Holland’s greatest symphonic metal band, Epica, have finally put the last touches on their new upcoming studio album, The Holographic Principle. The album will be delivered to the world via Nuclear Blast Records on September 30th. The album was produced with Joost van der Broek at Sandlane Recording Facilities. Mixing was handled by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Destruction). The cover artwork was created by Stefan Heilemann.

The band commented:

Our highly anticipated seventh studio album is a fact. The Holographic Principle feels to us like a true treasure, created by us all with blood, sweat, and tears of joy. In the past year we have worked very hard to write and record this special album. We are all very eager to share it with you! Join us on our new musical journey.
