Although he left Masterplan for Mekong Delta, Uli Kusch is not done with melodic heavy-power. Ride The Sky is a project at the time, I don’t know exactly if it is a band that, as our friend Klawz noticed,...

There is lately a certain current of opinion against bands that play symphonic metal with a female voice, with every attempt of this kind being automatically stigmatized as a Nightwish clone. Epica is one of these bands, trying to...
