Symphonic metal titans **EPICA** are excited to announce their 9th studio album **Aspiral**. Alongside the announcement, **EPICA** share an epic music video of the new single **'Cross The Divide'**, which you can stream below. 

The album 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 – keywords 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 9th album: each song stands on its own with a distinctive vibe and meaning, while together they enforce each other into a monumental effort.

**Aspiral** will be released on **April 11th** and is now available for pre-order as e**xclusive Boxset**, **limited colored vinyl** and **CD**!
