Currently the band is putting finishing touches to their yet untitled album which is scheduled for a release in August/September this year. It was recorded again at the Gate Studio with renowned producer Sascha Paeth.
Formed by guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Mark Jansen (ex-After Forever) in 2002, Epica have so far released three albums including a full-length soundtrack in the vein of Hollywood composers Hans Zimmer and Danny Elfman.
The Dutch musicians have already played in 24 countries all over the world, including tours in Europe, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and the USA.
Epica will embark on a North American headlining tour in September. Support at the shows will come from the Austrian/American \'epic metal\' band Visions Of Atlantis.
