Over the weekend, Amsterdam witnessed a truly special concert highlight: Epica took the stage as part of their "The Symphonic Synergy" show, offering the audience an extraordinary performance that seamlessly blended symphonic metal with choir and orchestral accompaniment.
The atmosphere throughout the evening was magical. Epica's unique combination of powerful metal and epic orchestral arrangements gave the night a special depth. Alongside classics like “Sensorium”, “Storm the Sorrow”, and “Unchain Utopia”, one of the most captivating moments was the joint performance by Simone Simons, Charlotte Wessels (Ex-Delain), and Myrkur during “Sirens - Of Blood and Water”, which mesmerized the audience.
This extraordinary show once again demonstrated Epica’s ability to push musical boundaries and elevate symphonic metal to a whole new level.
