Singer Simone Simons of Dutch female-fronted symphonic metallers EPICA has posted behind-the-scenes photos and details about the band's "Storm The Sorrow" video shoot on her official blog. Check it out at this location. The clip, which deals with facing your demons, shows the band in a way you have never seen them before," according to a press release.

"Storm The Sorrow" comes off EPICA's fifth full-length album, "Requiem For The Indifferent", which sold 4,800 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 104 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's previous CD, "Design Your Universe", opened with 2,100 units to land at position No. 12 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

"Requiem For The Indifferent" was released on March 9 in Europe and four days later in North America via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD was recorded at Gate Studio in Wolfsburg, Germany under the watchful eye of Sascha Paeth.

EPICA will embark on an extensive North American tour this fall. Support on the trek will come from ALESTORM, INSOMNIUM, SYSTEM DIVIDE, DESTINY POTATO. EPICA will offer special VIP tickets to all shows, which include VIP meet-and-greet, one-hour-early entry and commemorative poster signed by the band.
