Just weeks after releasing the symphonically swirling ‘Requiem for the Indifferent,’ Dutch metal band Epica have parted ways with bassist Yves Huts. He had been a member of the band since the very beginning, but has decided that it is time to move on and follow a different career path that would not be sustainable if he were to remain a touring musician.
Epica is gearing up to release their fifth studio album on March 9 in Europe and March 13 in the states. In an interview with Noisecreep, frontwoman Simone Simons talks about the balance of being a strong vocalist while still maintaining her femininity.
