Album Notes & Community Reviews

Exploring the complex cosmological theory that the universe functions as a digital projection, 'The Holographic Principle' is a massively scaled symphonic endeavor. The Dutch septet utilized massive live choirs, a full string orchestra, and extensive acoustic instrumentation to bolster their colossal, cinematic metal framework.
