EPICA played the first show as the support act for METALLICA earlier this week (Wednesday, May 17) at Stade De France in Paris, France. Fan-filmed video of the concert can be seen below. EPICA was invited to replace Five Finger Death Punch for two shows, whose singer Ivan Moody is recovering from a back hernia surgery. On top of the Paris show, EPICA will also support METALLICA in Hamburg, on May 28th.
