This guy is friendly, brilliant, talented, and very down to earth. He's the nicest guy in metal IMO.

[@pestilence6957]

Always a pleasure to hear Mark talking about album concepts of Epica and his lyrics

[@adolfoalbornoz3730]

definitely

[@carinasanper]

Such a humble, and marvelous person. I really admire him. Can't expect to hear the whole album 🤍

[@rufuspanjaitan5759]

I think Mark should give seminar for spiritual self improvement 😳

[@missdoom1]

Whats not to like about Mark! Such a genuine, nice guy :)

[@BharatIndoria]

It's so damn hard to believe that he is the guy whose death vocals in 'Design Your Universe' made me perform some of my heaviest lifts. He is so humble and respectful towards the interviewer. I feel blessed to know such off track musicians.

Here right after listening omega alive for the milllion time and just 2 days before the Epica concert. Such a deep person and always have something meaningful to tell. Lucky to know them!

[@gabbrielviera]

can't wait for Omega!

[@franro2204]

Same!

[@markwilson4535]

Great interview! So excited for this album, first three songs are outstanding, ordered the 4-pack! Great concepts & very uplifting - thank you!

[@adolfoalbornoz3730]

I have many expectations about the song "kingdom of heaven part III"

[@KVStarStruck22]

Epica

If you want to know more about Marks inspiration, go and see Gregg Braden's work :)

[@kenngoidiomas]

A great chance to interview Mark, and the interviewer just spoiled it all!, really basic questions, I think Mark was somehow disappointed of having such questions, it would have been way better to go deeper into spirituality, believes, behaviors and the real message f each song. Mark does know too much about that, what a shame.

[@jay-mm3zi]

Seems like Mark doesn't record his Guitars anymore. Doesn't necessarily matter though

[@adolfoalbornoz3730]

Why do you think that?

[@phoenixaki3458]

He didn't do rhythm guitar on Holographic Principle but he's been doing it as usual for ever release since then, including Omega.

[@LaughingMan44]

I'd rather not converge into a borg like unity!
