No outono de 1996 surgia uma das maiores bandas de metal sinfônico do mundo (Nightwish ) . Era um novo estilo que era composto de uma vocalista , um tecladista , um baterista e um guitarrista . A diferença era que essa vocal era diferente das outras pois ela era uma linda soprano .
Nightwish já havia encanto o mundo com suas mais belas músicas e a partir do ano 2000 muitas bandas seguindo a mesmo linha de metal sinfônico foi crescendo no mundo . Uma delas se chama Epica .
Epica é uma banda holandesa de metal sinfônico, fundada por Mark Jansen (ex-guitarrista do After Forever) no final de 2002. Utiliza vocal soprano de uma linda jovem chamada Simone Simons e o gutural de Mark Jansen.
No final de 2002, Mark Jansen saiu da banda After Forever, alegando divergências musicais com os demais integrantes, que desejavam um direcionamento mais pesado e menos sinfônico. Começou a procurar músicos para se integrarem ao seu novo projeto, inicialmente nomeado Sahara Dust. No começo, a banda contou com Helena Michaelsen (ex-integrante do Trail of Tears) como vocalista, mas logo depois ela abandonou o grupo e deu lugar a uma, até então, desconhecida mezzo-soprano, Simone Simons, na época namorada de Jansen. A banda estava completa com o guitarrista Ad Sluijter, o baterista Jeroen Simons, o baixista Yves Huts e o tecladista Coen Janssen.
Em 2003, ainda intitulada Sahara Dust, lançou a demo Cry for the Moon. No mesmo ano o nome da banda mudou para Epica, inspirado no álbum homônimo da banda Kamelot. Sobre o novo nome:

Sobre o novo nome: Epica é um lugar do universo onde nós podemos encontrar as respostas para as mais importantes perguntas sobre a vida. A maioria de nossas letras é parecida com o significado de Epica.
Em junho a banda lança seu primeiro álbum, The Phantom Agony, com nove faixas, destacando-se "Cry For the Moon", "Feint" e "The Phantom Agony". O álbum conta uma forte influência da música árabe, nítida na faixa "Seif al Din". Os vocais são divididos entre a soprano Simone Simons e a voz gutural de Mark Jansen. A participação de oito vozes compondo o coral atribui um aspecto grandioso, especialmente na faixa de abertura "Adyta", cantada em latim. Sétima faixa, "Run for a Fall" foi escrita por Mark Jansen e disserta sobre sua saída do After Forever. "Façade of Reality" aborda os atentados de 11 de Setembro, incluindo um trecho com declarações de Tony Blair.
Em 2004, a banda lançou o DVD We Will Take You With Us, que incluía gravações em estúdio de canções do álbum The Phantom Agony,making of, os vídeos musicais deles até o momento ("Feint" e "The Phantom Agony") e biografia.
Simone Simons nunca desmentiu o fato de admirar a (ex vocal do Nightwish Tarja Turunen ) , ela dizia que era a vóz mais bela que ela já tinha ouvido e tentava imitar as atitudes dela no palco e na vóz .Na época ela amava o Nightwish principalmente o álbum Oceanbourn
Mas após um problema na vóz Simone Simons dizia que nunca mais iria seguir a voz de alguem e usaria apenas a voz dela .
Chegado Abril de 2005, o grupo lança Consign to Oblivion, um álbum baseado na cultura e história Maia; Mark Jansen é apaixonado pelo tema - esteve no México pela primeira vez com o After Forever - e diz que acredita em certos princípios que os Maias tinham. O álbum aumentou consideravelmente a base de fãs. Já Consign to Oblivion contém onze faixas, destacando-se "Solitary Ground", "Quietus", "Mother of Light", a faixa título "Consign to Oblivion" (com participação de André Matos no coral) e um dueto com Roy Khan, vocalista do Kamelot - "Trois Vierges".

Em dezembro de 2005 o Epica fez sua primeira turnê pela América do Sul, passando por diversas cidades do Brasil.
Na metade de Setembro de 2006 a banda acaba sua primeira turnê nos Estados Unidos e Canadá, com a banda Kamelot; neste mesmo tempo, o baterista Jeroen Simons deixa o grupo.

A banda ainda luta com a Trasmission Records para conseguir os direitos autorais de alguns de seus álbuns e lançar o DVD inédito filmado em Paradiso.

