The symphonic metal masters in Epica are continuing their dominance of the genre with a new single release. The third single off their Omega album, “Rivers” has a new video attached to it. Simone Simons had this to say about the single.
Our third single has arrived! ‘Rivers’ symbolizes the calmness and at the same time the uncertainty in life, the ebb and flow. The calm water represents peace, and a strong river stream means that you have to face challenges and swim against the tide of life.
The album was supposed to kick off a huge tour with support from Apocalyptica and Wheel. The tour is now beginning in Leipzig on January 6th, 2022.
The calm but powerful melodic song is the third single from their album Omega. You can pre-order the album here. It comes in a couple different special edition packages, or you can just order the CD straight up. Here are the various formats the album comes in.
