EPICA Stream 'Unleashed' Live Clip From Upcoming Retrospect Set
October 11, 2013, 10 years ago
On March 23rd, 2013 Dutch symphonic metal band EPICA celebrated their 10th Anniversary with a special concert, dubbed Retrospect. During this evening 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.
Retrospect will be released as a deluxe hardcover book with 36 pages, both as a 2DVD/3CD and 2Blu-ray/3CD version, on November 8th through Nuclear Blast. Pre-order here.
Ten high-definition cameras captured this very special sold-out show while Epica played in front of nearly five thousand ecstatic fans. 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 featured 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.

Epica guitarist Mark Jansen comments: "Retrospect was both our 10th anniversary party and a highlight of our career. The trailer shows it all: our loyal fans, the orchestra and choir from Hungary, an energetic band! When I watch the trailer my thoughts go back to this special day and the great team-spirit of everyone involved in this project!"
