One night, gathered with his friends around a campfire, Tuomas Hulopainen had the idea of creating a musical group whose tunes he would compose. This anecdote, which looks like the beginnings of a Nordic tale, is the origin of the idea of @nightwish, a group born in a region of eastern Finland, in North Karelia.
Nightwish, does this name mean something to you? Today described as the flagship group of the Scandinavian metal scene, it is also the best known representative of symphonic metal, a genre mixing metal and influences from lyrical music. The voice of the group, embodied until 2005 by Tarja Turunen, was replaced first by Anette Olzon, then by Floor Jansen in 2012: if the difference between the first singer and the following marks a turning point in the style of the group, the group has been able to reinvent itself and guarantee its longevity.
And for proof! In 2016, the band celebrated its 20th anniversary with great fanfare, with an event tour, notably at Tampere Stadium in Finland and Wembley, England. Their latest album, Human. :II: Nature. was released in April 2020: a double album consisting of a 9-track CD and a long track divided into eight chapters on the second CD. A new consecration for the band with multi-award-winning albums… which will be performing on the Hellfest stage this year!

Epica - Hellfest 2022 – @arte Concert
@epica is a band born in the Netherlands in the early 2000s. Led by Simone Simons, a sort of Celtic goddess of modern times, the formation is unparalleled in combining symphonic metal, gothic metal and progressive metal. It is impossible to mention these different styles without thinking of the six Dutch. Epica is similar in this to the equally cult Within Temptation and Nightwish, distinguishing itself however by its more pronounced love for metal.
A group with a particularly well-chosen name, Epica transports us with each song to a new magical universe where mystical epics, majestic landscapes, heroes in armor and demonic creatures are revealed. Particularly evocative and cinematographic, the music of Simone Simons and her acolytes has the strange power to transform concert halls into haunted castles, festivals into battle scenes.
From The Phantom Agony (2003) to Omega (2021), each Epica album creates both event and discovery. They often fulminate fiery riffs and martial drums, embellished with deliciously bombastic symphonic touches.
