Horror Expo posted a video in which Simone answers questions about Epica’s upcoming album Ωmega, the band’s future plans and her love for horror movies.

“The Holographic Principle deals about humanity living in sort of a matrix, a virtual reality where we can’t really know who built it, why it was built and what lies beneath the basis of our universe. And in Ωmega, we partly talk about the secret geometry teachings and the oldest found wisdom zones in the emerald tablets. Life being a labyrinth in which we stay trapped in the illusion, or we manage to navigate well and find the kingdom of heaven within ourselves.”
