Yves Huts — born in Belgium in 1980 — was Epica's bassist from 2002 to 2012, a member of the founding line-up and present on the band's first five albums. He was on The Phantom Agony (2003), Consign to Oblivion (2005), The Divine Conspiracy (2007), Design Your Universe (2009) and Requiem for the Indifferent (2012) — that is, throughout the phase in which the group's identity was formed, from the first record to international consolidation. His contribution went beyond the bass. Huts wrote and co-wrote material in the repertoire, taking part in the conception of the tracks and not only in their performance — something unusual for a bassist in a symphonic metal band, a format in which composition tends to concentrate on the guitarists and keyboard players. He left Epica in 2012 and was replaced by Rob van der Loo.
