellectualism on the one hand and Simons's compassionate, intimate, romantic, borderline-melodramatic feminine 'healer' disposition - this is what spurred Epica to crank out several jaw-droppingly-good pieces of considerable length and effort and insight from 2005-2012. It's equally power metal, gothic metal, blackened melodic death metal, and whatever the hell else Mark Jansen and Simone Simons feel like throwing in the pot.That exchange of energies is what made Epica's second, third, fourth, and fifth albums - Design Your Universe is the fourth - so spectacular.
The end result is something like a cinematic feel, or as if one is taking in a Broadway play, or an opera. The production is still not nearly as slick and polished - thank God - as it is on overproduced albums 'The Quantum Enigma' and 'The Holographic Principle', which are inferior copies of 'Design Your Universe' - but this album has a modern-metal gloss to it that is not present on, say, 2005's 'Consign to Oblivion.' The most obvious consequence of this is a greater sense of balance and compression, which is, admittedly like many things in music, a double-edged sword, often sacrificing distinctive parts of the composition - the importance of this counterpoint here, this instrument here, this little run here - to the great god of the whole, the 'wall of sound.' But because it has not yet totally given itself over to the matrix, but still sees modern production techniques as a partner and aide rather than a god demanding sacrifice, Epica is able to actually turn what could have been a not-cold-enough/not-hot-enough problem into an asset that employs the strengths of both gritty and polished production methods. With Design Your Universe, Epica has crossed the Rubicon from a production style that's essentially gritty to one that's essentially polished.
