Details: For many years now, the comparative of epic has simply been Epica. Since their formation in 2002 and their quick ascension to stalwarts of symphonic metal noblesse with trailblazing masterpieces "The Divine Conspiracy" (2007) or "Requiem for the Indifferent" (2012), Dutch metal titans only knew one way: Up. Especially with their last three releases "The Quantum Enigma", "The Holographic Principle" and this years' "Omega", forming a metaphysical trilogy that's both alpha and omega of all things symphonic metal, Epica became rightful monarchs of a genre they themselves helped made become a global phenomenon. Yet, as every other band, Epica couldn't take their latest installment of breathtaking cinematic grandeur to the seven corners of the world as they would have normally done. You know why. Thus, plans have been made and visions fulfilled to produce a once-in-a-lifetime event that couldn't be further away from yet another streaming show. What Epica unleashed upon the world on Saturday, June 12th, 2021, was a monument to their music, their career, and their enduring legacy as forebears of a whole genre. Now finally being released on Blu-ray and DVD and various audio formats, "Omega Alive" is the Epica show of your wildest dreams, brought to life by blood, sweat, tears and a healthy dose of megalomania. Think Marvel meeting Cirque de Soleil in a Tim Burton universe. What Epica brought to life here with the help of 75 artists and crew members is a testimony to their burning will to take their band ever higher - even now, in the darkest of times we ever had to endure. Let "Omega Alive" be your ray of light as it was theirs, a journey into the heart, body and soul of one of the most passionate and visionary metal bands alive today.
