Monumental is not even a strong enough word to describe the new offering from EPICA. In the midst of a world in crisis and a cataclysmic change in society, EPICA has managed to create its most spectacular album to date. An album that harmoniously brings together Metal and orchestra, choir and Eastern instruments into a perfect sonic storm that constantly provides thrills. A record with a suite specially written for orchestra and choir, featuring a wide range of ethnic instruments recorded around the world by some of the best musicians. Twelve huge, catchy, and melodic songs. In short: they have outdone themselves.
