Fugazi Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 The big news today is that Epica singer Simone Simons is releasing in August a solo album that she has been working on secretly for a year, and the first single goes live tomorrow. But the perhaps bigger surprise is that the new album 'Vermillion' will be co-written, played and produced by Arjen Lucassen! https://simonesimonsmusic.com/ "For more than 20 years, ever since she was a teenager, Simone Simons has been spearheading the world of female fronted metal. As a lead singer, icon, and role model for a whole generation of female metalheads, the Epica lead singer remains one of the most prominent key figures in all things metal. After eight albums and countless global tours with her band, Simone Simons finally found the time to release her first solo album “Vermillion”, showcasing her many different influences ranging from prog rock to film scores to metal to electronic elements. Simone chose not to rush her solo project, opting instead to thoughtfully consider how she wanted to present herself. Enter stage right Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon). Her musical partner and longtime collaborator is no stranger to her soaring operatic voice. And while many would use their solo effort as a radical, even provocative departure from everything they stood for, Simone remains true to her love for epic melodies, huge choruses and monumental, intelligent music." 1 Aeterna 06:02 2 In Love We Rust 04:46 3 Cradle To The Grave (feat.
