EPICA - Cross the Divide (Audio with Lyrics)

Dutch symphonic metal band Epica have announced a new studio album to be released in April 2025 titled “Aspiral”. This is the comment of the band: The album title of our 9th studio album is derived from the eponymous bronze statue made by Polish sculptor and painter, Stanisław Szukalski back in 1965. It stands for renewal and inspiration – keywords that were essential to us while creating this album. In Szukalski’s work, every detail is a piece of art on its own and there’s always more to the story than you initially think. For us, this was the perfect analogy for the album: each song stands on its own with a distinctive vibe and meaning, while together they enforce each other into what we believe is our most monumental effort. You’ll soon find out, because the new album will see the light of day on April 11th.
