According to an update from EPICA, after entering the Dutch album charts at #7 last week, the band's new DVD/CD package Retrospect has entered the German album charts at #46.

Retrospect was released on November 8th in Europe, November 11th in the UK, and will be released on November 26th in North America via Nuclear Blast.

Epica celebrated their 10th anniversary with a one-night-only event, dubbed Retrospect. The band was accompanied by the seventy piece Extended Reményi Ede Chamber Orchestra and the Miskolc National Theatre Choir, playing an unforgettable 3-hours best-of set.

Ten high definition cameras captured this very special sold-out show while Epica played in front of nearly five thousand ecstatic fans in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. In addition to a collection of the band’s biggest hits from across the spectrum of their entire catalog, this once-in-a-lifetime spectacular also features the live debut of ‘Twin Flames’ and the previously unreleased ‘Retrospect’, covers of classics by VIVALDI, PERGOLESI, and Oscar-winning film composer JOHN WILLIAMS, two guest collaborations with the venerable Floor Jansen (NIGHTWISH, REVAMP), and a very special performance of their breakthrough single, ‘Quietus’, with founding members Jeroen Simons, Ad Sluijter, and Yves Huts.
