Tonight Harry Styles will release Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally. In some of the earlier interviews pegged to the new album cycle, Styles mentioned the music was inspired in part by getting to go out dancing and be an audience member at shows himself after his latest tour wrapped up. One such artist who Styles claimed influenced him was LCD Soundsystem. Now Styles has revealed that Radiohead’s hotly-anticipated 2025 residency also made a big creative impact on him.

Symphonic metal titans Epica are delighted to unveil an electrifying live version of their track “Eye Of The Storm”, taken from their critically acclaimed, latest studio record Aspiral. This powerful 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 kicks-off the second leg of The Arcane Dimensions Tour with Amaranthe and Charlotte Wessels.

The Arcane Dimensions European Tour with Amaranthe and Charlotte Wessels’ The Obsession, brings three of the genre’s most dynamic forces together for an unforgettable live experience.

The journey of growth follows a spiral, continuously widening and deepening with every cycle. By sticking to this spiritual principle, symphonic metal innovators Epica have reinvented themselves on their ninth effort Aspiral, releasing a studio album that shows a band brimming with a newfound joy in their own skin – standing united as a team, where every band member brought inspiration, ideas and years of songwriting experience to the table.

Aspiral bears testimony to this unity, but the band’s steep ascent within the past years was far from coincidental and required lots of hard work and combination of things happening after the release of their latest album Omega in the midst of a raging pandemic. After walking several steps off their usual path with their EP The Alchemy Project which saw them collaborating with artists such as Myrkur, Fleshgod Apocalypse or Uriah Heep, the band played a massive world tour and got invited by a certain band called Metallica for several dates, and played 4 sold out “Symphonic Synergy” shows with a massive orchestra and choir.

After diving deep into hypothetical theories, metaphysical mysticism and themes that were touching the fabric of our existence in the infinity of the universe, Epica’s 9th studio effort Aspiral centers on the work of sculptor Stanisław Szukalski. During the first Covid lockdown, bassist Rob van der Loo saw the documentary Struggle – The Life And Lost Art Of Stanislav Szukalski and felt so inspired by his work that he wanted to write soundtracks for some of his sculptures, simply because each and every detail in his works are artworks on their own and their stories go very deep. And this is where the path started. Aspiral was born as an instrumental soundtrack to this world, an initially separate project that over time metamorphosed into the new Epica record.

The title comes from a bronze statue Szukalski did in 1965. If you take a close look, you can see snails rebuilding elements out of the mud in cycles and this eventually leads to civilization and a woman reaching out to the sun. It stands for renewal and inspiration – keywords that define Epica now.

For more than 20 years now, Epica have been standing tall. And while already their last efforts clearly showcased their commitment to the game, it is Aspiral that truly distills the very heart of their trademark sound.
