Epica - Working On New Music

In recent interview Epica singer Simone Simons has confirmed to Canada's The Metal Voice that she and her bandmates have been working on new material during the coronavirus pandemic. "We have new music that will be released later this year," she said "And it's not an Epica album; it's not your typical Epica epicness. It's something we've never done before. So definitely also worth the anticipation. But it will be released early winter or something like that."

She continued: "We're working on the artwork at the moment. We have singles ready. I already shot a video for one of the songs… We had a couple of things on our list that we wanted to try, and it also kind of came to fruition during the pandemic.

"It's a busy year for Epica. We've been busy during the pandemic with non-touring things, but now we had so many festivals and working behind the scenes on this, we like to call it 'secret project.'"
