At the moment we're teaming up for our European headline tour to promote our new album "Design Your Universe"! We can't wait to play our new songs allover Europe, especially after the overwhelming response of the crowd at Paradiso, Amsterdam, where we played our CD presentation show last weekend. The general atmosphere was just amazing, and it was a good start for a new episode in Epican history. Thanks again to everyone who was there!

We'd like to mention that pre-sales for this tour are going fast. So if you're planning to attend one of the shows, please get your tickets in time! Check our website www.epica.nl for all further info.
And be sure to come out and support Sons Of Seasons and Amberian Dawn as well!

We hope to see you all very soon!!
Cheers,
Epica

Hi MySpacers,

Today the layout of our official MySpace page, our official website www.epica.nl and the official Epica forum will be adapted to the artwork of our upcoming album "Design Your Universe".
A brand new version of the forum has been uploaded today. This means that old posts are gone and that we start from scratch. However, all member accounts will remain active, unless you haven't been around there for ages. In that case, feel free to join again!

Enjoy!

Hey all,

The first official EPICA videoclip for "Unleashed" is now released via MySpace exclusively. This song will be featured on the new studio album "Design Your Universe", due out on October 16th 2009 through Nuclear Blast Records.

Official "UNLEASHED" videoclip



Nuclear Blast Europe recently added "Resign To Surrender" on their MySpace page. Listen to the new song HERE.

Take care!

Here's a teaser to our new album!

TEASER

Releasedate: 16th October 2009

If you're looking forward to the release of our first Live Album "The Classical Conspiracy" you can already have a taste. We've uploaded 2 teasers on our Myspace. One contains extracts of our Classical set (metal adaptations of famous classical and filmmusic songs) the other is a medley of Epica songs.

The double live CD will be released on May 8. The album was recorded in Miskolc, Hungary, on June 14 2008 during the Miskolc International Opera Festival. The band performed a 45-minute set of metal adaptations of classical songs and movie soundtracks, accompanied by the orchestra and choir as well as symphonic versions of its own songs (including a few orchestral songs from singles and "The Score", which had never been played live before).

2009 is going to be a great year for Epica and their fans.
First of all, the 8th of May the long expecting "the Classical Conspiracy" live-album will be released (for more info scroll down), and secondly, a brand new studio album will be released at September or early October of the same year! To celebrate this release Epica will perform in one of  the most beautiful dutch venues: Paradiso!
The show will take place on Saturday the 10th of October. The pre-sales will start at the 25th of April. Be sure to get your tickets in time.
Try outs for the new album will take place in Escape - Veenendaal and Vera - Groningen.
