Epica vs Metropole Orkest – launch teaser for »Beyond The Matrix - The Battle«

Metal giants EPICA have launched a short teaser from their upcoming release »Beyond The Matrix - The Battle« – a unique collaboration with the Dutch Grammy-award winning METROPOLE ORKEST.

In the summer of 2017, with the help from their massive fan base, EPICA won a high-profiled competition organized by the METROPOLE ORKEST. First prize was a recording of a song of their choice with the orchestra. In between EPICA’s heavy touring schedule, the band was able to conjure up a unique, never-before-seen 'Big Band meets Symphonic Metal' rendition of 'Beyond the Matrix'. As a bonus to all voters, runner-up in the competition and friend of the band, Arjen Lucassen (AYREON) contributed a beautiful guest-solo to the song.

Simone Simons comments:

"The short teaser of 'Beyond The Matrix - The Battle' gives you a small preview of our upcoming release. Never before did we have such a unique collaboration as with the METROPOLE ORKEST. Expect to be blown away, literally and figuratively!”
