Once you get started listening, you won't be able to stop! Best played loud or with headphones.

This latest release from Epica is a great example of band with vision, class, and emotional energy. They are standing at the top of their genre leading the way to excellence.

The combination of classical pieces done by the orchestra, then progressively joined by the band, and finally emerging into a cross-section of Epica's musical catalogue is pulled off with brilliance. The energy felt from the live audience adds an extra charisma to the performance. It seems a bit odd seeing long-haired headbanging going on along with a classical orchestra - but, it works. Although combining orchestra with metal is not new idea, it certainly is done well here and heightens the experience/pleasure of the concert.
