Epica have released a track video for "The Great Tribulation", featured on the band's forthcoming collaborative mini-album, The Alchemy Project, out November 11. "The Great Tribulation" was co-written and performed with symphonic tech death pioneers, Fleshgod Apocalypse. Find the track video below.
Epica previously stated: "The cat is finally out of the bag: On November 11, we’re releasing seven brand new songs to conclude our 20th Anniversary year! This mini-album, named The Alchemy Project, is a very diverse release, with each track taking on the flavour of the internationally renowned guest musician(s) with whom each was written and recorded.
This resulted in a release that challenges and expands on what Epica is, while maintaining our trademark sound. Beyond the symphonic hymns you’re used to, you’ll also find progressive melodic death moments, saxophone solos, haunting lullabies with a trio of female voices - and even the heaviest death metal track we’ve ever recorded!
Graced by vivid and witty artwork by graphic wizard, Heilemania, the release is now available forpre-order as digipak CD, LP, or digitally. Of course, you can also grab the latest merch bundles and an exclusive vinyl colour, which is only available in our band shop."
