Dutch symphonic metal giants EPICA have recorded their eighth album at Sandlane Recording Facilities in the Netherlands. In April 2020 the recording hit a big challenge as Simone Simons was not allowed to travel to the Netherlands because of COVID-19. Luckily, she was able to remote-record the vocals from Bader Studios in Europe. In this episode you get a behind-the-scenes look how she pulled off the vocal recordings.
Simone Simons comments: ‘We were facing a lot of challenges when the Corona Crisis hit Europe. I had to search for an alternative recording studio nearby to record my vocals for our new album. In this episode I give you a little look ‘behind the studio’ where I recorded and on top of that you get to hear some more melodies from our upcoming album. Hope you like it!’
