 ::.. Metal Monk UK ..:: - Review: EPICA - Consign to Oblivion
Shortly after the Celtic folk lilt of “Quietus” we are again treated to some more of the old Epica sound in “Mother of Light”, featuring dual vocals from both Mark and Simone (who incidentally, has come along leaps and bounds in her vocal range).
“Consign To Oblivion” follows the same atmospheric gothic metal formula as “The Phantom Agony” as evident in the catchy guitar riffing of “The Last Crusade” - and the pleasing mixture of melody and growls in the title track.
However the album also downplays some of the elements that made “The Phantom Agony” such a mesmerizing debut: Gone are the longer songs in favour of more 4 minute radio-friendly songs and there is less emphasis on the death growls (which formally provided a great contrast).

 PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY MARCEL HASTER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
Still, Consign To Oblivion is not a mere copy of their debut album.
Consign To Oblivion turns out to be a varied album, with melodic songs, where "The Last Crusade" is an absolute highlight, with sensitive ballads, "Solitary Ground," where the astonishingly beautiful voice of Simone Simons just gives you goose bumps, and great metal with the necessary grunts and heavy riffs, like in "Mother Of Light."
Consign To Oblivion is an album that overwhelms, is bombastic, full of guitar and drum violence, full of emotion and atmosphere, filmic, filled with beautiful vocals and dark grunts, epic choirs and everything from the highest quality.

Mayhaps it can be the one you owe me. Are you going t'be at this 'Reaches party tomorrow, Em?" Emilly eyes M'rek closely for a moment, perhaps a hint of worry denting her brow, but then she leans down to kiss his cheek before patting the back of a chair at the table.

From the majestic horns that open CONSIGN TO OBLIVION, the Holland-based sextet Epica set a regal tone that carries over throughout the entire 11-track disc.
Melding the cinematic feel of film scoring with opera, Goth rock, and metal, this multi-layered, overblown, and grandiose offering is laden with strings, a choral section separate from the band, and a slew of catchy songs that sound as much at home on a Broadway stage as they do in a metal club's PA system.
Tracks like the calming beauty of "Solitary Ground" make Evanescence sound like The Spice Girls, while songs like "Force of the Shore" join melodic death metal with traces of "Bohemian Rhapsody"-era Queen, ushering in a whole new movement in metal.

What remains though after listening to Consign to Oblivion is the feeling of witnessing something unique, truly awe-inspiring music that goes beyond metal and its confines, this stuff should belong to Music Halls not underground clubs and festivals.
I think if they get a big enough budget like Therion did with their latest double Opus, so they can use full blown orchestras and big choirs, they could really come up with a timeless masterpiece.
