Dutch symphonic metallers EPICA are currently streaming the clip of “The Phantom Agony,” culled from their forthcoming Retrospect DVD. The clip can be viewed below.
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 in Europe, Australia and South America. Pre-order here. The release will be available on November 26th in North America.
The band celebrated their 10th anniversary on March 23 in Eindhoven, The Netherlands at a single night event, titled Retrospect. Accompanied by the seventy-piece Reményi Ede Chamber Orchestra and the Miskolc National Theatre Choir, the band played an unforgettable three-hour set.
Ten high-definition cameras captured the sold-out show while EPICA played in front of roughly five thousand 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.
