ICYMI Epica have announced their ninth studio album, Aspiral, is scheduled to arrive on April 11. Inspired by Stanisław Szukalski’s 1965 bronze sculpture of the same name, the album represents renewal and inspiration.
Recorded at Sandlane Studios and produced by Joost van den Broek, Aspiral features eleven tracks and cover art by Hedi Xandt (Rammstein, Ghost, Parkway Drive). Special editions include the Symphonic Synergy live Blu-ray and audio recordings from their 2024 Amsterdam performance with an orchestra and choir. To celebrate the album reveal, the group dropped a Kunststoff-directed-video for their latest single, “Cross The Divide.”
