TADAA!!

Here we are with the first official teaser of the upcoming album Requiem for the Indifferent, which will be released by Nuclear Blast on March 9th (March 13th in the US). This time however we're doing it like no one has done before, by weekly releasing an extra layer of music, giving our fans a little more insight in the complexity and the different aspects of EPICA's music.
As this is the first video in the series, you'll only hear Arien's drums. However, the next 7 weeks we will add layer by layer, and make the sample longer and longer. Through these videos we will also weekly release backstage pictures, pieces of the album artwork, tour updates, etc, to make the wait for the album just a little bit more bearable! So maybe it is a good thing to subscribe yourself to the official EPICA YouTube channel, and be sure you hear the new layer of music as soon as we post it there.

All samples are taken from the opening track Monopoly on Truth.

As you know Epica is about to release their 5th album Requiem for the Indifferent on the 9th of March.
