Where To Buy Epica's The Holographic Principle

One of the biggest releases in the genre this year is Epica's The Holographic Principle, and as usual there are many editions available: in this guide I will list all those that I can find.

As the blog is UK based, I will be focusing on mainly UK and European sites. US fans can check the Nuclear Blast US Store or Epica's US webshop for most of the editions. I will add more editions/stores as they become available. Shipping rates may vary - check before buying!

Release date:

September 30th 2016
