Biography
Threat Signal arose from the filthy, industrialized east end of Hamilton Ontario Canada in late 2003. A detuned, syncopated, melodic metal machine, Threat Signal combines the complexity trash metal, with a more contemporary grove sound involving technical rhythms, and melodic musical passages.

Before the band had played a single live show, their home recordings generated a significant interest online. The song ‘Rational Eyes’ hit 1 on the international independent music website GarageBand.com and remained in the top position for over 2 years. This prompted many record labels to take notice. One label in particular fit perfectly with the bands vision, and in 2005 Threat Signal inked a deal with Nuclear Blast Records.

Threat Signal’s debut album ‘Under Reprisal’ was recorded with producer Christian Olde Wolbers (Fear Factory/Arkaea). “It’s without a doubt my favorite album of 2006,” Wolbers remarks, “A mix of Strapping Young Lad, Fear Factory, Soilwork… a true Canadian phenomenon!” Veteran mixer Tue Madsen added the final touches to the album and it was released internationally in August 2006. Embraced by fans and critics, perhaps the most meaningful praise for the album came in the form of the Canadian Recording of the Year award bestowed upon the band in their hometown at the 2006 Hamilton Music Awards.

After supporting Under Reprisal on the road for over 2 years, Threat Signal entered the studio in November 2008. They recorded their second album ‘Vigilance’ with vocalist/producer Jon Howard (Threat Signal/Arkaea). “Vigilance takes every element of Under Reprisal and pushes it to the next level.” explains Howard, “I’m completely ecstatic how far the band has progressed, and I couldn’t be more proud of the new record.” Fellow Canadian Greg Reely was chosen to mix and master the album, and it will be released on Nuclear Blast Records September 8th 2009.

Threat Signal has performed live with Soilwork, All That Remains, Opeth, Hatebreed, Darkest Hour, Mnemic, Protest The Hero, Testament, Saxon, Nevermore, Lordi, Hammerfall, Arch Enemy, Scar Symmetry, Kataklysm, and many more…

EPICA - FACECULTURE VIDEO INTERVIEW


Holland's FaceCulturehas uploaded video footage of guitarist Mark Jansen of Dutch female-fronted symphonic metallers EPICAdiscussing about the concept of the new album, lyrics, the song Living a Lie, the death of a dream. Watch the clip here.


Italian news blog Musica Metal recently conducted an interview with guitarist/vocalist Mark Jansen of the Dutch female-fronted symphonic metal band EPICA. The entire 20-minute chat can now be streamed here.


Dutch female-fronted symphonic metallers EPICA will perform their entire new album, Design Your Universe, on November 6 at the first of two shows at Elysee Montmartre in Paris, France. The band also played all of the new CD at the sold-out record-release party on October 10 at Paradiso in Amsterdam, Holland. The first 200 fans who made it through the door at Paradiso received a USB stick containing many exclusive, rare and previously unreleased EPICAtracks.



"Unleashed," the new video from Dutch female-fronted symphonic metallers EPICA is available for viewing here. The video was shot over an 18-hour period at a location near Berlin, Germany.

"Unleashed" comes off EPICA's new album, Design Your Universe, which was released in Europe on October 16, 2009 and will be released in North America on November 3, 2009. The follow-up to 2007's The Divine Conspiracy was recorded at Gate Studio in Wolfsburg, Germany with producer Sascha Paeth.


Design Your Universe track list:
01. Samadhi (prelude)

02. Resign to Surrender (A New Age Dawns - Part IV)
03. Unleashed
04. Martyr of the Free Word
05. Our Destiny
06. Kingdom of Heaven (A New Age Dawns - Part V)
07. The Price of Freedom (interlude)
08. Burn to a Cinder
09. Tides of Time
10. Deconstruct
11. Semblance of Liberty
12. White Waters
13. Design Your Universe (A New Age Dawns - Part VI)

The song "Resign to Surrender (A New Age Dawns - Part IV)" is currently available for streaming on JukeBoxAlive and theMySpace page of the European branch of Nuclear Blast Records.

The cover artwork for Design Your Universe was done by Stefan Heilemann.


EPICA guitarist Mark Jansen previously stated about the new CD:

"It's been a great time at Gate Studio in Wolfsburg recordingDesign Your Universe. We worked with the same team and we worked for the first time together with our new guitar player Isaac Delahaye [formerly of GOD DETHRONED]. This made a difference and made things very refreshing because we could add some new elements because of him.
We have worked harder than ever on the details. We preferred to spend some extra money on great additions which brings our songs to a higher level instead of leaving things like they are. The result is that we worked so hard on this album that we hardly can listen to the album anymore. Now it's time to let it go and release it to humanity.
We were already very happy with The Divine Conspiracy, but I'm sure this new album tops that one."

He added, "The album title, Design Your Universe, deals with new breakthroughs in quantum physics. It proves that we are all connected to each other on subatomic level. Also, it shows that we can create or at least influence matter with our thoughts… a very interesting fact. Because it changes everything for us, our whole worldview collapses once you accept these facts and integrate them in your lives. So this had to become the new album title."

EPICA will return to North America for a headlining tour in the beginning of 2010, with DAATH and BLACKGUARD as support. EPICAwill offer fans a special VIP ticket which will grant them access to the venue an hour before door times, a pre-show meet-and-greet with EPICA and a event poster customized for the city of the show. Fans are urged to purchase these VIP tickets as only 50 are being allotted for each show.
