On their eighth full-length, the Dutch symphonic metal titans go all cinemascope, in a stunt both effortlessly and cunningly unleashing their biggest, grandest, flashiest opus yet.In the middle of a world in turmoil, of a cataclysmic change in society, EPICA somehow managed to create their most spectacular album yet. An album that is seamlessly bringing together metal and orchestra, choir and oriental instruments to a perfect storm constantly emitting goose bumps. A record with a specifically written suites for orchestra and choir, featuring a wide range of ethnic instruments recorded around the world by some of the best native musicians out there. In short: They outdid themselves. Once again. And still managed to keep the songs approachable and wickedly catchy. “More than ever before, we had the live shows before our eyes,” says Mark. “We wanted to write huge, catchy and melodic songs that work well in a crowd environment without altogether obliterating the larger-than-life epic anthems.” From ‘Abyss Of Time’, a storming song via the eerie ‘The Skeleton Key’ and the oriental charm that is ‘The Seal Of Solomon’ to the ultimate battle cry ‘Freedom – The Wolves Within’ and the overwhelming sadness residing within the heartbreakingly beautiful ‘Rivers’, ‘Omega’ displays everything EPICA has to offer. And, quite astoundingly, even more.

B- Epica最近几张专辑中最好的一张了吧,个人感觉。少了个人讨厌的轰炸进行曲式的质感,增加了交响和美声的比重,我个人算是挺喜欢这张了。长曲子确实有显著的优点,但短曲子(尤其是第六首和第九首)也不差,跟我上张最喜欢的曲子是首异域歌曲一样,这张一样最喜欢中东风的歌曲。至于有人说难听,这都难听的话没什么算特别好听的了吧。唯一的缺点就是这张主流了点。PS:2、3、6、7、8。

新專來啦!這張貌似探討人類起源,曲調上更加恢宏,有一隻獨立的管弦樂團,並且有個心理學碩士作詞,感覺近幾年的成績完全有機會衝擊夜願交響金屬老大哥的位置。

比起Xandria和换主唱后的Sirenia,E这张可太优秀了

从Nightwish评论区来的。好多年没听Epica了,更精良了。
