Isaac's face with that gong is just pure joy.

[@metalheaddrummer101]

When I did percussion it felt like that every time. It's really hard not to giggle like a 12 year old every time you hit that thing.

[@FutileGrief]

"we'll roll on stage with our wheelchairs". You heard her folks, it's on record! Please also set a space for the rest of us, also on wheelchairs haha ♥ So stoked for this album, I can't even.

[@NeverEndingStory536]

I can't believe how beautiful everything that Epica does is

[@Ivan-zo2zl]

7:45 Reminded me to Haggard. This album is gonna be EPIC. Love you Epica, FOREVER AND EVER !

[@jojorod]

I had to wait 4 months to kill my curiosity about the song that starts in 8:20 in this video. It's called "Fight your demons" and everybody that heard it agree that this song deserved to be in this album!

[@thesmooze001]

To be honest Epica is the only symphonic metal band now that has never disappointed me. I keep my fingers crossed for them but I already conclude watching these two episodes that it will be another splendid album and there's nothing to worry about. They are evolving all the time (more choral arrangements in Quantium Enigma) but they're still faithful to their roots

[@MoSweiti666]

It's one of the best modern metal bands around

[@rolsen1304]

2 insanely good albums since this comment, kind of wild!

[@gg9895]

Everybody seems so happy and satisfied with the work, especially Isaac looks so amused all the time! 💜

[@seventoekevin919]

Wow, this time they have live brass, woodwinds, and percussion, in addition to the live strings and choir from the last album... They'll have a truly symphonic metal album this time, with the full orchestra.

[@nimedhel09]

Aw! You had so much fun with the different instruments. I loved Isaac's face with the gong, and Coen looked like he was about to leap with glee, lol. Also, the piano parts alone sound amazingly beautiful. The orchestra and the little tid-bits... Ermergherrrrrrrrrrrd!!!!!! Mark's and Simone's vocals? Perfect already. I can see it. I can hear it. The Holographic Principle is going to be the best music Epica has ever made! As I already said, the energy of the band, the atmosphere surrouding the recording is so pleasing and positive. It's not business or the creation of hits that's the goal here, but the art of music itself, where it can go, what you can do to improve your sound. The musicality and the lyrics are both important, the band is as cohesive and enthusiastic as they can get after more than 10 years together for the most part, and it's lovely to get a look at the work they've done to bring out this album. I really can't wait!

[@valarmorghulis6822]

What I also liked is that the guitars I heard so far seemed to have more personality then in TQE.

[@nimedhel09]

Valar Morghulis I'm telling you: it's going to be sooooooooooooo freaking epic!

[@susshexe7987]

Ugh... Sounds so good. This waiting is torture :(

[@tomaszrogalski9788]

The more sounds they tease us with, the harder it gets. This album will be so epic!

[@DerekShunia]

Yea I'm not sure I'll be able to wait two months, that's very far away when a new Epica album is coming!

[@MoSweiti666]

A new song is coming this Friday

[@LigeiaNoire]

man they show so much, the choir, that invited singer, some guitars and even parts of songs with Simone singing and Mark growling.... He is so much better at growling, it is deeper and fuller, using is stomach, really good to see and she is so much more agile and powerful. Really excited to see them live in a few months!

[@KreshDraven6]

Mark's grows here and in '' Quantum Enigma'' are best then ever ! Looks awesome, I can't wait

[@slowmercy69]

yeah! His grows in Consign to Oblivion were hard to understand sometimes While in Q E he was both clear and Epic!

[@akashacondenada5981]

is better manson wow i love your fotos of his but i dont like the bitch of lightning arg....

[@rodolforsilva]

Ladies and Gentlemen , I'm pretty sure , by what I heard and saw on the video, that's coming our way an awesome album !! Greetings from Brazil.

[@naomilou1011]

Looking forward to this album already, just based on the snippet of Mark's vocals on "The Holographic Principle" album title track. Super excited for the new album and I'll see everybody at the London show next year!

[@lacmcasares8755]

I'm sharing this nice making of video with my metal sons. We're waiting for you in Puerto Rico once again.It's amazing how this Epic band has been producing better and better. Epica ......You are really the best of the Best

[@Chouyren]

I had goosebumps while watching this! It sounds absolutely fantastic!!!! :)

[@DestinyDragonLP]

omg i feel you so much

[@monikabaumann6050]

Coen and Isaac headbanging to the meditation chimes is pure gold.

