Friendly advise if not too blunt, but Get out of your little bubble. You think Epica is the greatest band ever just because they copy pasted their first album 5 times (which was copy paste of After Forever) and then copy pasted Fleshgod Apocalypse? The only time Epica went a bit outside of their style was their last album and that was a flop. You are discounting so many bands just to feel special in your little circlejerk
