Nemesea

Dutch rock band formed in 2002, known for blending symphonic/gothic metal with electronic and alternative elements.

Formed in 2002 in the Netherlands. Debut album Mana (2005) features lead vocals by Manda Ophuis and an early symphonic/gothic metal sound; later releases shifted toward electronic and alternative rock elements.

A strongly negative review of Nemesea's 2005 debut Mana criticizing production, songwriting and imitation of peers while praising vocalist Manda Ophuis as the album's only clear strength. The review compares the album unfavourably to After Forever and other symphonic/gothic metal acts. Overall the reviewer declares the record a disappointment.
