Im wondering why big part of successful female fronted metal bands are coming from Netherlands? Do you have some specific high rated special schools for musicians there or what :p
Or is it all just coincidence?!

To be honost, this is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, and if I happen to die soon, this will be played at my funeral :>

About the others there aren't any wikipedia's, but I'm sure you can find enough info about them.
Trust me, without any kind of offence, I think im still bigger fan than you!
ye, u don't know from what country they are, I see them 15 times a year live (in 4 days again) I know a few bandmembers personally, I have every album including special editions, dvd's and the score, I have posters on my room, I'm wearing an epica hat and sweatarmbands every day, the first thing I automatically turn on when I turn my pc on is epica, I have every epica pic possible on my pc, I'm semi-active on the epica forums.
Trust me, you aint a bigger fan :D
have you analysed their songs 100 times and listened their albums totally 1000 times? I'd go live too, but guess how many times they are in Finland ?! but they come next month and I'll be there, muaha!

As you might know, Mark played in AF and composed all their songs what are criticizing the religions. (ofc he composed others, but escpecially those)
We have lots of musicschools in here yes, thus many educated musicians. I guess that contributes a rather large part to our amount of musicians ^^
not all songs real metal but comes close.
