EPICA - New Album Title Revealed
December 1, 2011, 12 years ago
Dutch symphonic rockers EPICA recently completed recordings for their new album. Producer Sascha Paeth mixed the album at Gate Studios in Wolfsburg, Germany.
Epica have now revealed that the album, to be released via Nuclear Blast on March 9th, 2012, will be titled Requiem For The Indifferent.
Says the band: "This title refers to the end of an era. Mankind can no longer stick their head in the sand for the things that are happening around us. We are facing many challenges. There is an enormous tension between different religions and cultures, wars, natural disasters and a huge financial crisis, which is getting out of control. More than ever we will need each other to overcome these problems. As we are all connected; the universe, earth, nature, animals and human beings, this period in time will be the prelude to the end for those who still don't want to, or simply won't see it. A Requiem For The Indifferent but also a possibility for a new beginning with great new chances!"
Epica will present this album to the public on March 16th at 013 in Tilburg, Netherlands. Tickets are still available but are going fast.
As previously reported, tickets for Epica's first show of 2012, taking place at Metropool in Hengelo, Netherlands, are now on sale here. REVAMP, featuring ex-AFTER FOREVER singer Floor Jansen, have been confirmed as support for the gig.