[@MpSniperM1911]

2:15 Dancing in a hurricane!!! i fuckin luv that song

[@gregmoschopoulos7123]

when the first episode was ready I felt like I need to watch the second one ! now I've changed my mind cause I that episode really made me want the album even more ! I can't wait for it ! those two months will be a torment !!

[@sarahm1rnd]

This album's gonna be pure symphonic metal! I am so proud seeing how much you guys grew up and are always improving in each work! Cant wait to finally listen to this masterpiece! Love you!

[@Experimetal]

That's hard work, real music, real musicians, real orchestra, there is absoluetly no place for fake in this band... why Epica is one of the best bands in the History of Metal, proud to be a fan since te early days

[@noorsarsar]

It's already album of the year in my opinion

[@valiaminaethiel]

cant wait for the album!! Always love it when a new album comes out but i have to say there is a huge difference between the vocal recording we listen to the video and the result on the album after all the voice effects,pitch change etc.

[@batutanrverdi1924]

I've watched 12 times at least, and I'm still hungry for those incredible songs! Especially, from 12.14 to 12.26 is magnificent! I can't wait for this album. I just want to sleep until Semptember 30! The Holographic Principle sounds very good and I think, it's going to be my favourite album... Greetings from Turkey :)

[@TheFacedGAM]

I'm rewatching the series now that I've bought the album and whored my ears with it to Identify all the songs that those little parts belong to. Hehe.

[@jerrybk1]

It's fascinating how much thought is put into the music. Very professional. Can't wait till new record.

[@thedocjps6198]

Sometimes People on Music Festivals ask me, why I'm listening to Metal and keep on learning Violin since 20 years :D I think this band is the reason

[@carlosjespinoza]

Oh my God. This album will be fucking awesome

[@electron5271]

Lol this video is great. Epica should totally do a show where they leave their drums and guitars home, and play only tambourins, triangles, xylophones and percussion :D

[@astral7080]

Fantastic musicians and composers, out of this world!

[@pastormedina6099]

Omg the vocals. They all sound very well, this will be huge.

[@MrAngry1218]

Obviously, guys have fun when writing the music, thus it obtained so cool. Good luck guys, we are waiting more Epic songs! :)

[@real90sjesus]

I was actually waiting for the vocal parts caus my feelings towards quantum enigma were that they had an AMAZING instrumental record and simone holding back or not bringing that 'power' factor to the songs(maybe due to key in which they were recorded, IDK). but these two bits here really do sound more bombastic, and more orchestrated and (EVEN) better sounding. I wanna get my hands on it fast!

[@valarmorghulis6822]

I just thougt this trailers are there to shorten the waiting time, but now I can't wait any second more for this album.

[@johnjoshuafernandez5265]

Hi EPICA!I'm Joshua!22 Years Old!I'm From The Philippines!I've Discovered You Since 2015 By Hearing And Listening To One Of Your Throwback Suspense Songs "Never Enough"!And Now It's Almost 1 Year Of Listening To EPICA!I Hope "The Holographic Principle"Will Come Also To The Philippines Very Soon!And I Pray That EPICA Will Tour In Manila Very-Very-Very Soon!

[@ipdvb4853]

Damn, the finished bits sound absolutely amazing. Very excited.

[@NattSza]

oh my fucking god!!!! I want this now! * __ *

[@christianayala633]

this album out.. GOD I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER

[@DollyPopCorp]

Epica has always been a great band, but Isaac coming on board really brought them to the next level, and made them even better :)

[@wisconsincows1212]

Simone's first show with Sahara Dust / Epica was supporting Anathema? I had no idea. That's awesome.

[@real90sjesus]

there's an article online about it where vincent comments on the band's sound, it's actually kinda funny

[@AbsoluteArtemis]

where can you find it? :o

[@real90sjesus]

here you go www.rockezine.com/asp/rez_aconcert.asp?ID=134&review=+Anathema+++Sahara+Dust

[@AbsoluteArtemis]

Thank you :)

[@jcman0218]

the hype is real! I can't wait until this album comes out!

[@Nickball97]

This is what Nuclear Blast should've done with Opeth instead of those shitty studio reports. This is one of the best "recording documentaries" i've watched!

[@niendumb]

We want a complete Song! Even if it only is a 30 sec Intro for the Album, we want it!

