Hi there! It's been a while since my last blog. We are right in the middle of promoting the new album, rehearsing the new songs, having listening sessions, Try Out shows and so much more. The festival season has come to an end and our European tour is coming closer by the day! On the 10th of October Epica will be playing at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. We will present our new album which will be for sale at the concert even though it is officially released on the 16th of October. Besides promoting Epica I've also had some time to go see the musical 'Piaf' with my mother. She is a huge musical fan and is going next week too 'Hairspray' with my sister. Oliver and me went to the 'Efteling' and were hanging upside down in the Python. We had loads of fun and ate a frikandel. Right now my suitcase is waiting for me to be re-packed because tonight Mark and I will go to Amsterdam to promote the new album. Hopefully there is some time left for some sightseeing and visiting some friends. Hope to see you on the road! Love, Simone
