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.'"

The band's statement about line up changes: ''As you might've noticed, things have been slow in the Malokarpatan camp over the last year or two. There were various reasons for that, but we never stopped being active creatively. Our drummer Miroslav has decided to take a long break from active playing and we wish him the best in his other activities, being thankful for the amazing work he did for us over the years.

"The wheels have to keep on turning, so please welcome our new drummer and longtime friend Axel Johansson from Sweden, whom you might know from many other bands such as Initiation, Chevalier, Flamekeeper or Brash. We are already working with him on a new song that should be released as a split with our Brazilian brothers Necromante at some point in the future.

"The plan is also to finally start the sessions for our forthcoming 4th album during this autumn if all goes well. There are no live plans because of the band now being based in two countries, but you will definitely hear new music from us!''
