Aspiral (CD)
Epica
Amoeba Review
The Dutch symphonic metal band Epica leans into the drama and atmospherics to tremendous effect on their ninth studio album, Aspiral. The single "T.I.M.E." is cinematic and thunderous with singer Simone Simons' gorgeous vocals rising angelically over it all. "Cross The Divide" picks up the energy, surging ahead with those signature double kick drums and fist pump-inducing guitar. These are anthemic, thrilling songs that just might make your morning commute feel like a fantasy adventure.
