Lyrics:
I have been living in the moment all my life
Leave the past behind
Destiny leads me where I need to be
Let things flow forward in whatever way they choose
As long as I follow my heart I will not lose
Nothing in life is to be feared it’s to be learned
Growth is to be earned
Negative voices make the wrong choices
Behind all hate I can sense so much jealousy
This dark emotion is my greatest enemy
Love is the melody carrying me
Through disapproving looks and vicious envy
Life is a song and I do want to sing it
I dance through the storm and will take every bit
Welcome to the wonderful world of jealousy
Why this relationship unleashes hate and fear
Has become so clear
Revealing the fire of hidden desire
Certainly blame someone else for your dirty mind
An irresistible urge to be most unkind
Love is the melody carrying me
Through disapproving looks and vicious envy
Life is a song and I do want to sing it
I dance through the storm and will take every bit
Welcome to the wonderful world of jealousy
Welcome to the wonderful world
Welcome to the wonderful world
Welcome to the wonderful world
Welcome to the wonderful world of jealousy

Epinikion is a symphonic metal band settled in Belgium. The band is founded in 2020 by Renate de Boer on keys and Robert Tangerman on guitar. The lineup is completed by Eleonora Damiano on vocals. Levent Gasgil and Emre Demir joined on lead guitar and bass to complete the album. For the live shows Rico Snel (ex Adversarius) will join on lead guitar, besides Rusad Hassan (ex Aeternitas) on bass and Joeri Warmerdam (Phantom Elite) on drums.
After Robert and Renate had ended their topsport careers, Robert came up with the idea to do something in music. The combination of his electric guitar and Renate’s classical piano almost naturally lead to the choice for symphonic metal music. As a band name they chose Epinikion, which means ‘hymne for the winner’. In Ancient Greece the heroic stories of athletes were sung in an epinikion after their victories at major events. A phoenix was added to the band logo, as a sign of athletes resurrected from their ashes as musicians.
As a result of the passion and sports mentality of Robert and Renate, the band evolved rapidly. It gave rise to the need of professional music production. From the very beginning Epinikion combined heavy guitar riffs with subtle progressive and heavy metal influences, completed with harmonic and bombastic orchestral lines. The typical Epinikion sound is described as ‘epic, cinematic with captivating melodic lines. Refreshing symphonic metal with a personal twist’.
