Their recent ish work sounds like a cross between Moonspell and female fronted symphonic metal.

I had their or maybe still have their first album I honestly can't remember anything about it I bought it when it came out but I do sllike the sound of that song you posted.

I will have to check out some of those other bands I'll definitely listen to some more Epica now I know who they are I'm sure I just saw the clips on Instagram when I was on there.

Nightwish - Sleeping Sun



Oceanborn (1988)

Nightwish taskmaster general Tuomas Holopainen can f*ck about with orchestras and movie soundtrack influences as much as he wants but they'll never beat this stunning ballad sung by the band's greatest singer.

Epica - The Skeleton Key



Omega (2021)

Indica - Straight and Arrow



A Way Away (2010)

I also love Indica. Very different to Epica as they are very melodic and catchy.

Avatarium - The Girl with the Raven Mask



The Girl with the Raven Mask (2015)

Not so much symphonic as Doom.

Avatarium - Pearls and Coffins



The Girl with the Raven Mask (2015)

I don't think i've seen this video before. Epic song, superb guitar from Leif Edling and Jennie Ann Smith has one of the best voices in metal.

Tarja - Dark Christmas

"Dark Christmas" is the highly anticipated second volume of Tarja's 2017 album "From Spirits and Ghosts (Score for a Dark Christmas)" - a surprise hit and on-going strong seller. This time, Tarja has added a haunting twist to classic Christmas hits and carols with the addition of a children's choir. For those who want to embrace the holiday spirit while exploring a more mysterious side of the season, Dark Christmas is the perfect album.

1. The First Noel
2. Frosty The Snowman
3. Holy Night
4. Dark Christmas
5. Jingle Bell Rock
6. White Christmas
7. All I Want For Christmas Is You
8. Wonderful Christmastime
9. Last Christmas
10. Jingle Bells
11. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer
12. Angels We Have Heard On High

Hell.Yes!!!

This came up on my 'favourites' playlist, I do love this one





It's Battle Beast now which always gets me singing along.

For the 30th anniversary of Icon Paradise Lost have re-recorded the full album. I reckon that the vocals on quite a few tracks will be far better now as Nick Holmes is a much more accomplished singer than he was on Icon.



Only one song is available so far, Widow. However I'm slightly disappointed by the overall production, it's a little bit muddy compared to the excellent Obsidian.
