Epica release “The Alchemy Project”
I think anyone who doesn’t live under a rock would know about this release by now. I live in the stone age and have heard about it already. Epica have finally released their mini-album “The Alchemy Project”, a project to celebrate their 20th year anniversary. This album features 7 songs in which on each song Epica plays host for bands and musicians who collaborated with them in the writing and recording.
Our human guy, Mirk Wood, wrote a full review of the album. I haven’t read it because dinosaurs can’t read, but here’s a link if you, a human, would like to.
On the same day, Epica releases a majestic music video for “Sirens – Of Blood And Water” which featured Charlotte Wessels and Myrkur.
