The Quantum Enigma is the sixth and upcoming studio album by Dutch symphonic metal band Epica. It will be released on May 2, 2014 by Nuclear Blast. It is their first studio album with new bassist Rob van der Loo, who replaced Yves Huts in 2012.
Guitarist/vocalist Mark Jansen explains: "I have been listening to our new album and I can't get enough of it! It sounds more modern, but with all typical EPICA elements inside. Refreshing might be the right word. This album has also been the result of a real group effort.It was great to see everyone being so motivated to create our best album! Even though the sound is more heavy (the guitars, bass and drums sound so brutal!!!), it's still a very catchy album as well. Some old influences from our earliest work, some references to 'Design Your Universe' and some new elements.I can't wait 'till the moment you'll be able to listen to our newborn which makes us all very proud!"EPICA will return to the stage on April 30 for a CD-release performance at 013 in Tilburg, The Netherlands.
On March 18th, "The Essence of Silence" was released as a single on iTunes in the United States.
