EPICA - "Look At Yourself And Design Your Universe"
August 24, 2009, 15 years ago
EPICA vocalist Simone Simons and guitarist / vocalist Mark Jansen are featured in a new interview with Russia's Darkside e-zine. An excerpt is available below.
Q: Your upcoming album is called Design Your Universe. What do you mean by this title?
Mark: Design Your Universe basically means that you can create indeed your own world. People are always complaining that the world is shit, the government is shit, but they don’t think that they have themselves the responsibility too. They may not give all the responsibility away and blame everybody. And we say – look at yourself and design your universe, it means that you are able to create your own universe. You are the calculator of this world. That is basically what the title means, but of course the album touches upon a lot of themes and you’ll understand everything from the lyrics."