[@ClaytonDerby]

OMMGGGGG total fangasm!!!! Cannot wait :D

[@MpSniperM1911]

3:23, best part ever

[@theacidtonguedconservative3865]

The death growls from Mark sound enhanced and processed in the final product. While I am glad that Epica is being honest with this aspect of things, I am a bit disappointed that he doesn't have a more brutal sound.

[@VoodooMadMike41]

I agree, he doesn't seem to try to make them more powerful. They're still quite good, just sound very rough and the studio processing of the vocals makes them sound unnatural. But I know the album will still be a masterpiece and it doesn't bother me much so yeah.

[@MoSweiti666]

That's gonna be amazing, can't wait to hear a song tomorrow

[@winwin-cd1bx]

loveeeeeee this, cant wait anymooooreee

[@steampunk5123]

This is going to be the longest two months ever, I need this album now!

[@AthirahRazakyjs]

watching isaac having fun with the intruments made me happy!😂

[@ryuzzakibsb]

Omg I hope they stop to age and never quit rocking!!

[@CanaldaMonaRock]

it is sounding amazing! great album it will be. oh damn l am crying!

[@alext123100]

OMG!!! I can't wait, It sounds incredibly, absolutely fantastic

[@jojorod]

My ticket to Epic Metal fest it's in my hand and I can't wait to have my T.H.P. signed too! See it live will be wonderful!

[@ezequieltcd]

I could watch Simone singing all day long.

[@rociopurplefan2479]

Simone's vocals sound awesome!

[@JKCWvids]

i am so looking forward to hear the melody track.

[@buenrostro2339]

This is... Amazing I love you guys!!! MEXICO

[@gabriellacarrillo5344]

So amazing!! I can't wait for it ...It will be really perfect!❤

[@seboepican4344]

Cant wait! :D

[@lilithinferno]

This looks so interesting, I'm so excited and can't wait!

[@lipHs1]

this is amazing, thanks!

[@heavynov]

Really excited after seeing this, but I hope there are not too many doubled vocal lines with Simone. I'd really prefer her voice "sola" without overdubs

[@sergiobenitez4266]

can't wait for this!

[@zacharygreene4439]

9 DAYS I'M SO EXCITED

[@LunkHead5150]

Does anyone know how many segments there are to this series? Its kind of like what Nightwish did with their last CD which I think is a great promotional tool. Love it.

[@eeebynls]

I hope you have enough energy to play FOREVER

[@Hhaz48]

So excited!

[@leomendez7996]

Can´t wait!! lml

[@BookOwl60]

wow is amazing..just the first.

[@RammmFan]

What a masterpiece! And its so relevant in this modern age that we are sadly living in

[@tomas-1574]

Each day it goes, I love it more. Love you Everyone 3

[@rodrigogarcia5653]

ONE WORD: AAAAAAAAAAAAWESOME!!!!!!!

[@ipdvb4853]

The choir sounds terrific! I didn't like the sound for TQE, so I'm very pleased to hear this.

[@beldunkelheit]

Aaaaaaaahhh!!! can't wait *-*

[@EvaMetalhankle]

they are só happy that i'm just thrilled watching this.... and oh my goodness can't wait... for what I've heard....... I'll be just as in love as always!

[@barbaradasilvachagas5376]

So excited for THP!

[@natanaelvieira2015]

It's so funny to watch this after hearing the album and to identify the songs

[@SimoneSlereth]

This is a torture, i can't wait

[@Eugeniocaraujo]

Fucking amazing !

[@carolinavillagomez5220]

Beautiful!

[@elijahBD1]

mortinha, I can't wait!!! omg!!

[@oswaldovzki]

Looks awesome!

[@TheAnnoyingGunner]

12:41 "How we prepare is [...] we record the new vocal lines with bullshit lyrics" Wondering how Lorem Ipsum sounds when growled...

[@JooorgeMT]

Are you guys making the soundtrack for the new pacific rim movie or what 5:10? just kidding ;) sounds huge

[@karamdabagh]

goosebumps

[@herrerafabiola7887]

[@tsimons840]

Beautiful💖

[@MrJNazzjh]

My body is ready

[@Nero77718]

Que sexta venha logo

[@danikgun]

Думаю этот альбом будет еще круче чем Quantum enigma. Жду, что волосы будут вставать дыбом и мурашки бежать по коже.

[@96harryGo]

10:10 is he the same of "we will take you with us"?

[@Stroodle01588]

Yes

[@gc0009]

gente, terá alguma participação em alguma música?

[@tawfikjnikah1345]

So professional

[@jailbr3ak_acdc]
