Creative sure, but just because you express creativity does not mean that your are creating, you can still be creative when modifying something. Writing a song from nothing is creating a song, covering a song is covering a song... both requires creativity though, at least if you intend to do something other than just imitation.
I actually got into (some) anime and Japanese rock/metal due to this EP from Epica (It was released in Japan and online December 2017). Epica were also the ones who got me into metal in general after hearing the Classical Conspiracy - they're just super good at using crossover elements effectively I guess - I've also heard of a lot of metal fans who got into classical music through Epica.
the original name of the original style and song itself is called "Guren No Yumia" by "Linked Horizon" its also the theme song from the first season of an anime called "Attack On Titan"
I DIDNT SEE THE ATTACK ON TITAN LOGO TILL JUST NOW NO FUCKING WAY NO THEY DIDNT!!!! THE ONLY FUCKING ONES WHO COULD MAKE IT BETTER HOLY FUCKING SHIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT OMFG I LOVE YOU GUYS HELL FUCKING YASSSSSSSZ
I like this version and the other one that was made. I like the overall sound of this one better but I prefer the lyrics to the other one. They seem darker and kinda fit the anime better but still both are great.
I’ve had this song on my phone since last year how come its out just now? I loved Epica waay before I became a fan of AOT, so I was so happy to find this out
First, we have Beast In Black make an album for Berserker and now we have Epica with AOT
Forget fanart and fanfics - fansongs is where it's at now!
This is just phenomenal, one of my favorite bands covering songs of one of my favorite animes, it's just brilliant, I can't wait to get the album
kreshBACON I know it's fucking awesome
Epica+attack on titan= nice 😀
Waiting for a video !
This is insane. They just keep creating more and more amazing music!
Great song for sure, and they sure put their own twist on it... but I'm still hesitant to call it "create" when it's a cover :P
eldsprutandedrake they adapted the songs to fit their style, like orchestrations, choirs and lyrics, so I’d say it’s pretty creative!
U must like kamelot dont you? :D

TheMain hahah I do!! Love their lyrics
I don’t get why people are saying Epica should stick to this style, this already is their style.
Listen to Cry for the moon, or Solitary ground.
Because they don't understand that everything in this song is what they have always used.
And even if it wasn’t sounds phenomenal! :3
I really hope Epica adapt this style into their own music in future. It's absolutely incredible.
Dude they have been doing this style waaaaaaay before being asked to cover AOT songs. Look up Cry For The Moon
You should listen more of symphonic metal dude... There is a lot of a good band with this style of music..
@xvzaa I do but I mean Epica specifically. Any you'd recommend though? Bar the big hitters like Nightwish and WT.
OMG, I love this ! Absolutely awesome work /,,/
To any Attack on Titan/ anime fans brought here to see what this is all about... welcome! Hope you enjoy our music genre
It doesn't matter what brought whom here, just enjoy the things you like.

Floor x2
I enjoy both. :D
This is a MASTERPIECE.
Attack on titan is amazing anime, I love that music and this version is awesome as well
I haven't listened to Epica for ages and suddenly this appears in my suggestions. I love it
Quality content
This album should be the soundtrack of the new Attack On Titan season!
Agreed.
Well, not any of the songs that are currently known to us. They'll have to make something very new and very epic ;)
this is so cool!! I'm very happy that you did this album! ❤️❤️
Omg I'm crying. Best thing ever. Take my money.
I don't watch anime, but completely love Epica, so I guess when this comes out, I'll be listening to it often!
Love that a band as big as Epica just makes an anime cover EP, fuck it :D
Jan I like their originals better aswell, but I like that they're doing what they want to do. And they still sound awesome so I'm happy.
ESTOY ASOMBRADA!!!! QUE CAPACIDAD DE TRABAJO QUE TIENEN , LOS ARREGLOS ORQUESTALES SON FASCINANTES . FELICITACIONES !!!!!! WOW
Amazing!!!!One of my favorite bands in this kind of metal!!!!
the original name of the original style and song itself is called "Guren No Yumia" by "Linked Horizon" its also the theme song from the first season of an anime called "Attack On Titan"
This is what Ive been waiting for a long time
Epica siempre lo mejor ..este tema esta increible
THIS MADE MY DAY!
Saying this is Epic would be understatement of the year.
This is a really good cover, hats off.
I DIDNT SEE THE ATTACK ON TITAN LOGO TILL JUST NOW NO FUCKING WAY NO THEY DIDNT!!!! THE ONLY FUCKING ONES WHO COULD MAKE IT BETTER HOLY FUCKING SHIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT OMFG I LOVE YOU GUYS HELL FUCKING YASSSSSSSZ
Never thought I'd live to see this day. This is absolutely amazeballs in my opinion. Great work!
Damn, I hope Epica stick to this kind of style.
But this IS their style lol
Nope, not this anime type of songs...
Attack on titan made their soundtrack influenced by Epica.. so Epica making a album influenced by that soundtrack.. in short, this is their style
Are you sure about that? Where did you get that info?
Richie Rich a interview with Simone

Epica need to use some of this style, it fits them very well!
They have used the style before. Look up Cry For The Moon. Also Design You Universe (album) has songs in a similar style

When something is so Epic you can't even comprehend it is happening.
Bucket list to see this amazing band before l die .🔥🤘🤘
I like this version and the other one that was made. I like the overall sound of this one better but I prefer the lyrics to the other one. They seem darker and kinda fit the anime better but still both are great.
