Epica: annunciano il nuovo album dal vivo “Ωmega Alive”; fuori il video di ‘Unchain Utopia’

Gli Epica annunciano il nuovo album dal vivo, “Ωmega Alive”, in uscita per Nuclear Blast il prossimo 3 dicembre. In concomitanza con l’annuncio, la band ha pubblicato il primo video estratto. Si tratta di ‘Unchain Utopia’, che trovate di seguito.

Coen Janssen, the mastermind behind the show’s concept explains: “What we wanted to do was the ultimate EPICA show where we could fulfill every dream we ever had, where there was room for all the ideas, effects and props that are just too big to be taken on tour.” Far from your usual streaming concert, the band developed a trademark feature called a “living backdrop”. “We built another stage right behind our stage where lots of things were going on the whole time. And we meant that very literally,” he laughs. “Every song got something extra, something unique that was fitting its world.”

Directed by Jens de Vos (Panda Productions) and graced by a magical artwork by Heilemania, the DVD, BluRay, CD and vinyl contain 15 EPICA classics, fan-favourites, as well as first-ever live performances from tracks off the band’s latest chef-d’oeuvre “Ωmega“, such as ‘The Skeleton Key’ or the insanely monumental ‘Kingdom of Heaven Part 3’.

The pre-orders have started today and you can get the version of your choice (see list below) via this link:
