Epica vs Attack on Titan Songs is the second EP by the Dutch symphonic metal band Epica, featuring covers of songs based off the anime Attack on Titan. The EP arranges selected songs originally written and composed by Revo of the Japanese band Linked Horizon with Epica's flair for heavy and massive-sounding songs with a classical motif. It was released on December 20, 2017 originally in Japan, and was released worldwide on July 20, 2018.[8]
Background
In April 2017, Epica held a concert in Tokyo, Japan. After the concert, Revo, the leader of Linked Horizon who is also an Epica fan, went to their dressing room and asked them to make English-language covers for his songs.[9] The band accepted his proposal then started the recording process in the summer of 2017 at Sandlane Recording Facilities studio. The tracks were adapted by Epica and produced by Joost van den Broek. The choir arrangements and scoring were completed by keyboardist Coen Janssen who also handled the orchestral arrangements with Joost van den Broek.[10][11][12]
