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 and was rewarded with their first UK Top 50 album placing. So far, the band's World Tour has only taken in one triumphant night at the Shepherds Bush Empire but a small UK run is planned for Spring 2018. To precede it, this new six-song EP again represents the most impressive and powerful expression of Epica's boldly inventive sound. With lashings of sumptuous orchestration and a never-ending stream of ingenious but brutal metal riffs and propulsive rhythms underpinning the whole explosive enterprise.
