Part 3:

Lead guitarist Isaac Delahaye made an extra College Of Metal guitar course for Epica’s anthem "Design Your Universe", which was recorded back in 2009. In this course he’ll take you through every single part of the song, making sure you’ll be able to get all the details right. If you need the guitar tabs, head here.

To celebrate the launch of the tutorial the band are holding a competition amongst guitar players and fans to record you performing the song. Upload your video to YouTube and sent the link to info@epica.nl. The winner will be chosen by Isaac Delahaye and will receive an Epica merch bundle including Design Your Universe- Gold Edition. The competition closes October 1.

Design Your Universe - Gold edition contains a remastered and remixed version of the album and a newly recorded acoustic bonus disc and will be released October 4. The album and exclusive merchandise bundles are now available for pre-order, here.
