Epica - The Classical Conspiracy (2CD)

SKU NB2339
Epica finally releases a live set and in typical fashion its nothing short of over the top and immaculate. The performance was recorded as part of the Bartok + Miskolc International Opera Festival in Miskolc, Hungary on 6/14/08. The set starts out a bit weird...the orchestra starts off with some classical pieces and then they are joined by the band who kick in and energize these warhorse tracks. They even do some oddball covers of movie soundtrack music. Finally Simone Simons takes the stage and the band soars through a selection of material from their catalog - all with the backing of the orchestra. I don't think there is a DVD planned although I wish there was - this must have been a sight to see. Once again Epica are EPIC! Highest recommendation.

This is a fantastic set! A must have for any Epica Fan for sure! I had flirted with the idea of flying out to Hungary to catch this show last year, now I wish I had! I am very disappointed that they didn't do a DVD of this one... Simone says it best near the end of the album "This is the way [Epica's] music is supposed to sound live."
