Dutch symphonic metallers EPICA will release their fifth full-length studio album, "Requiem For The Indifferent", on March 9, 2012 in Europe and four days later in North America via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD was recorded at Gate Studio in Wolfsburg, Germany under the watchful eye of Sascha Paeth.

The artwork for the CD was created by Stephan Heilemann.

Regarding the "Requiem For The Indifferent" album title, the band previously said, "This title refers to the end of an era. Mankind can no longer stick their head in the sand for the things that are happening around us. We are facing many challenges. There is an enormous tension between different religions and cultures, wars, natural disasters and a huge financial crisis, which is getting out of control. More than ever we will need each other to overcome these problems. As we are all connected; the universe, earth, nature, animals and human beings, this period in time will be the prelude to the end for those who still don't want to, or simply won't see it. 'A Requiem For The Indifferent', but also a possibility for a new beginning with great new chances!"

"Storm The Sorrow" is a song from EPICA, which can be streamed in the YouTube clip below.

Arjen Anthony Lucassen (nascido em Den Haag, Zuid Holland, Netherlands, 3 de Abril de 1960) é um produtor, cantor, compositor e músico multi-instrumentista holandês conhecido principalmente por seus álbuns do projeto Ayreon.

Arjen toca uma grande variedade de instrumentos, desde guitarras com distorções à flauta e mellotron. Ele também, ocasionalmente, usa sua voz em suas músicas.
No Ayreon, ele juntou performances de diferente artistas e vocalistas para gravar os álbuns. Isso tornou muito difícil a realização de shows de seus projetos, e por isso Arjen é dificilmente visto em shows, embora já tenha feito turnês com Star One e Stream of Passion.
"Lost in the New Real"  é o segundo álbum solo de Arjen Anthony Lucassen. É primeiro álbum solo desde "Pools of Sorrow ~ Waves of Joy" lançado há 18 anos, antes que ele alcançasse a fama com seu projeto de progressive metal/rock Ayreon. Neste álbum ele canta os vocais principais (com backing vocais de Wilmer Waarbroek) pela primeira vez desde o primeiro álbum, e toca a maioria dos instrumentos, desde guitarras, baixo e teclados. O registro também apresenta o ator holandês Rutger Hauer, famoso ator conterrâneo de Arjen, como o responsável pela narração da história.
Ao anunciar o lançamento deste álbum em 13 junho de 2011 Lucassen afirmou "eu tenho vontade de gravar um álbum solo com apenas eu cantando para cerca de 10 anos [...] minhas últimas tentativas individuais se transformaram em projetos do Ayreon, Star One e Guilt Machine! Mas agora é a hora certa e me sinto muito inspirado!"
Tal como já fez no Ayreon, é um álbum conceitual: ele conta a história de Mr. L (narrado por Lucassen), um personagem do século XXI que foi criopreservado no momento de sua morte clínica por conta de uma doença terminal. O álbum começa como o Sr. L sendo revivido em um futuro distante, quando a tecnologia avançou o suficiente para curar a sua doença.  Mr. L encontra-se em um mundo que mudou drasticamente - a tal ponto que a linha divisória entre o que é real e o que não é não é mais clara.
O Sr. L's (narrado por Rutger Hauer, como Voight-Kampff de Blade Runner) é o conselheiro psicológico, designado para ajudá-lo emocionalmente a se adaptar a este estranho mundo novo. A história acompanha a jornada emocional do personagem principal, o Sr. L's lhe apresenta os aspectos sérios e cômicos do "nova realidade", e desesperadamente tenta decidir se ele pode encontrar um lugar significativo dentro dele.
De acordo com Lucassen a história está indiretamente relacionado com Ayreon, mas é "basicamente uma história separada", embora a arte da capa inclua ao fundo uma visão mais apocalíptica do álbum do Ayreon "Universal Migrator Part 1: The Dream Sequencer". Lucassen afirmou: "Há algumas conexões com a saga Ayreon (eu não pude resistir ...), mas basicamente este é um caso a parte". 
Quanto a sonoridade, o álbum é composto por dois CDs, o primeiro como sendo o "principal do álbum", que é absolutamente sensacional, certamente digno de uma nota máxima, embora com destaques claros para "The New Real", "Where Pigs Fly", "Pink Beatles In A Purple Zeppelin" e "Dr Slumber's Eternity Home".  No entanto, há um segundo disco a considerar. Aqui temos cinco canções originais e outras cinco faixas que são versões com nova roupagem para "Welcome to the Machine"  (Pink Floyd cover), "Veteran of the Psychic Wars"  (Blue Oyster Cult cover), "Battle of Evermore"  (Led Zeppelin cover), "Some Other Time"  (The Alan Parsons Project cover), "I'm the Slime"  (Frank Zappa cover). As versões foram ótimas escolhas de Lucassen e ajudam a manter o alto padrão do disco, mas não impedem de serem ofuscadas pelas composições originais de ambos os discos. É seguro dizer que o disco dois não é tão fácil de entrar como o primeiro, que é uma obra-prima  difícil sair de sua cabeça. Então, para apreciar devidamente o segundo disco, o ouvinte há de dedica-lo uma adequada segunda chance. Destaques do segundo disco seriam "would be Our Imperfect Race", "So Is There No God?", "The Social Recluse" e "The Space Hotel".  Entre as covers, destaque para a explosiva versão de "Welcome to the Machine" do Pink Floyd.
Em suma, "Lost in the New Real" tem uma produção de grande qualidade, as faixas são numerosas, bem trabalhadas, com letras bem escritas e um conceito muito interessante a ser explorado: o futuro da humanidade frente aos avanços da tecnologia e a linha cada vez mais tênue que separa o real do virtual. Oito músicos adicionais foram contratados (um time pequeno, se comparado aos projetos anteriores de Arjen). A criatividade e o talento do artista estão no auge e as músicas valem cada segundo de audição. O disco abre espaço para o progressive, o hard rock, o metal, o folk e o eletrônic, enfim, bastante eclético, como é a marca que sempre definiu o som da genialidade do multi-instrumentista holandês, um dos músicos mais brilhantes da atualidade.


