Bloods Initiation Halloween 2010

Epica – The Classical Conspiracy

Now I'm on vacation I take to raise the disc, as I am in better opportunities and visits also inspire me to keep writing and linking records.

And since going to the review was recently uploaded material Epica, the album 'The Phantom Agony 'to our new partner for Gabu made us go, thank you despite not having review and personal motives to the authors of the entries posted here will not alter its contents (except in some cases such as spelling, format general information on the disc or emoticons). However Epica itself had not published anything new for almost 3 years, but his latest album 'The Divine Conspiracy' I put into the blog and review some time ago, and since what I come to present on this occasion is a great album ... good are two. Although

study have been inactive, have been touring in concert and quite frequently. The funny thing is that this material that I bring is the first live album released by the band and was made in the international opera festival in Miskolc, Hungary, with the collaboration of the Reményi Ede Chamber Orchestra, 40 musicians in orchestra and 30 choirs, the June 14, 2008. That is here there will be no predominance of synths but real instruments to fuel the already majestic atmosphere that is able to create the band in each of his songs. The strange thing is that the material came out almost a year later (and cause them further by Nuclear Blast Records), as regularly in other bands that have played in this way they have not taken more than a few months to publish its symphonic material.

Finally, without taking much account of those tiny details of this work was published on May 9, 2009:

This album is quite interesting and I would say original, because all he had heard symphonic Live never heard a band play with brutality Epica has acquired from his latest album, practiced since before something more gothic and now are closer to death metal. We can find very good topics of the band's latest album dominant and a curious mixture of themes and neo classical composers, from Vivaldi to Hans Zimmer.

Although the set was significantly smaller worked very well and at no time feels incomplete, the orchestra and choir in spite of being small are heard and they are very professional, so here at the expense of quality have an enormous amount. Kamelot Palotai Oliver worked in the transcription of Epica songs for orchestra and Coen Janssen reinforced some parts during transcription to make them more spectacular and get more juice to the orchestration of that disposed of, also Yves Huts Coen and vice versa transcribed in the songs composed for orchestra to plating.

Because this is the first recorded live concert that I go, I shall give details of the accomplishment.

notice for those who are eager to take a while to download (512 kbps connection ) as the two discs come in a single link and weighs nearly 330 megabytes.

not described in this occasion the songs because to do this post I tried, but failed to see that each one has a singular charm (as well as difficult to review the 'Holy War' in Dragonland). So my mistake that I will leave two songs and a video recording by an amateur in vivo (albeit poor quality) to evaluate this work yourself:

Dies Irae / Requiem - Giuseppe Verdi cover:

Cry For The Moon:

Cam recording: Star Wars Episode V - Imperial March cover by Epica

Finally, I make mention of the horrible amount of trouble it gave me GoEar to upload songs, so that as far as service is restored will be up to DivShare.
