EPICA have issued the following update:
"We are very proud to announce that yesterday Mark (Jansen/guitars, vocals) finished his benefit cycle marathon the Marmotte. The ride of 174 km took him an astonishing 12 hours and according to Mark this was the heaviest ride he ever did. How much he raised for the WWF exactly has to be calculated now, but we hope to announce it soon. Mark wants to thank everybody who has sponsored him. Without your faith this wouldn’t have been possible!"As previously reported, because of the marathon Jansen was unable to play the Trailerpop Festival in Rotterdam, Holland. OCEANS OF SADNESS vocalist Tijs Vanneste covered for him for the gig.
