The official performance video for the song “The Essence Of Silence” from Dutch symphonic metallers EPICA can be seen above. The clip, which was filmed earlier this year at the band’s sold-out show at the Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium, 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.

This fall, EPICA and Swiss folk metallers ELUVEITIE will join forces to co-headline across North America. This trek, sponsored by Revolver magazine, also has Canada’s THE AGONIST supporting on all dates.

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 in late 2014 got canceled. 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.
