Simone Simons comments: “Photo- and video shoots are a part of the creative process that I always look forward to very much. It is a very import part to complete every album where the visual pieces of the puzzle come together.”
EPICA‘s first new music is scheduled for release this fall through Nuclear Blast Records. In support of this, the band will comprehensively tour Europe during the rescheduled ‘Epic Apocalypse’ co-headline tour with APOCALYPTICAand support act WHEEL.
