Epica have released a video for "Sirens - Of Blood And Water" feat. Charlotte Wessels & Myrkur, featured on the band's collaborative mini-album, The Alchemy Project, out today. Watch the 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 can be ordered here as digipak CD, LP, or digitally.
