Solitary Ground

Solitary Ground is a ballad by the band Epica, from its second full-length album Consign to Oblivion, released in April of 2005.

Epica is a Dutch symphonic metal-band founded by guitarist and vocalist Mark Jansen. The other band-members are Coen Janssen, Simone Simons, Ariën van Weesenbeek, Isaac Delahaye, and Rob van der Loo. The band is known for its symphonic sound and the use of female vocals and male growls performed by Simone Simons and Mark Jansen, respectively.

All six members write the music, but Mark Jansen and Simone Simons write most of the lyrics, which largely deal with philosophical topics, including science, religion, and world events. To date, Epica has released five studio albums (not including their instrumental album The Score – An Epic Journey).
