Epica release new song ‘The Great Tribulation’

EPICA have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled The Great Tribulation, is taken from the Dutch symphonic metal band’s upcoming new EP, The Alchemy Project, which is scheduled to be released in November this year. The new song features a guest appearance from Italian technical/symphonic death metallers FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE.

Speaking about the new song, guitarist Mark Jansen says, “we know the guys and girl from FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE already for quite a long time and toured together. There’s a lot of mutual respect for each other’s music, so when we approached them to work together on a track, they were right away enthusiastic. I did send them some very basic ideas I had for two songs, so they could pick what they liked the most. They ended up using all the ideas and combining them into one song. That was already very promising. From there on, we organised several sessions where we worked on the song together. The process was very smooth and very inspiring. I think the result is a perfect blend between both bands!”
