Epica - Amaranthe - Arcane Dimensions Tour / Glasgow

Whilst Epica are possibly slowing down in terms of output quantity, their first studio album since 2021’s Omega shows no signs of a reduction in quality.

Stretched over an hour, the 11 songs on offer here provide a new direction and follow the conclusion of the band’s metaphysical trilogy that spanned The Quantum Enigma and ended with Omega. 

Drawing the title of their latest work from Stanisław Szukalski’s eponymous statue made in 1965, Epica have embarked on a period of what they describe as renewal and inspiration – something essential in the creation of the release. With each song able to stand individually whilst linking neatly into the overall collective, it’s Epica’s belief that this is their “most monumental effort.”

In support of their new album, Aspiral, EPICA have announced multiple tours worldwide. The cycle will kick off in Paris on April 12th at a sold-out EPICA experience before the band is heading to North America for three showcase appearances and continuing with a Mexican tour.
