Dutch symphonic metal band EPICA has launched the video for 'Decoded Poetry' which is taken from the band‘s latest EP »The Solace System«. The animated video was created/produced by anime-master Davide Cilloni and completes the video trilogy of EPICA‘s masterful title track 'The Solace System' and 'Immortal Melancholy', all taken from »The Solace System« EP which was released worldwide in September 2017 via Nuclear Blast. Watch the new video now here:
EPICA‘s Coen Janssen (keys) comments: "It has been a great pleasure working with the talented Davide Cilloni on this unique video trilogy. In this final part we finally find out what will happen to our dimension and if the Universal Death Squad will conquer our planet... let‘s hope for the best!! I hope you enjoy this last part as much as I have enjoyed seeing myself as a cartoon haha!"
This Thursday, EPICA will kick off »The Ultimate Principle Tour - Latin America« in Montevideo, Uruguay. On this tour, EPICA will perform 8 dates in Brazil including cities where the band has never performed during their 15-year career, next to additional dates in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay. The band is excited to perform tracks from »The Holographic Principle« and »The Solace System« for their Latin American fans for the first time.
EPICA guitarist Mark Jansen comments: “We are very happy to announce we are finally returning to Latin America! As I have noticed many fans are so much looking forward to that as well. We are all very excited and can't wait to party with you guys!!!“
