Surprise!

We just dropped “Rise Again” our ‘new’ song with Epica’s incredible frontwoman Simone Simons! Why is ‘new’ in quotes you ask? Because this song features Simone singing over “Rise”, a track from Cell-0!

Eicca says: “It was so great to make Rise Again with Simone Simons! When we were putting the Epic Apocalypse-tour together we were thinking of making this collaboration with Epica even deeper by releasing a song together. Rise from Cell-0 album had the beauty and feel which we felt could fit perfectly for Simone’s unique voice. We are so happy for the song and really excited about this tour with Epica as it will be something really special and amazing!!!”

The next reprise on our Classic Metal Metal Classic EP is Beethoven’s 5^th, and it comes out on Friday!

We’ve done parts of this piece live before, so we are really excited to finally be bringing it to you properly with this interpretation. It’s a very exciting addition to the catalog, and a piece we know some of you have been clamoring for years.

The beginning of the fifth symphony by Beethoven is one of the most iconic classical themes ever written. The process of rewriting and transforming it into a new perspective was a challenging but a really joyful ride. Beethoven was one of the first “metal-heads” in classical music which made it even more enjoyable to work out his theme with more modern sound and approach.

We are so excited to share out new song, “Bolero”! It’s our take on the Maurice Ravel classic that has inspired so many over the years. This has been a true labor of love, we hope you fall in love with the peace as we did.

You can listen and watch the accompanying video directed by Jani Vuorialho here: https://apocalyptica.ffm.to/bolero

Eicca says:
“We had a long list of great classical pieces that we could propably turn into Apocalyptica tracks. But you never know before you work on an idea and see whether it starts to grow and take on a life of its own. When making “covers” we want to feel that we are bringing in something cool, new and original to the piece. Making a proper version means that you need to “re-compose ” the music, absorb and then reinterpret it in a new and fresh way.

Bolero had the musical elements required for a remake, haunting melody and the great rhythmic patterns. But since we are Apocalyptica, we wanted to bring the fury of the music into 2022, with more of an edge and of course, more metal!!!”

As you may have guessed, this single is the first of three instrumental classical tracks we are releasing on a brand new EP entitled “Metal Classic, Classic Metal”. We’re extremely excited about this project and we hope you wind up loving it as much as we do!

Happy Listening!
