The Score - An Epic Journey

is It quite unusual for a metal band to release an almost instrumental album consisting only of film music. It has been widely known that all the Epica members are big fans of movie soundtracks. In almost every interview they talk about their love for famous movie composers, such as Hans Zimmer, Danny Elf man or John Williams. Their new release "The Score - An Epic Journey" contains only film music, without metal or rock elements. The album features pieces used for the new Dutch movie, "Joyride." Mark Jansen, Epica's main composer and the drive behind this project, once described this album as "Consign to Oblivion" without grunts, guitars and the rhythm section. Transmission .2006
