EPICA Announces New EP Feat. FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, INSOMNIUM & ABORTED Members

Epica will release their new EP The Alchemy Project on November 11. The EP features a ton of guests and two songs featuring the entirety of Fleshgod Apocalypse of Shining (the saxophone one from Norway). You can check out the Epica-meets-Shining single "The Final Lullabye" above alongside a music video directed by Jens De Vos.

"I've been a big fan of Shining since the first time I heard them," said Epica bassist Rob Van Der Loo. "Our intention with 'The Final Lullaby' was to make a mash-up between Epica and Shining so we thought it would be a good idea if I would come up with some riffs that would be typical Shining and they would do the complete opposite."

1. "The Great Tribulation" (feat. Fleshgod Apocalypse)
2. "Wake The World" (feat. Phil Lanzon of Uriah Heep & Tommy Karevik of Kamelot)
3. "The Final Lullaby" (feat. Shining)
4. "Sirens – Of Blood And Water" (feat. Charlotte Wessels & Myrkur)
5. "Death Is Not The End" (feat. Frank Schiphorst of Mayan & Björn Strid of Soilwork)
6. "Human Devastation" (feat. Henri Sattler of God Dethroned & Sven de Caluwé of Aborted)
7. "The Miner" (feat. Asim Searah of Damnation Plan, Niilo Sevänen of Insomnium, and Roel Van Helden of Powerwolf)
