I also found an interview from Face Culture,but it's in dutch and haven't understood nothing

Amazing, he is such nice guy
Also Tides of Time is written about her granmother, i think she died in middle of the writing of DYU.
Somehow she was very important to whole Epica what i've heard.

^I guess you mean his grandma,not Simone's? I think she was proud having such a genius nephew who wouldn't be?

You mean having such a genius grandson, Cris.
Yeah she surely must have been proud of him. I so enjoyed watching this video. Mark is just
And KoH is definately one of their best songs ever!

grandson isn't the same with nephew?

And yes KOH is truly a masterpiece

Nephew is a son of your brother or sister to my knowledge.

Yeah. I can't wait to listen to it with lyrics!

Damn,I always get confused with such things

Back on topic:Have I ever told how much I love Mark's acent?And how warm and sweet is his voice compared to his grunts and screams

Yeah i found his talking funny compared to grunts, it's like night and day
Cris did you notice Mark's scream on the verse of the title track?
THAT'S FREAKING EPIC!

Yes I've heared it it freaked me out when I first heared it,and that's a good thing

The only thing I miss in DYU is the screams.There weren't much screams but that doesn't make me love DYU less anyway
