A 10 "vinyl single was released to join Epica and Metropole Orkest, orchestra of jazz, pop, world music and soundtracks from the Netherlands.
Simone Simmons presents in this way the new song "Beyond The Matrix - The Battle":
Here is our lyric video for "Beyond The Matrix - The Battle". Get ready to sail in a sea of pure tranquility along with Epica and Metropole Orkest
The collaboration originated in 2017, when Epica won a contest to collaborate on a theme with Metropole Orkest (Grammy winners who have shared the stage with artists of the stature of Ella Fitzgerald).
However, due to Epica's busy schedule, this collaboration has not been possible until now. The subject has the participation of Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon), who brings a guitar solo.
