Symphonic metal titans EPICA unveil a live version of their track ‘Eye Of The Storm’, taken from their latest studio record Aspiral. This version, titled ‘Eye Of The Storm (Live At The Ziggo Dome)‘, was recorded last month at the band’s biggest headline show to date – a sold-out night at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome in front of 10,000 fans. The track arrives just as EPICA kick-off the second leg of ‘The Arcane Dimensions Tour‘ with Amaranthe and former DELAIN lead singer Charlotte Wessels.

Last December EPICA released a new single, “Avatar – The Final Incarnation”, a track that deals with the final incarnation (Avatar) to rid the world of unrighteousness and restore truth and purity. The single is accompanied by a visualizer featuring artwork taken directly from the band’s forthcoming EPICA Oracle Card Set, launching worldwide on January 7.
Watch “Avatar – The Final Incarnation” below.
Also watch the previously “Fight To Survive – The Overview Effect”, released “T.I.M.E.”, “Cross The Divide”, “Arcana” (directed by Remko Tielemans) and “The Ghost In Me (Danse Macabre)” below.
The LP title is derived from the eponymous bronze sculpture made by Polish sculptor and painter Stanisław Szukalski back in 1965 and stands for renewal and inspiration — key words that define EPICA in 2025. In Szukalski’s work every detail is a piece of art in its own right, and there’s always more to the story than you initially think. The band saw this as the perfect analogy for the creation of this ninth album: each song stands on its own with a distinctive vibe and meaning, while together they enforce each other into a monumental effort.
The album, featuring stunning cover artwork by Hedi Xandt (RAMMSTEIN, GHOST, PARKWAY DRIVE),is now available for pre-order. The special editions even include the Blu-ray and audio recordings of the full monumental “Symphonic Synergy” performance in Amsterdam that the band recorded in 2024 with an orchestra and choir.
Recorded once again at Sandlane Studios and expertly mixed and produced by Joost Van Den Broek, “Aspiral” boasts 11 new tracks:
