🎫 TICKETS: https://www.epica.nl/tour 🎫
The performance was Epica's first-ever major TV appearance and hasn't been available physically since 2007. It is available as a part of 'We Still Take You With Us' (out now), which bundles it together with their legendary (and never released) live performance 'Live at Paradiso,' as well as their first three albums: 'The Phantom Agony,' 'Consign To Oblivion' and 'The Score.'

Order it on an 11-disc vinyl box set, Earbook with 36-pages and 8 discs or 4-CD box clamshell. 'Live at Paradiso' and 'We Will Take You With Us' are available to download or stream, while 'Live at Paradiso' can be purchased as 2-CD+Blu-ray, too.
