Simone Simons comments: “During the writing sessions of the Acoustic Universe, I immediately fell in love with the acoustic version of ‘Martyr of the Free Word‘. A heavy song turned into the most intimate ballad. When we decided to do a video on this song we decided to work with my friend and long-time EPICA partner Stefan Heilemann, whom you all know as the man behind our artwork. This is the first time that we did a video together and I love it! We hope you love it too and see you on the road very soon!”
‘Design Your Universe’ – Gold Edition contains a remastered and remixed version of the album and a newly recorded acoustic bonus disc. The album and exclusive merchandise bundles are now available now from: http://smarturl.it/epica
