EPICA recorded a new song called “This Is The Time” that shows the band from a whole new, more calm and balladesque side. This song and the profit of the income goes out to the WWF organization, who will use it for projects in the Amazon. Furthermore EPICA acquired more members for the organization and handed out info sheets at their merch booth!

Commented EPICA: “The awareness that we should be more careful with the earth, increases every day. We should also try to live in closer harmony with nature. Epica is lyric-wise strongly connected to these themes and would like to devote themselves to this cause for a better world!“

Commented WWF/ Jörgen van Beem: „WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of our planet's natural environment, and build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature. A planet where people and nature can thrive together, in a stable environment, now, and for generations to come. For more than 40 years, WWF has been at the forefront in protecting the Amazon and are therefore enthusiastic that Epica decided to raise funds for the Brazilian forest programs of WWF, which ensure conservation and sustainable development throughout the world's largest rainforest.'

We are all part of nature, so why don't we value it more?