Barracos do Metal (Part1)
Hoje eu contarei a vocês histórias sobre membros de bandas que foram expulsos e deram a volta por cima .
O primeiro que eu vou citar é Ozzy Osbourne , na década de 70 sua banda Black Sabbath fazia muito sucesso com suas melodias , acordes ,vozes entre outras coisas o que mais chamava atenção era considerado algo sombrio pelos acordes de um dos integrantes ( Tony Iommi) . Naquela época as loucuras do príncipe das trevas chamava atenção do mundo , tanto pela performasse , quanto o carisma e o jeito louco de ser . O único problema nisso tudo era que nessa mesma época os mais variados tipos de drogas estavam sendo liberados .
Ozzy Osbourne consumiu tanta droga e ingeriu tanta porcaria enquanto estava no Black Sabbath que os outros membros da banda não tiveram outra alternativa a não ser mandar ele ir embora da banda .
Ozzy foi embora da banda com uma mão na frente e a outra atras , mas parecia que ele tinha sorte pois , nessa época a filha do empresário do Black Sabbath ( Sharon Osbourne ) se encantou por ele e de tão apaixonada que estava por ele decidiu ajudá-lo , desde que ele saísse definitivamente das drogas e do álcool .
Ele até que prometeu , tentou parar de usar drogas e bebidas , mas não demorou muito para ele fazer uso de toca aquela porcaria novamente .
Sharon Osbourne ajudou na carreira de Ozzy . Ele fez sua carreira solo que também ficou conhecido no mundo tudo .
O Lado ruim nessa história é que até os dias de hoje Ozzy era dependente de coisas desse tipo . Mas o lado bom é que até hoje suas musicas fazem sucesso no mundo inteiro .
Zakk Wylde
Ex guitarrista da banda de Ozzy Osbourne foi mandado embora da banda atraves de uma carta . O motivo para a expulsão do Zakk é que as músicas do Osias estavam soando muito como Black Label Society.O curioso é que Zakk não sabia da sua expulsão.
Não demorou muito até que a banda dele Black Label Society ficasse tão conhecida como a banda de Ozzy .
David Scott Mustaine era guitarrista do metallica e após uma briga com James Hetfield foi mandado embora do Metallica e após um tempo criou sua banda chamada Megadeath .
Essas duas grandes bandas chamam atenção do mundo do metal , mas mesmo assim existem pessoas que gostam do metallica e dizem que megadeath não é tão bom assim .
Tarja Turunen (Ex vocal do nightwish )
Tarja Turunen era a bela vocal do Nightwish que encantava a todos com seu carisma , suas vestimentas , sua atitude no palco e sua linda voz de soprano .
Ela ficou na banda desde o nicio no outono de 1996 , mas acabou sendo demitida através de uma carta escrita por todos da banda que foi entregue a ela após o DvD (End Of an Era ).
Tuomas Holopainen líder do nightwish escreveu na carta que todos gostavam muito dela , mas após uns anos ela deixou de ser aquela garota meiga e fofa do começo para se tornar uma mulher arrogante .
Ele escreveu na carta que ela o tão empresario e marido dela ( Marcelo Cabuli ) roubaram a banda entre outras acusações .
Todos da banda entregaram a carta a ela após as filmagens do Dvd e disseram para ela abri-la só no dia seguinte .
Quando ela abriu ela disse que se sentiu traída por todos e no outro dia pela manha ela teria que fazer uma coletiva com a imprensa sobre sua saída da banda .
Durante a coletiva ela chorou muito e disse que não estava mais no Nightwish e que iria seguir sua carreira sozinha .
Tarja Turunen ficou na banda de 1996 a 2005 e hoje ela foi substituída por Anette Olzon . Tarja Turunen começou a fazer sua carreira solo e como antes se deu muito bem e fez parcerias com diversas bandas .

Today I will tell you stories about members of bands who were expelled and made a comeback.
The first is that I am going to quote Ozzy Osbourne, in the 70's his band Black Sabbath was very successful with their melodies, chords, voices, among other things that really drew attention was considered something of a shadow by the chords of the members (Tony Iommi) . At that time the follies of the prince of darkness called the world's attention by both the performs, as the crazy charisma and way of being. The only problem in all this was that at that time all kinds of drugs were being released.
Ozzy Osbourne has consumed drugs and drank so much crap was in Black Sabbath while the other band members had no choice but to send him to leave the band.
Ozzy left the band with one hand in front and another behind, but it seemed that he was lucky because at that time the daughter of Black Sabbath's manager (Sharon Osbourne) became fascinated by it and was so passionate that he decided to helpso, since he definitely came out of drugs and alcohol.
He even promised that he tried to stop using drugs and drinking, but did not take long for him to make use of touch that crap again.
Sharon Osbourne helped the career of Ozzy. He made his solo career that was also known in the whole world.
The downside to this story is that even today Ozzy was dependent on things like that. But the good thing is that even today his songs are popular worldwide.
Zakk Wylde
Former guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne was fired from the band through a letter. The reason for the expulsion of Zakk is that the songs were sounding very much like Osias Black Label Society.O curious is that Zakk did not know their expulsion.
It was not long until his band Black Label Society became so known as Ozzy's band.
David Scott Mustaine was Metallica's guitarist and after a fight with James Hetfield of Metallica was sent away and after a time formed his band called Megadeath.
These two great bands draw attention from the metal world, but there are still people who like metallica and Megadeath say is not that good.
Tarja Turunen (ex singer of Nightwish)
Tarja Turunen was the beautiful voice of Nightwish who charmed everyone with his charisma, his dress, his attitude on stage and her beautiful soprano voice.
She was in the band since NICI in the fall of 1996, but was dismissed by a letter written by all of the band that was handed to her after the DVD (End Of an Era).
NIGHTWISH leader Tuomas Holopainen wrote in the letter that everyone liked her a lot, but after a year she left the girl to be sweet and soft start to become an arrogant woman.
He wrote in the letter that she and her husband as entrepreneur (Marcelo Cabuli) stole the band among other charges.
All the band delivered the letter to her after the filming of the DVD and told her to open it until the next day.
When she opened it she said she felt betrayed by everyone and the next morning she had to do a conference with the press about his departure from the band.
During the press conference she wept and said he was not in the NW and would pursue his career alone.
Tarja Turunen was in the band 1996 to 2005 and today she was replaced by Anette Olzon. Tarja Turunen began his solo career as before and did very well and has partnered with several bands.

