Epica launch the ballad, “Rivers” – third single from upcoming album, “Ωmega”

Dutch symphonic metal giants Epica recently announced the release of their new album “Omega”, out on February 26th 2021 via Nuclear Blast.

“Omega” is the band’s first studio album in five years. Today, the band release a music video for their mesmerizing third single, the ballad ‘Rivers’.

Simone Simons says “Our third single has arrived! ‘Rivers’ symbolizes the calmness and, at the same time, the uncertainty in life, the ebb and flow. The calm water represents peace, and a strong river stream means that you have to face challenges and swim against the tide of life.”

The upcoming Epic Apocalypse Tour featuring Dutch Symphonic titans Epica and Finnish Cello masters Apocalyptica and support from prog metallers Wheel has been postponed to beginning of 2022 due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. The tour will kick off on 6th January 2022 in Leipzig and the bands will perform all over Europe.
