Description
EPICA’s seventh full-length studio effort “The Holographic Principle” signified a significant upping of the musical ante for
this most adventurous of modern bands. Recorded once with esteemed producer Joost van den Broek at the controls,
“The Holographic Principle” represents the most impressive and powerful expression of EPICA’s boldly inventive sound
yet. One listen to thunderous songs like ‘Edge Of The Blade’ and ‘Universal Death Squad’ will confirm that “The
Holographic Principle” is EPICA’s heaviest album to date. Meanwhile, the shimmering soundscapes and multi-layered
melodrama of ‘Once Upon A Nightmare’ and the towering 11-minute title track confirm that “The Holographic Principle” is
also the band’s most musically extravagant and daring release so far. With lashings of sumptuous orchestration and a
never-ending stream of ingenious but brutal metal riffs and propulsive rhythms underpinning the whole explosive
enterprise, this is an album that raises the bar for the entire symphonic metal genre.