Catamenia
Nós aqui do Brasil já vimos que o senário musical na Finlandia aumentou e des do fim da década de 80 quase chegando aos 90 muitas bandas surgiram de lá mostrando um lado do metal que muitos ainda não conheciam . Bandas como Stratovarius , Sonata Artica , Finntroll , Barathrum , Children Of Bodom , Nightwish , Catamenia entre outras muitas outras . Elas trouceram outros generos musicais dentro do metal como o ( Power metal Satratovarius e Sonata Artica seriam os melhores exemplos desse genero ) , ( Nightwish trazendo para nós aquilo que chamamos de metal sinfonico melódico ) , ( e como não dizer de Catamenia que seria black metal melódico ).
A banda Catamenia foi fundada em 1995, por Riku Hopeakoski (guitarra e teclados) e Mika Tönning (vocais), em Oulu. Conseguiu seu primeiro contrato com a gravadora Massacre Records, e logo após veio a divulgação da demo Winds, em 1997.
A banda Catamenia foi fundada em 1995, por Riku Hopeakoski (guitarra e teclados) e Mika Tönning (vocais), em Oulu. Conseguiu seu primeiro contrato com a gravadora Massacre Records, e logo após veio a divulgação da demo Winds, em 1997.
No ano seguinte, o grupo lançou seu primeiro álbum, o Halls of Frozen North, dando início a uma saga de quatro trabalhos de estúdio, onde cada tema era ligado ao outro por algum fato da história de cada álbum.
O segundo álbum foi lançado em 1999, o excelente Morning Crimson, quando conseguiram destaque entre as grandes bandas de black metal melódico na Europa.
Após esse álbum os Catamenia sofreu algumas mudanças em seu line-up. Saiu o guitarrista Sampo Ukkola e o baterista Toni Tervo, e foram substituídos por Ari Nissilä e Sir Luttinen (Black League). Mas essa formação só durou às gravações do terceiro álbum, chamadoEternal Winter's Prophecy. Depois, o baterista Sir Luttinen e a tecladista Heidi Riihinen resolveram deixar a banda.
Em 2002, com a participação do baterista Janne Kusmin (Kalmah), e os teclados nas mãos de Riku Hopeakoski, o grupo volta destruindo tudo, com o seu mais forte álbum de estúdio, "Eskhata" .
Mais três álbuns foram lançados, o ChaosBorn, também considerado um dos melhores trabalhos da banda, com destaque na música “Calm Before the Storm “, Winternight Tragedies e o álbum Location:COLD.
Durante as gravações de Winternight Tragedies houve uma nova mudança na formação da banda: o vocalista Mika Tönning e o baixistaTimo foram substituídos por O.J. Mustonen e Mikko Hepo-oja. Depois de uma tour de sucesso pela Europa, o baixista Toni Kansanoja junta-se à banda, depois da saída de Mikko.
Mais uma vez a banda teve problemas durante a gravação de um novo álbum. Após cantar quarto faixas O.J. Mustonen perdeu a voz e teve que ser substituído por Antti 'Hape' Haapsamo. Mais terde, depois do lançamento de Location: Cold, Kari Vähäkuopus tornou-se no novo vocalista.
Durante uma tour à Rússia Tero Nevala deixou a banda, que continuou a digressão sem tecladista. Na Primavera de 2007 é a vez do baterista Veikko Jumisko abandoner a banda. Mikko Nevanlahti entra para o seu lugar.
Em 2008 é esperado um novo álbum, que se deverá intitular VIII.
Em meados de 2011 a banda estava preparando um album novo . E parece que esse album vai ser mais pesado que os anteriores . Agora é só esperar e torcer para que eles venham para o Brasil com uma nova turnê .

