EPICA Launch Official Live Video For “The Essence Of Silence”; Free Track Download Available

Dutch metallers Epica have launched the official live video for “The Essence of Silence”, which was recorded live earlier this year during the European Enigma tour at their sold-out show at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium.

The video was shot and edited by Jens de Vos and his team at Panda Productions. The show was recorded by Ace Zec and mixed by EPICA producer Joost van der Broek.
 

 
Epica have teamed up with Activatr to offer a free download of the song. You can get it through their application here.

Epica and Eluveitie will join forces this fall to co-headline across North America. This trek also has Canada’s The Agonist supporting on all dates. A new tour trailer can be seen below:

Epica frontwoman Simone Simons says the following about the upcoming tour: “We are ecstatic to finally return to North America. It is time to nurture our long-distance relationship with our fans over in North America. We'll have a wonderful time together and will perform songs spanning our entire discography. You guys better be ready for us.”

This will mark Epica’s long-awaited return to North America after the band’s tour with Machine Head late 2013 got cancelled. It will also be the group’s first North American run in support of their latest album, The Quantum Enigma, which hit the charts all over Europe and beyond.
