The album is said to be deeply personal, reflecting their growth as artists and individuals, and will include collaborations with prominent artists across genres. Fans can expect a mix of uplifting anthems, introspective ballads, and experimental tracks that push the boundaries of their sound.
The release of *“Epilogue”* will be a significant moment in music history — a final statement from a band that has defined a generation. The album will be available on all major streaming platforms, with physical editions and exclusive merchandise to follow.
