This is my first week being a part of Diane's Musical Monday meme. I discovered it a few days ago, and naturally, being the music freak I am, I have to play too.Epica has been incredibly inspirational for me as of lately. Being that I have recently joined a symphonic/progressive metal project (more info on that one later), I have been soaking up all I can from the best bands in this genre. And "The Phantom Agony" is one of those songs that tugs at my heartstrings, and makes me melt into a puddle of black goo.
