Epica
Epica é uma banda holandesa de metal sinfônico, fundada por Mark Jansen (ex-guitarrista do After Forever) no final de 2002. Utiliza vocal soprano e gutural, e suas letras retratam o amor, o ódio, a agonia, a revolta, a cultura, as religiões e o sentido da vida. No final de 2002, Mark Jansen saiu da banda After Forever, alegando divergências musicais com os demais integrantes, que desejavam um direcionamento mais pesado e menos sinfônico. Começou a procurar músicos para se integrarem ao seu novo projeto, inicialmente nomeado Sahara Dust. No começo, a banda contou com Helena Michaelsen (ex-integrante do Trail of Tears) como vocalista, mas logo depois ela abandonou o grupo e deu lugar a uma, até então, desconhecida mezzo-soprano, Simone Simons, na época namorada de Jansen. A banda estava completa com o guitarrista Ad Sluijter, o baterista Jeroen Simons, o baixista Yves Huts e o tecladista Coen Janssen.
Em 2003, ainda intitulada Sahara Dust, lançou a demo Cry for the Moon. No mesmo ano o nome da banda mudou para Epica, inspirado no álbum homônimo da banda Kamelot.