Para quem ainda não ouviu Catamenia não sabem o que estão perdendo pois suas letras , seus solos , são uma coisa imprecionante para esse senário musical que cresce a cada ano .
Vou postar aqui uma das músicas deles que eu mais gosto . Espero que todos gostem dessa banda e divulguem para seus amigos pois seria muito legal ver um show deles por aqui .
We here in Brazil we have seen that the scenario in Finland increased and musical des the end of the 80 to 90 almost there arose many bands there showing one side of the metal that many still do not know. Bands like Stratovarius, Sonata Artica, Finntroll, Barathrum, Children Of Bodom, Nightwish, among other many other Catamenia. They trouceram in other musical genres such as metal (Power Metal Sonata Artica Satratovarius and would be the best examples of this genre), (Nightwish bringing us what we call symphonic melodic metal), (and how not to say it would be black metal Catamenia melodic).
They released their first demo album in their first active year, simply titled Demo '95. Their second demo, Winds released in 1996, led to a four-album contract with Massacre Records in 1997. Their debut full-length album Halls of Frozen North was recorded in Commusication Studios, Beindersheim, Germany, in 1997 with Gerhard Magin (Crematory, Mystic Circle) and was released in 1998. A year later they recorded their second album, Morning Crimson (1999) in Sweden, at Sunlight Studios with Thomas Skogsberg (Katatonia,Dismember). The band's third album Eternal Winter's Prophecy was recorded in their home country in 2000 at Tico-Tico Studios with Ahti Kortelainen (Kalmah, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Dawn of Relic). Their last album for Massacre Records was entitled Eskhata, released in 2002, recorded in Oulu, Finland at SoundMix Studios with producer Mika Pohjola (The Black League). After the release and promotion ofEskhata, Catamenia renewed their contract with Massacre Records for three more albums, citing good working relations.

The band's third album Eternal Winter's Prophecy was recorded in their home country in 2000 at Tico-Tico Studios with Ahti Kortelainen (Kalmah, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Dawn of Relic). Their last album for Massacre Records was entitled Eskhata, released in 2002, recorded in Oulu, Finland at SoundMix Studios with producer Mika Pohjola (The Black League). After the release and promotion ofEskhata, Catamenia renewed their contract with Massacre Records for three more albums, citing good working relations.
Catamenia faced many line-up changes during the rehearsal of their fifth album, but their line-up steadied and again were a six-piece for its release.
Catamenia recorded their fifth album Chaos Born at Neo Studio in Oulu, Finland with Kari Vähäkuopus and Immu Ilmarinen (Burning Point, Embraze, Afterworld, Sentenced). ChaosBorncombines melodics and aggressive metal with excellent balance. After praise from media and their fans for ChaosBorn, Winternight Tragedies was stated as their sixth studio release, again with Mastervox Studios and producers Kakke Vähäkuopus and Immu Ilmarinen.
While working on Winternight Tragedies, the band encountered problems with collaboration, distance and lack of practice. As a result line-up changes were made. Vocalist Mika and bassist Timo were replaced by new vocalist O.J. Mustonen and bassist Mikko Hepo-oja.
The album features raw, aggressive and angry songs while still keeping the melodious background intact.
In 2006, their seventh album, Location:COLD was released. Later that year, a DVD entitled, Bringing the Cold to Poland, was released featuring live recordings at the Stodola Club inWarsaw, Poland.
Drummer Veikko Jumisko departed from Catamenia in Spring 2007 because he was not able to join the tour anymore.
The US tour was postponed until 2008, because of promotion problems. A short Canadian tour called Brothers of Cold took place in May 2008.
In May 2008, Olli Mustonen left the band for undisclosed reasons. It is believed since he missed the Canadian tour, he was deemed unreliable. Ari Nissilä will take over lead vocals from now on.
In December 2009 Catamenia started the recording of the their upcoming album called Cavalcade. It was released via Massacre Records on February 26, 2010.
In September 2010, Ari Nissilä, Toni Kansanoja, Mikko Nevanlahti and Kari Vähäkuopus decided to leave the band, but already in early October, there were new members attached to the band - bassist Mikko Hepo-oja, drummer Tony Qvick and guitarist Sauli Jauhiainen. Later on the band attached new singer Juha-Matti Perttunen and keyboardist Jussi Sauvola to the band.
In mid 2011 the band was preparing a new album. And it seems that this album willbe heavier than before. Now just wait and hope they come to Brazil with a new tour.
For those who have not heard Catamenia do not know what they are missingbecause his lyrics, his solos are a thing imprecionante senary for this musical that grows every year.
I'll post here one of their songs I like best. I hope you all enjoy this band and disseminate to your friends because it would be really cool to see a show of themhere.
