Bump!
I don't know why but I always had a bit of a dislike for female vocals for some reason
That was until I was in need of some new music and someone recommended I give Ayreon's The Human Equation a spin. I really enjoyed it and it also changed my mind about female vox. A bit down the line I also acquired 01. Floor & Irene Jansen and Marcela Bovio's vocals really grabbed me and converted me.
I became a fan of Simone's voice the second I heard it on Web of Lies, which was a while back now. I always meant to check out Epica but never seemed to get around to it (although I did check out who Simone was, hence my avatar
). Seeing as I had some down time, I gave Star One's Victims Of the Modern Age a spin, Floor's voice rekindled my liking of female singing and also reminded me to give Epica a go, now I can't seem to get Storm the Sorrow out of my head! Now in the process of working through their material.
Just found out that they are playing at a club that I go to sometimes when I'm at uni. It's very near to my home, only a short walk from my uni accommodation and tickets are cheap so might check them out live too. Apparently Stream of Passion are supporting so I'll have to check them out too, if I heard right Marcela Bovio fronts them too, and as I said before I enjoy her vox too.
Also this...
I would go just to see Simone
