News : Epica Australian tour supports announced

By on October 22, 2012

I’m sure most of you are aware that Dutch symphonic power metallers, EPICA, will be touring Australia next April. I bet you didn’t know that Eyefear, Metal and Gorefield will be the supports in their home town, respectively.

Epica Australian Tour 2013

Wednesday, 17 April – Brisbane Hi Fi
w/ GOREFIELD
Friday, 19 April – Sydney Metro (ALL AGES)
w/ METAL
Sunday, 21 April – Melbourne Billboard
w/ EYEFEAR

Taking their name from an album by US power-metallers Kamelot, Epica focus on the grand, epic and majestic; building upon the gothic, progressive and power metal genres by incorporating intricate orchestral arrangements and passionate choirs.

While their music is aggressive, elaborate and ambitious, flame haired front woman Simone Simons’ enchanting mezzo-soprano vocals and ravishing beauty create a saccharine intimacy amongst the grandeur. With their adventurous song structures, hyperactive drumming, rampaging guitar riffs, shredding solos and classically trained piano arrangements, Epica embody the perfect mixture of classical and heavy metal music. This dynamic has made Epica one of the most popular metal bands of the last decade.

General tickets and exclusive meet and greet package are currently on sale via Metropolis Touring.
