Epica releases new song “Avatar – The Final Incarnation” on KNAC.COM
EPICA, the symphonic metal band, has just released a new single titled ‘Avatar – The Final Incarnation – ‘ in preparation for their upcoming European tour. This explosive track delves into the concept of the final avatar, Avatar, whose mission is to purify the world of unrighteousness and restore truth and purity. The band has also unveiled a visually stunning visualizer for the single, featuring artwork from their upcoming EPICA Oracle Card Set, set to launch globally on January 7th.
The inspiration behind the ‘Avatar – The Final Incarnation – ‘ single draws from Hindu philosophy, particularly the concept of Kalki as the final avatar who brings balance and liberation at the end of an era. Mark Jansen explained that this idea of breaking cycles through self-realization and inner transformation resonates deeply with him. The track serves as a channel for this journey towards liberation, embodying a message of power and universality.
Simone Simons expressed her excitement for the European tour, emphasizing the band’s eagerness to connect with their fans through live performances. The new single promises to be a dynamic addition to their setlist as they embark on ‘The Arcane Dimensions‘ European Tour alongside Amaranthe and Charlotte Wessels’ The Obsession. This tour promises an unforgettable experience for fans of the genre.
In addition to the new single, EPICA will be releasing the ‘Aspiral Oracle’ on January 7th, a deluxe boxset featuring a 12-card oracle deck, a handbook with detailed rules, and an incense holder, all designed by Hedi Xandt, known for his work on Aspiral. This boxset not only offers a deeper understanding of the meanings behind EPICA’s songs but also serves as a tool for personal guidance and introspection.
