EPICA Unveil Haunting Music Video For New Single "The Ghost In Me (Danse Macabre)" In Collaboration With De Efteling
"... Dare to dance with the dead! Dutch symphonic metal titans, Epica, have unleashed their eeriest creation yet, the spine-chilling music video for "The Ghost in Me (Danse Macabre)", a haunting track that lures listeners into a world where shadows dance and the afterlife whispers. This song is a unique collaboration with Europe’s second-most visited theme park, Netherlands’s magical De Efteling, and their much-anticipated new attraction, Danse Macabre....
"... Epica’s keyboard player, Coen Janssen, comments:
..."Every kid in the Netherlands knows how magical ‘de Efteling’ is, and working this closely with the most beautiful theme park in the world surely is a dream come true! As a young boy, I immediately got captivated by the “Danse Macabre” by Saint-Saëns as a soundtrack for their haunted house “Spookslot”. So when ‘de Efteling’ announced their new plans for the ghostly attraction “Danse Macabre” all pieces of the puzzle fell into place immediately: Why not combine our symphonic side with the ’scary’ side of metal and do our version of this epic classical piece?!? We are so happy that ‘de Efteling’ trusted our vision and gave their full support, providing us with the new ride's storyline, so we could write lyrics fitting the fantastic narrative and even add a new chapter!
