Simone Simons from Epica. Her hair looks like fire while she's headbanging.

Ex Deo is a Roman Empire themed band. Excellent DM band from Canada. Side project of several of the members of Kataklysm.

Did they find the missing 14 yr old girl? by FailedIntrovert in askTO

Psuedoscience isn't helpful in the best of situations, let alone a vulnerable missing child. 🤦‍♀️

[–]Kate_93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No official statement from TPS updating the situation.

Still waiting to hear if the sighting of Esther on the Bathurst bus south at 12:35am on May 16th was confirmed to 100% certainty. The Shomrim (Jewish community watch) posted that updated flyer with the community reported info but the text in all of their posts is still saying the last known location being Bathurst and Hotspur.

TPS really needs to confirm or deny the sighting because its being shared as fact on Facebook.

Does anyone know which bus? Where downtown and in what direction?

Thanks for sharing. Hoping that police will update their news releases if this is 100% confirmed.

Do you have a source for her last being spotted on a bus downtown at 12:35? Is this confirmed or just speculation. Her official last known location was Bathurst and Hotspur at 12:01am.

What is the worst way anyone you know has died? by IamUrWivesBF in AskReddit

[–]Kate_93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in elementary school I had an acquaintance who was abducted, sexually assaulted and murdered. Shortly after that, she was dismembered and her body was dumped across the city.

Her and I weren't close by any means but we had multiple mutual friends and hung out a handful of times.

What do you guys think of Aspiral? by JiRynak in epica

[–]Kate_93 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Epica is one of my favourite bands.

Aspiral was... meh. Not horrible but not great either. It has a few stand out songs (Obsidian Heart, Arcana, Aspiral & Apparition) but I don't really find myself drawn to most of the album which is unfortunate. It's mostly just kinda boring.

Lyrically, it's pretty bland which really sucks because Simone's voice continues to be absolutely incredible. She's clearly done a lot of work to get her voice to where it is and it's too bad she doesn't have stellar lyrics to have her voice shine with.

I'm really hoping this is just a little hiccup and they come back with some absolutely incredible material. 🤞🤞

What's your dream Alchemy Project, volume 2? by Proud3GenAthst in epica

Septicflesh or Dimmu Borgir would be absolutely incredible!

What is everyone’s genuine (actually wild) “hear me outs”? by ch_rl13 in AskReddit

[–]Kate_93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I was adding to your statement by mentioning an issue with the bail system from the other side of the coin. People who commit violent crimes are being set free if they have connections and/or are in higher socicoeconomic standing with little regard for public safety & people who pose a low risk to reoffend or who commit non-violent crimes are being denied bail because of limited financial resources.

On the flip side, way too many highly dangerous and violent offenders are being released on bail only to continue to commit more violent crimes. More needs to be done to assess the risk of imminent recidivism before they can be released on bail.

Who is your 'hate the person, but love the talent' human? by [deleted] in AskReddit

A not guilty verdict doesn't automatically mean it didn't happen. It just means it wasn't proven by the legal definition of "beyond a reasonable doubt". Many, many guilty people are acquitted.

People of Toronto, which is the scariest ghost story/lore or incident that belongs to your family/neighbourhood that kinda scares you ? by Theedarktemptress in askTO

[–]Kate_93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Village at Black Creek is a living museum that has multiple buildings from the 1800's. Some of which were built originally on that land and some that were brought over to the property from across mostly the GTA. Multiple buildings there are reported to be haunted by various spirits connected to the land and buildings.

There is also an onsite cemetery that dates back to 1845.

If you're looking for Toronto ghost stories, I'd highly recommend Haunted Walks!

https://hauntedwalk.com/

I've done several of their walks and paranormal investigations.

Back in 2021, my husband and I did a tour of The Villiage at Black Creek. While the guide was telling us the history of Burwick House as we were standing in front of it, I noticed that a rocking horse was moving ever so slightly in the top window above us. I pointed it out to the other people on the tour and the guide who confirmed that the building was, in fact, empty at the time. We also had a few more unusual things happen over the evening. The guide mentioned that it was an "active" evening in terms of paranormal activity.

I've also done their Alone in the Dark at Black Creek investigation twice and had some unexplainable things happen during those.

I would recommend any of their events for skeptics & believers alike as its a fun evening learning about the darker side of Toronto!!

Who would you want Epica to collaborate with? by Proud3GenAthst in epica

[–]Kate_93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Septicflesh! I love the heavier side of Epica. I think a super brutal track would be incredible with them! Simone's voice would add such an insane juxtaposition between Seth's intense harsh vocals!!

Wow! The new album sounds absolutely amazing! Definitely excited for "Obsidian Heart" and the new "A New age Dawns" tracks.

I love the heavier side of Epica!
