The Finnish four piece Apocalyptica announce the release of their new song Rise Again which features Simone Simons of Epica on vocals. Rise Again is a new version of Apocalyptica’s instrumental track Rise, taken from their most recent album Cell-0.
Eicca Toppinen from Apocalyptica on Rise Again: “It was so great to make Rise Again with Simone Simons! When we were putting the Epic Apocalypse tour together, we were thinking of making this collaboration with Epica even deeper by releasing a song together. Rise from our Cell-0 album had the beauty and feel which we felt could fit perfectly for Simone’s unique voice. We are so happy about the song and really excited about this tour with Epica as it will be something really special and amazing!”
With Rise Again, Apocalyptica and Epica are joining forces right before their shared European tour in early 2023. The unique timbre of Epica vocalist Simone Simons meets the melancholic yet powerful Cellos of the Finnish Metal outfit. Rise Again is big, dynamic and – for the lack of a better word – epic. The new single comes with an artistic and unique music video directed by Lisa Mann. Watch and listen here.
