Epica release new music video for ‘The Ghost In Me (Danse Macabre)’

EPICA have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Ghost In Me (Danse Macabre), is the brand new single from the Dutch symphonic metal band and marks their first new music since their latest EP, The Alchemy Project, which was released back in November 2022, via Nuclear Blast Records.

The new single comes as part of a unique collaboration with Europe’s second-most visited theme park, Netherlands’s magical de Efteling, and their much-anticipated new attraction, Danse Macabre.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, keyboardist Coen Janssen says, “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 adding a new chapter!”
