Epica have released the official video for their new single, ‘Arcana’, heralding a new chapter in their two-decade history as a band. This is the band’s first new release since their chart-topping album, Omega, and their collaborative EP, The Alchemy Project, and the first taste of their new studio album, due out in 2025.
“Arcana guides you through the universal stages of spiritual evolution in life. It opens the way to higher consciousness and spiritual self-awareness,” the band comments. “Writing this song was a spontaneous endeavor, so it came together quickly, which seemed so natural that it wrote itself. The music contains classic Epica elements, but has some vibes that may remind you of 80s alternative rock or modern metal.”

The single is now available on all streaming platforms. It also includes “The Ghost in Me“, a special collaboration with the Netherlands’ most popular theme park, the ‘Efteling’.
The song has already made its live debut at the band’s monumental “Symphonic Synergy” shows in Amsterdam in September, and fans in Latin America will have the chance to be the next to hear it live at two shows that Epica will perform exclusively with a full orchestra and choir.
