Attack On Titan. The release, which was only available in Japan, featured metal versions of the theme songs from the highly successful manga series with 70 Million copies in print turned worldwide aired anime "Attack On Titan". Today, the band announced the EP will be available outside Japan on July 20th via Nuclear Blast Records. EPICA VS. Attack On Titan was recorded during the summer of July of 2017 at Sandlane Recording Facilities by Joost van den Broek. The original songs, which were influenced by the music of EPICA, were composed by Revo of popular Japanese band LINKED HORIZON. For the EP, 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. EPICA VS Attack On Titan Songs.Tracklist 1.

On to battle Here we are the hunters Red as fire Crimson Bow and Arrow Waiting for the storm won't help you Just the will to fight can change you Clean your weapons, blow the dust off Fear and prayers will never save us We can't hide our pride behind fear We will not let them be this near In the end our strength unites us Just the will to fight will save us No, we will never ever fail We stand up and we fight for the moment of the truth Stand up and fight for their demise We won't surrender Day and night dividing the legions Ignorance will show its weakness Lasting peace an abandoned illusion Blinded by trust in a twilight zone Day and night disguising their secrets Ignorance will kill the fearless Offerings of reckless courage Freedom for us all On to battle Here we are the hunters Red as fire Fear the bow The humility of imprisonment Fight with crimson bow and arrow Far away from the solemn castle walls Jäger's hunting prey to death now Diving into the instincts of the night Red is piercing through the twilight Soldiers with their wings of freedom will attack Free the unrelenting slaves right now Right now! Not knowing the names of our Broken trees and the trampled flowers The fallen bird awaits the breeze No one will guide you Everlasting calm of the herds It is but a vast illusion Failing freedom of our dying wolves Marks the era of confusion Praying won't help Freedom and our way of life These are but a vast illusion Fight for your land When the darkness hits our crying wolves It marks the era of conclusion "Those who only complain about their helplessness will not change a thing. The boy will pick up the black sword. Hate and anger are a two-edged blade And soon it will show its teeth." All that ends this brutal game is not the weapon nor the skill. Reach out for the desire and awaken your will to kill Go and free your mind. Immerse yourself in unstoppable killer instinct. Bring back the hope, illuminate the darkness Stand up and fight for their demise We won't surrender now Enthrone the evil in disguise You can't defend her Day and night dividing the legions Ignorance will show its weakness Lasting peace an abandoned illusion Blinded by trust in a twilight zone Day and night disguising their secrets Ignorance will kill the fearless Offerings of reckless courage Freedom for us all On to battle Here we are the hunters Red as fire Crimson Bow and Arrow On the battle Here we die as heroes Red as fire Hearts will bleed to death
