I think I prefer Nightwish, but I also like Epica. Any thoughts? ------------- Playing a three-hour Rush show is like running a marathon while solving equations. Neil Peart |

| I find Simone Simons a lot more palatable than Tarja, and even if I don't particularly like either, Epica is at least more interesting than many of these female fronted symph metal bands (Within Temptation and After Forever are other such). |

I'd take Epica over Nightwish any day, though I do like Nightwish. But Epica is more interesting to me.

| I like both, but since I don't like growling so much (I like Epica's non-growl songs), I go with Nightwish. I like Tarja's era very much, and the latest album (without Tarja) was really great for me. |

I think both are OK, not my favorite music, but I enjoy them on occasion. But honest to God, Epica have an early DVD that did blow me away. I loved this. Live in the studio, with intimate discussion and some killer music. If you like Epica even a little, get this.  ------------- |

Nightwish has more prog elements and they are best for me as the musicians. And I don't like growl in prog-rock. |

| I guess I still say I prefer Nightwish, but since the creation of the thread there has been released a few new albums. I found the Endless Forms Most Beatiful one by Nightwish rather dissapointing, even if I was looking forward to Floor Jansen singing with Nightwish. Fortunatley the Storytime live album has many songs from the Immaginaerum album sung by Floor, which really takes those ones even a step up. On the other hand, I really loved Epica's "The Quantum Enigma"... though I found "The Holographic Principle" rather dissapointing... almost as bad as "Requiem for the indifferent". |
