Releasing their first single from the forthcoming new record The Holographic Principle, Epica at long last reveal their hand.
Releasing a brand new lyric video for their new album’s single “Universal Death Squad” the video works somewhat as a lyric video but also in the classic sense of the word seeing Epica performing the brand new track whilst having small side notes of lyrics flying by next to singer Simone Simmons. It’s an interesting approach to have the two somewhat come together and brings the feeling of, well epic-ness to a whole new level.
Of the track singer and guitarist states :
“This track is representative for The Holographic Principle, as it’s a heavy and melodic album. The lyrics are dealing about advanced robotic legions with a self-determination to kill. We have chosen for a different kind of lyric-video concept in which Epica plays the track in a rehearsal room. The song is very much fun to play and I expect this one will do very well on stage. Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we did creating it.”
The track is the first to come off the band’s new album The Holographic Principle set for a September 30th release via Nuclear Blast.
