There is so much on offer here that is fourteen tracks of some of Epica's best work to date. There was also a different mixer brought onboard helping to give their latest recording the modern sound they wanted to achieve, this new Epica album was also said to be a "group effort".ĭon't expect a dramatic change this time around, this is classic Epica who are still performing that symphonic metal which they excel at while staying up to date, The Quantum Enigma is a truly epic release. After Forever, Sun Caged etc.) who has done a great job. Epica are moving forward as they try some different things including a new producer for this album calling on the services of Joost van den Broek (producer, keyboardist ex. Drummer Arien van Weesenbeek's explosive input is once again outstanding and Arien also adds in the darkers vocal department. With that top notch musicianship, Simone Simon's amazing vocals and Jansen's growls they have always delivered and this time is no exception.

The Quantum Enigma is an album that will delight the fans of Epica's heavy side though it's no surprise given the nature of main man Mark Jansen's other group the potent MaYan.

When a new Epic album is announced you can't help but get extremely eager to hear their latest creation, especially as Epica's track record for quality albums is one of the best.
