Epica Launches New Music Video “The Ghost In Me (Danse Macabre)” in Collaboration with De Efteling
DARE TO DANCE WITH THE DEAD… AND US! 💀
We’re thrilled to share our eeriest creation yet: the spine-chilling music video for “The Ghost in Me (Danse Macabre).” This haunting track invites you into a world where shadows waltz and the afterlife whispers. It’s an extraordinary collaboration with Europe’s second-most visited theme park, De Efteling. With over 5 million visitors each year, it’s an iconic part of Dutch culture. The video ties into their highly anticipated new attraction, Danse Macabre, which opens October 31st – just in time for Halloween!
Since childhood, we’ve been captivated with “Danse Macabre” by Saint-Saëns as a soundtrack of De Efteling’s haunted house, Spookslot. So when they announced their new plans for the ghostly attraction, Danse Macabre, we thought: Why not combine our symphonic side with the ‘scary’ side of metal and do our version of this epic classical piece? We’re so happy 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 adding a new chapter!
Dive into the music video, filmed inside and in front of the Danse Macabre attraction itself. And if that wasn’t exciting enough, we even got our very own Epica gravestone featured in the video! 🪦 Can you spot it?
“The Ghost in Me (Danse Macabre)” is now available on YouTube and will be available on all streaming platforms soon! But that is part of our next Epica chapter… which will be unveiled soon…
