News update (new single, pictures & more!)

I wasn't able to update my blog due to personal reasons over the last few weeks but now it's time to gather all the exciting news in one place! :) First of all, the wonderful new single "Unchain Utopia" was released on April 4.


The promotion of The Quantum Enigma started with Simone & Isaac visiting Vintage Vinyl, New Jersey for a acoustic performance several days ago. Some dedicated fans created a free CD including the performance of Black Infinity, Dreamscape, Canvas of Life and Storm the Sorrow. You can download it here :) 
You can also check out the facebook page of the fans that made the CD here.



Simone is on the cover of the April issue of Rock Hard France magazine. You can order the magazine following this link. 




Simone also participated in a photoshoot with the wonderful vocalists of Xandria - Dianne van Giersbergen and Stream of Passion - Marcela Bovio who are all promoting their new releases. The three ladies will appear on the upcoming issue of the Dutch Metal magazine Aardschok. 



Another photoshoot project by the wonderful photographer Tim Tronckoe (be sure to check his facebook page! ) united Simone and Sabaton's vocalist Joakim Brodén together. Check previews from the shoot below: 



Several days ago as a part of the TQE promotion there was a live Q&A with Simone and Isaac - you can watch it here: 



There is a new CLEAR vinyl limited to 300 pieces available on Nuclear Blast's shop. The bronze vinyl (also strictly limited) is no longer available on Epica's webshop. A new silver edition vinyl is added but it's not clear whether it's similar to Nuclear Blast's light grey vinyl (already sold out). The golden vinyl limited to 100 pieces from Napalm Records is also sold out. 
Pre-order the clear vinyl from Nuclear Blast. 

A new limited edition red vinyl is available for purchase from large.nl.


Finally, several new promo pics were released recently:
