Coen Janssen comments: "I am so happy and proud to finally have a real children’s choir on our album. This sound is one you cannot get anywhere else and it fits perfectly in our cinematic music. The 60 kids did a great job after preparing the music for two months! I am really proud of the result and can’t wait for everyone to hear it! To have my own kids sing in the choir as well makes me even more proud ;) Enjoy!"
EPICA first new music is scheduled for release this fall through Nuclear Blast Records. In support of this album the band will comprehensively tour Europe during the rescheduled ‘Epic Apocalypse’ co-headline tour with APOCALYPTICA and support-act WHEEL.
