Epica The Holographic Principle

2016, THE HOLOGRAPHIC PRINCIPLE deals with the near future wherein virtual reality has taken off and allows people to create their own virtual worlds which can't be distinguished from ´reality as we know it`. This raises the question whether our current reality is a kind of virtual reality on itself, a hologram. This implies the existence of a higher reality which we currently do not have access to. The lyrics challenge you to think out of the box, to reconsider everything you thought to know for sure and to be open-minded towards recent revolutions in science. Fasten your seat belts and get ready for a ride as nothing appears to be what it seems in our holographic universe. The album was recorded with Joost Van Der Broek at Sand Lane Studios. Mixing was handled by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Destruction). The cover artwork was created by Heile.
