Epica release new music video for ‘Kingdom Of Heaven Pt 3’
EPICA have released a new music video
The music video for the track Kingdom Of Heaven Pt 3 – The Antediluvian Universe is taken from the symphonic metallers’ streaming event, Omega Alive. Originally streaming in June, Omega Alive is now being released in digital and physical formats on December 3rd.
Speaking about the excerpt of the livestream Kingdom Of Heaven Pt 3 – The Antediluvian Universe is taken from, keyboardist and Coen Janssen explains the entire third act was built around the Kingdom Of Heaven songs. He then goes on to address setting a piano on fire, saying “the whole third act was built around the Kingdom of Heaven songs. The third part (from the Omega album) just had to be played, so we came up with Elysia, the kingdom somewhere in the sky… A new decor resembling a throne room and a massive chandelier with acrobats in it set the tone for this song. For the ‘piano-solo’ we had an extra surprise up our sleeve… playing it while it was on fire! A stunt we could not rehearse since the piano would be destroyed afterwards! Under great guidance from our pyro-crew we managed to pull it off, luckily the part only lasts about 30 seconds since it was extremely hot as you can imagine! Since this looked so cool on stage, we also lit up the gong at the end of the act, with Ariën hitting it with a flaming torch… These images turned out way cooler than we expected… too bad we can’t do this live.”
