First single is called "Aeterna." If you're wondering how different it is from Epica, it isn't.

The album is co-written by Simons and Master Lucassen of Ayreon. This song bears his trademark songwriting. I'm not that familiar with Epica's music, but this feels like an Ayreon song through and through.

Simone can't write music so it's just lyrics on her side. Just by listening this track and the things both had said or imply the last days, this feels to me like an Ayreon album with Simone just saying yes or no when Lucassen was presenting her the tracks or parts of them.

This song was OK, nothing special on my mind, which it's sad because I really like Simone's voice.
