EPICA Launch New Music Video For "Victims Of Contingency"
October 30, 2014, 10 years ago
Dutch symphonic metallers, Epica, have premiered the official music video for "Victims Of Contingency". The video is directed by Remko Tielemans (Textures) and produced by the Kunstoff Kollectiv, the same team who were responsible for the band's music video for "Storm The Sorrow".
Guitarist Mark Jansen comments: “We've picked a heavy and brutal track this time as we wanted to surprise everybody. As "Victims Of Contingency" is also a fan-favourite, we are convinced that it is the right choice. The video for "Storm The Sorrow" has been received very well by the fans so we were very happy to work with Remko and his team again. We think the end result for "Victims Of Contingency" is astonishing and I am very excited that we can finally share this video with all of you! ”
Epica have announced their return to South America in support of their latest album, The Quantum Enigma. The South American Enigma Tour will see the band return to Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Peru and Ecuador.
