Groningen, The Netherlands (2002 – present)
Nemesea is a symphonic rock band founded by vocalist Manda Ophuis and guitarist Hendrik Jan de Jong in September 2002 in Groningen, The Netherlands. The band currently consists of Manda Ophuis (vocals), Hendrik Jan de Jong (guitars), Sonny Onderwater (bass), Lasse Delbrugge (keyboards) and Steven Bouma (drums).
In April 2003 the band had their first performance as support act for After Forever, and remained that band’s support for a year. They attracted record company interest and signed for small Dutch label Ebony Tears in November 2003. In November 2004 Nemesea released their debut album “Mana” (meaning ‘the magical power of things, given by the gods’), and they later toured the Netherlands and Belgium until December 2005. By this time they were well established in the Nordic European symphonic metal scene. For their second album, Nemesea had talks with some major record labels, but they later decided to sign up to the Dutch crowdsourcing website SellaBand. They were the first band to raise more than $ 50,000 from the fans, and the album, called “In Control”, was released on June 21, 2007. A distribution deal was made with Rough Trade Records to bring the new album to music stores in Benelux on October 26, 2007. Also the band signed a booking deal with Dutch agent AT Productions and found a new manager, David Arden, brother of Sharon Osbourne and former manager of James Brown.
Nemesea added Lasse Delbrugge (ex-Orphanage) to their lineup as keyboard player in 2009.

Yeah, so Last.fm would prefer for no video to be linked to here. :) If you go to the page of a track with no video, there's a button to add one with.

There is no official video for this track. Afaik. How do you add a vid anyway?

Check out the vid I added for "I Cry". Made it just for that song in particular. One of the best by Manda and the gang.

This band is one of my favs. Not just because of the sound but because they care about their fans. I once got an email personally from Manda and it was an awesome surprise. Still have it as a matter of fact. Thought that was really cool. Some may like these guys. But I do. One of my top 5 artists in this genre.
