Finnish cello rockers APOCALYPTICA have released a new song, “Rise Again”, featuring Simone Simons of EPICA on vocals
Accompanied by an artistic and unique music video directed by Lisa Mann, “Rise Again” is a new version of APOCALYPTICA‘s instrumental track “Rise“, taken from the band’s most recent album “Cell-0“.
APOCALYPTICA‘s Eicca Toppinen comments: “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!”
APOCALYPTICA and EPICA‘s “Epic Apocalypse” tour will kick off on January 23 in Oslo and will conclude on March 29 in Leipzig, Germany. Support on the trek will come from WHEEL.
APOCALYPTICA‘s latest album, “Metal Classic, Classic Metal“, was released in September.
