Ever further, ever higher: In their 20 years of existence, EPICA have never shied away from challenges, weathered every storm and propelled the symphonic metal genre to heights no one dared believe.
With a subtle and surprisingly humorous artwork by Heilemania, EPICA embark on a journey through seven extraordinary new songs. Along with various select guests – from extremists like Fleshgod Apocalypse, Niilo Sevänen (Insomnium) and Björn ?Speed? Strid (Soilwork) to melodic masters like Tommy Karevik (Kamelot), keyboard legend Phil Lanzon (Uriah Heep) or Roel van Helden (Powerwolf) to a unique one
Song with Simone Simons, Charlotte Wessels and Myrkur – once again EPICA have outdone themselves. The result is an amazing release that even surpasses the usual range of an EPICA record: “The Great Tribulation” becomes even heavier and more massive with Fleshgod Apocalypse, the Rainbow-like epic “Wake The World” features Phil Lanzon’s virtuoso keyboard playing and Tommy Karevik’s sublime voice, while “Sirens – Of Blood And Water” brings together for the first time the outstanding, otherworldly singing talent of Simone Simons, Charlotte Wessels and Myrkur. A new
classic of the symphonic metal genre is born.
