Dutch symphonic rockers EPICA have announced that their 2003 debut album, The Phantom Agony, will be re-released on March 23rd to coincide with their special tenth anniversary show at the Klokgebouw in Eindoven, Netherlands. This ambitious concert will feature a 70-piece symphonic orchestra and choir, international guests and loads of special effects.
Epica’s previous label, Transmission Records will reissue The Phantom Agony as a deluxe digipack containing 15 bonus tracks, including seven previously unreleased versions and one previously unreleased song. The album will will also contain a 20 page booklet with photos and liner notes by founder Mark Jansen.
Along with the deluxe digipack, the album will also be released on double vinyl being pressed on high quality 180 gram audiophile vinyl and put in a 350 gram cardboard sleeve including all lyrics. This will also include six bonus tracks. There will also be exclusive bundles with a limited edition t-shirt.
Comments Jansen: “We have put aside our differences ‘cause at the end of the day, both parties want to have the debut album available to the Epica fans as it has been out of print for more than five years!”
