EPICA – release second trailer for “The Holographic Principle”

25th July 2016 0 By John Deaux

The Dutch symphonic metal stars EPICA are ready to release the second studio trailer for their upcoming masterpiece The Holographic Principle. In this new clip, the band shows its work and experimentation with many new instruments and how it affected the depth and diversity of their new sound:

“Recording this album felt like being a kid in a candystore”, states Keyboarder Coen Janssen. “Never before have we used more live-instruments. Recording them ourselves and hearing the music come ‘alive’ like that is an indescribable feeling! I’m sure these efforts make this album our best yet!”
