Dutch Symphonic metal band EPICA will release their new album ‘Ωmega’ on February 26^th through Nuclear Blast. Today the band reveals a music video for an acoustic version of the title track, named ‘Omegacoustic’.

“It’s always a lot of fun to work on acoustic versions of new songs. For this one, I stripped down the title song of our upcoming album and wanted to give it an uplifting country vibe. Also, it’s the first time we are releasing an acoustic version before the actual album version! I absolutely can’t wait for you to discover the original. Hang on, the 26th is coming!”, comments guitarist Isaac Delahaye.

Dutch symphonic metal giants EPICA recently announced the release of their new album “Omega”, out on February 26th 2021 via Nuclear Blast. “Omega” is the band’s first studio album in five years. Recently, the band have released a music video for their mesmerizing third single, the ballad ‘Rivers’ and today, they reveal their 13th vlog episode, discussing the single more in-depth.

Simone Simons comments: “‘Rivers’ is written by Rob van der Loo. A beautiful, intimate ballad that I immediately felt a connection with. Writing the lyrics for ‘Rivers’ went really fast. A fun fact is that the working title was ‘Rivers’ and there was no other name that fit the song better. Normally we change the working titles of the songs, but not in this case. The video recordings took place in Esslingen, Germany. Jens de Vos and I spent one day in the studio for the video recordings. It was a messy shoot with all the glitter and water, but the result is worth it!`“

Dutch symphonic metal giants EPICA recently announced the release of their new album “Omega”, out on February 26th 2021 via Nuclear Blast. “Omega” is the band’s first studio album in five years. Last month, EPICA also revealed the first single and video clip from the album, titled ‘Abyss Of Time’, which was viewed on YouTube over a million times within its first week. Today, the band reveal a video for an acoustic version of that single.

Keyboarder Coen Janssen comments: “For the Omega release we rewrote 4 songs into acoustic versions. This is our way of relaxing after a period of working hard and intense on heavy music. Being able to wind down and see if the songs still ‘work’ without all the bombast feels like coming home. It also enables us to explore other musical styles than metal and challenges us to be creative in a different way than we are used to. Enjoy our first single “Abyss of Time” as if it was played in an Irish Pub while enjoying a nice pint with all your friends!!”
