EPICA: New Footage From Recording Studio Posted Online

March 28, 2009

Dutch female-fronted symphonic metallers EPICA entered Gate Studio in Wolfsburg, Germany on March 2 with producer Sascha Paeth to begin recording the follow-up to 2007's "The Divine Conspiracy", tentatively due before the end of the year via Nuclear Blast Records.

Video footage of the piano recordings can be viewed below.

EPICA will release a double live CD, titled "The Classical Conspiracy", on May 8 through Nuclear Blast Records. 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).

EPICA have contributed a song to the upcoming tribute album to the long-running Dutch punk band HEIDEROOSJES, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Entitled "20 Years, Ode & Tribute", the collection will feature cover versions of HEIDEROOSJES classics performed by various groups. A June release is expected.
