As much as I like Simone's singing, I cannot abide epica. The new singer for nightwish sounds good, less abrassive than Tarja was. Floor Janson (After Forever) is great.

I was a huge fan of NW back in the day, had no problem with Tarja leaving, was thrilled that the new singer was Swedish, and that she has an amazing range... but I can barely listen to the new NW anywayI love pop and rock but barely anything of what I loved about the original records with Tarja was left on DPP.
Metal: ToTheArk, iwrestledabearonce
Non-metal: Metric, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Flyleaf (I really like them, don't know why) The Wild Moccasins, Cocorosie (I'd slap myself if someone from this board liked them)
With all of the female soprano opera singers out there, I'm surprised I haven't seen more high-caliber female vocalists in symphonic metal. That Ancient Bards seems pretty amazing, but the vocals just didn't grab me. Nothing wrong with them, just that I was really impressed by the guitar and bass and keyboards, and the singer was good, but didn't have "it." I might have to find more of their stuff and have a change of heart, though.
