Consign to Oblivion is the second studio album by Dutch symphonic metal titans Epica, originally released in 2005. In 2023, Nuclear Blast issued a 20th Anniversary Edition, fully remastered and expanded across 2LPs, pressed in Europe and presented in a gatefold sleeve.
 
This edition includes the complete original album on Sides A–C, plus bonus orchestral versions and remixes on Side D, making it the most comprehensive and collector‑focused vinyl release of the album to date. The remaster enhances the album’s cinematic orchestration, choral arrangements, and Simone Simons’ soaring vocals while preserving the dramatic, Mayan‑mythology‑inspired concept that defines the record.
 
Why This Record Is in the Crimson Vinyl Collection
 
Crimson Vinyl stocked this edition because it’s the definitive modern pressing of one of Epica’s most important albums — a cornerstone of 2000s symphonic metal. The 20th Anniversary remaster, expanded tracklist, and premium 2LP presentation make it a must‑have for collectors who value high‑quality reissues with archival depth.
 
It fits perfectly into our catalogue of symphonic metal, European imports, and deluxe anniversary editions.
