Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away on a musical exploratory expedition. Subsequent to the pioneering albums The Phantom Agony (2003) and Consign to Oblivion (2005), Epica presents The Score, a stunning soundtrack that stirs the imagination whilst succeeding in being an epic trip without any accompanying pictures. The sound is typically Epica, only without the singing, without the guitars, no bass and no drums.” Mark Jansen, together with Yves Huts and Coen Janssen and responsible for the greater part of the music, The Score is much more than simply “Epica without the Gothic rock.” The remaining orchestrations have been worked out into the most minute details with strong arrangements. As a result, The Score has become an extremely attractive album which will appeal to a far larger audience than just the rock aficionados. An album that might be regarded as detached from all the earlier Epica work, but also as the next logical step. Releasedate: 8 September 2005
