Interview with Epica (Simone Simons)

Epica’s new album “Design Your Universe” has been released in the USA since November 3rd, and the album entered the heat seeker’s billboard charts at number 12 during its first week. We managed to get some time to talk to Epica’s front woman: Simone Simons to ask her some questions about the new album, the songs she wrote for the album, the overall musical direction of Epica with regards this album among many other things. Check out the audio recording of this conversation HERE; also do not miss what she has to say about movies and the Twilight phenomenon around the end of our interview.

Link to audio file HERE in case you missed it on the previous paragraph.
