Holland’s symphonic metal band EPICA have issued the following statement:

“Dear Fans, we’re very happy that our new album Requiem For The Indifferent is out as a result of 2.5 years of passionate and hard work. However, as you may have noticed, ‘Serenade Of Self-Destruction,’ the last song of the album, is missing some vocals.  Somehow the instrumental version of the song ended up on the master of the full album and this didn’t get noticed before the actual release.  Everybody involved in making and producing the album has given everything to get the best possible result so we can’t blame anyone for this.  We know that this is a mistake which wasn’t made on purpose.  As we don’t want to disappoint any of our beloved fans, we are trying everything in our power to solve this issue.” Continue reading “EPICA Issue Important Statement Regarding Their New Album”
