^ Awhhh!
The solo stunning

That riff is.. wow certainly looking forward to this.

I love the riff So heavy,vut yet still melodic

And Mark's kittie is just so cute

Sounds great.

Those riffs sound amazing! Frank might become one of my favorite guitar players

Wish I could play like that!

So MaYaN will go on tour with Sons of Seasons! (And as an addition Simone will sing with SoS too.)
From official forum:

SONS OF SEASONS — the new progressive/symphonic metal band led by keyboardist/guitarist Oliver Palotai (KAMELOT, DORO) — has issued the following update:

"In May 2011 we will present our new album during a release party tour in many cities. Of course we will play a lot of material from the new CD and the most wanted songs from [SONS OF SEASONS' debut album] 'Gods Of Vermin'.

"Touring with us will be MAYAN, a brand new project of EPICA's Mark Jansen! The band just got signed at Nuclear Blast and they introduce a great, really versatile sound. We think it is the perfect package.

"We can also confirm Simone Simons [who is also Palotai's girlfriend. — Ed.] to be the special guest during the tour. Since she also sings some parts on the new record, you can bet she will join SONS OF SEASONS live.

"German dates will be added. We will also organize a very special fan club meeting in Stuttgart. Not the usual 'meet the band 5 minutes and go,' but a real party, an acoustic performance of the band and some other specials. With only one album we are gifted with a great inner circle of supporters and friends and it was about time for something like that!

"In a few days the new album will go into the mix. Stay tuned for more updates!"

Ahhhh! This is going to be so amazing! I love SoS a lot too!

Due my exams, I can't attend to the gig in Enschede anymore. I will attend the releaseparty, though.

I WANT TO BE THERE! FUCK MY NORWEGIAN LIFE :'(

Oh well, I'm sorry Am.. I didn't mean to envy you or something like that..

Eline,I dont thinks she felt that way because of you

Also,just wanted to remind you,Eline:don't double post unless a topic is dead or there's something VERY important to post (Like news of the band,for example).Just sayin'

^ Oh I'm sorry! I didn't know that. I'll edit my posts from now on.

Noononono, it wasn't your fault at all Eline, it is just that it was the perfect concert right there... Wish I could go.... :/

Ah, ok! If one of the forum members ever needs a place to sleep and have breakfast ('cause the flight is expensive enough already, and so might be the trip by car) when you're coming to Holland for an Epica gig, you can always PM me.

Aw :') That's nice

Aww, that's sweet, thank you Eline. I will remember.

Epicans should be helping eachother, right? -kinda off-topic, but ok :')-
