Epica talk ‘catchy’ sound on The Holographic Principle.Epica's Simone Simons loves Opeth and here's why.Epica album review – The Holographic Principle.Simone: “I think this will be one of the sing-a-long songs when we play it live.” Musically, the song has quite a simple structure and the catchiest chorus, but the middle is completely wild. It’s hard to be able to see beyond your immediate surroundings when you’re trapped so you have to project yourself outside the matrix to understand. Mark: “Despite the title, this isn’t about the movie! It’s basically about being able to see that you’re in a matrix, to see that you’re in a cage. They’re making people fight each other and when the West conquers, the big companies come in and make money.” Beyond The Matrix What the West are really delivering is mainly destruction. The media report on how the new political regime has brought democracy to the region but maybe the inhabitants were better off before. The media only give us one side of the story, but when you dig deeper, you find layers of truth about natural resources, like oil, that are influencing the region. It deals with what’s really going on in the Middle East. Mark: “This one isn’t actually part of the concept, but musically, it turned out to be one of the stronger songs so it would have been very hard to leave it out. If you can put emotions into robots and create sentient artificial intelligence, what’s the difference between a robot and a human? And what if we’re all robots but just don’t know it? Anything is possible!” There have been many science fiction movies about robots who can think for themselves, but now it’s really happening. Mark: “The lyrics are about robots who decide they want to kill that is, artificial intelligence that’s programmed to fight in wars without anyone having to push a button. He’s not a guitarist so he writes from an alternative perspective and it brings something different to the table, although he sometimes comes up with guitar parts that are impossible to play!” Universal Death Squad Mark: “The music is written by our drummer Ariën van Weesenbeek. This song is basically about The Matrix and the idea of manipulating your dreams to create new realities.”
