Epica take you on a journey of self-discovery

With ‘T.I.M.E.’, Epica are releasing the third single from their upcoming album Aspiral, which will be released on 11 April. The song goes beyond classic symphonic metal and reaches deep into the psychological and spiritual bag of tricks: The abbreviation stands for transformation, integration, metamorphosis and evolution - four phases that, according to the band, are necessary for the destruction of one's own ego and personal growth.

The matching music video, directed by Dave Letelier, reinforces the dark atmosphere of the song and visually emphasises the haunting lyrics.

The release of Aspiral also marks the start of a new tour chapter for Epica. The album cycle kicks off on 12 April with an already sold-out ‘Epica Experience’ event in Paris. The band will then head to North America for a few shows before welcoming their Mexican fans live and embarking on a major European tour in early 2026.
