EPICA's Next Album Will Be Band's 'Most Epic' Release So Far

In a recent interview with Spain's Mariskal Rock, EPICA singer Simone Simons spoke about the progress of the recording sessions for the follow-up to 2021's "Omega" album. She said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "I think that there should be a single by the end of the summer-ish. That's that's our plan. And the album should be released [in] 2025.

"I just wrote with Mark [Jansen, guitar] and Rob [Van Der Loo, bass] also yesterday that I'm so happy with the songs, I'm so proud how everything turned out and it's gonna be another amazing EPICA album.

"We added a couple of new elements, but also went back to the roots, the old EPICA," she continued. "And yeah, I just can't wait for people to hear this.

"I loved 'Omega' and we toured so much with 'Omega' and had wonderful experiences, but then when you reach the end of a touring cycle, you start to get itchy and feel, 'Okay, now it's time to do the new album. Can we do it as good or maybe even better than the last album?' That's always the thing we strive for, ways to renew ourselves a little bit. And we feel a very strong spiritual connection also that it's our ninth album. So there's gonna be themes around the symbolic meaning of nine, the number nine."

Elaborating on the musical direction of EPICA's next album, Simone said: "The songs are heavy. There's a beautiful ballad, a very cinematic song, very uptempo, very doomy, melancholic and amazing, amazing power riffs. It's the most epic EPICA, I think, so far. Yeah, I think so. I mean, I'm feeling it. I'm very happy with it. I'm proud of it. And they are going to start recording the orchestra now next week. They're flying to Prague; that's where we record the orchestra. And I will be recording my final vocals as well."

In November 2022, EPICA released "The Alchemy Project" through Atomic Fire Records. The EP was co-written and performed with diverse guests ranging from extremists like FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, Niilo Sevänen (INSOMNIUM) and Björn "Speed" Strid (SOILWORK) along with melodic masters like Tommy Karevik (KAMELOT),keyboard legend Phil Lanzon (URIAH HEEP) and Roel Van Helden (POWERWOLF) to a once-in-a-lifetime song with Simons, Charlotte Wessels and Myrkur.

Just one day after the release of its anniversary reissues "We Still Take You With Us" and "Live At Paradiso", EPICA celebrated 20 years of existence live in September 2022 at 013 in Tilburg, Netherlands, the same place where they played their first show (supporting ANATHEMA) back in 2002.

EPICA was formed by Jansen after leaving AFTER FOREVER in 2002, and the band quickly gained attention outside their home country, taking big steps towards becoming the leading symphonic metal superpower they have long proven to be. After their ambitious debut "The Phantom Agony" (2002) and the surprisingly eclectic sophomore work "Consign To Oblivion" (2005),the road took them to new heights via their first concept masterpiece "The Divine Conspiracy" (2007) and their global breakthrough "Design Your Universe" (2009). 2012's opus "Requiem For The Indifferent", 2014's bedazzling "The Quantum Enigma" and "The Holographic Principle" (2016),cemented their reputation as not only one of the hardest-working metal bands in the business but also as one of the best. With "Omega", the final part of the metaphysical trilogy they began with "The Quantum Enigma", they reclaimed the throne without so much as the blink of an eye, amassing three million-plus streams during the first week of the album's release.

Отлично, будем блевать всем дарксайдом в следующем году, а то я голову ломал, че обсуждать будем, нового альбома Металлики явно не будет.

Damien

Для полноты "эпичности" осталось заключить контракт с Epic Records.

Вашингтон Ирвинг

Damien, альбом будет доступен для прослушивания только через Epic Games Store

Орион

Так, ну раз уж пошёл эпический разговор про эпики, то на предстоящем эпическом альбоме Эпики должен быть кавер на Faith No More - Epic. Это будет не только эпично, но и Эпично.

Орион, Название альбома - Epicus Symphonicus Metallicus

6 авг 2024

Вашингтон Ирвинг, Epicus Symphonepicus Metalepicus Epicalypse.

Орион, Вот уж не уверен, что Эпика справится с этим кавером на все 100% - довольно непростая композиция, особенно партии ударных.

Damien, охеренная песня, да как и весь альбом

6 авг 2024

Damien

Вашингтон Ирвинг, Да уж, особенно лично для меня инструментал "Марсианский дятел" - уххх!!!

6 авг 2024

Орион

Damien, ты прав. Если они попробуют, и получится не очень, то неудачную попытку всегда можно будет назвать "собственным прочтением".

Consign to Oblivion, как по мне, у них был вершиной, с 2012 года ничего не нравится((

На Омеге было несколько очень крепких треков.
Надеюсь, их на 20+ год жизни группы научит кто-нибудь ножницами пользоваться, чтобы лишнее убрать. Хотя та же Метла этому не научилась.