Personnel: Musicians: Arjen Anthony Lucassen (lead vocals ("Mr. L"), guitar, bass, keyboards, other instruments), Rutger Hauer (spoken vocals ("Voight Kampff")),  Wilmer Waarbroek (backing vocals), Ed Warby (drums), Rob Snijders (drums), Ben Mathot (violin),  Maaike Peterse (cello), Jeroen Goossens (flutes), Elvya Dulcimer (hammered dulcimer & female vocals on "The Battle of Evermore"), Gjalt Lucassen (Megaphone voice on "I'm The Slime").
Additional personnel:  Arjen Anthony Lucassen (producing), Claudio Bergamin (cover art)

PHENOMENA released their new album titled "Awakening" on March 23rd, 2012 via Escape Music.

People should learn to expect a little awe and mystery. PHENOMENA take us upon a journey where there is nothing pretty about the protagonists of the story that we shall meet along the way. The subject is good against evil.

The story began in the year 1983, when Tom Galley wrote a couple of short stories with a transcendental background. Backed by record label Bronze, the recordings for the album "Phenomena" started soon which finally hit the stores in 1985. Besides the extra-ordinary concept story both musicianship and the names involved with the project are highlights to mention. Names such as Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH), drum legend Cozy Powell (RAINBOW, WHITESNAKE), Don Airey (DEEP PURPLE), Neil Murray (WHITESNAKE) — the elite of the British hard rock scene — had joined the project. "Phenomena" received high critical acclaim in the press and extremely good sales.

The second PHENOMENA album, "Phenomena II - Dream Runner", was released in 1987 and was welcomed with a similarly warm response. The musicians around the Galley brothers had changed slightly, so that this album in the end featured contributions from Ray Gillen (BADLANDS, BLACK SABBATH), John Wetton (ASIA), Scott Gorham (THIN LIZZY) and Max Bacon (GTR), amongst others.

With new label Parachute involved, in 1991 the time was right for "final part" of the conceptional story; "Phenomena III - Inner Visions". Besides Brian May (QUEEN) and Keith Murrell (AIRRACE), you'll here also find performances by Michael Sturgis (A-HA) and Scott Gorham (THIN LIZZY). "The Complete Works" were released in a triple fold-out digipack by Escape Music.

However, the PHENOMENA concept continued in 2006 under the banner "PsychoFantasy", which strictly follows the traditions of its three predecessors. Besides the concept story background, you will once again will find a whole bunch of amazing artists performing on this record: Tony Martin (BLACK SABBATH), Glenn Hughes (DEEP PURPLE), Keith Murrell (MAMA'S BOYS) and Mel Galley (WHITESNAKE, TRAPEZE).

In September 2010 a new chapter began with a whole host of musicians, and "Blind Faith" was born to explosive effect. With new vocalists like Robin Beck, Terry Brock (STRANGEWAYS) and Rob Moratti (SAGA), a whole new world was unveiled and the concept became so fresh again. The rock audience once more were thrilled to hear the latest in this timeless story.

In 2012 we will all hear the new album "Awakening", an album chock-full of new ideas and featuring James Christian (HOUSE OF LORDS), Lee Small (SHY) and Toby Hitchcock (PRIDE OF LIONS) as well as familiar faces like Rob Moratti, Terry Brock and Mike DiMeo. Powerful songs executed by some of the finest rock musicians make this a hugely enjoyable album and it boasts a fine production from Tom Galley and Martin Kronlund. Here you will find straight-ahead rockers with powerful melodies along with up-tempo ballads and beautiful choruses.
