The reunion of two strong names in symphonic metal, gave birth to a joint tour called “The Epic Apocalypse Tour”. The Finnish Apocalyptica and the Dutch Epica were accompanied by the progressive metal of Wheel, also from Finland.

Thirty minutes were enough to make us believe that we want to see Wheel again for a little longer. We look forward to their return to showcase their new work to be released this autumn on InsideOutMusic. Superb performers James Lascelles (Vocals/Guitar), Santeri Saksala (Drums), Aki ‘Conan’ Virta (Bass) and Jussi Turunen (Lead Guitar) paraded aggressive and melodic sounds in a short time, the crowd seemed already familiar with the band’s name, showing up early for them.

Co-headliners on this tour, the Dutch band Epica transmit a joyful and sympathetic live performance, the beauty of Simone Simons leaves no one indifferent and combined with her extremely high vocal skills, the mezzo-soprano captivates everyone. A powerful performance showcasing the band’s many successes is welcomed with open arms by the band’s devoted fans.

In the middle of a dark atmosphere on stage, 3 cellists and a drummer take the stage, and this is how Apocalyptica initially presents themselves, who for two songs have returned to a more instrumental past, later joined by the vocalist Franky Perez. During the fantastic and energetic performance there was also a special moment when Simon Simons joined them on stage.

A dreamy night with fantastic and magical performers.
