Happy Halloween to my favorite witchie 👻🎃🕷🕸🖤 I knew you would love this song. They really did a great job with it and their music really tied in well with the music from the original haunted castle of The Efteling, which they used now for the new Haunted ride in this Dutch Theme Park. I've been to the old haunted castle many times since I was a little girl, so this made my heart happy.
This song is actually an adaptation of a classical piece by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns from the 1870's, called "La Danse Macabre". If you check a video with the original, you'll see how close Epica's version is -- they've added lyrics and a guitar solo, but that's basically it. The original piece is actually on a Halloween theme itself, including the use of the xylophone to evoke the sound of bones clunking against each other. The term "La Danse Macabre" (or sometimes "the dance of the dead" in English) is a legend from the Middle Ages about how the skeletons of the dead would rise from their graves at midnight on Halloween and dance until daybreak. PS: Congratulations, you are the first American reactor who pronounces "macabre" correctly!! 😀💐🎉
This song is an amazing collaboration between Epica and Dutch (and Europe's second most visited) themepark Efteling for their new attraction Danse Macabre, which opened today! The video actually is shot at the Danse Macabre. :)
What a lovely, spooky surprise to wake up with 👻 Thank you for this and Happy Halloween to you, beautiful Black Magic Witchy Woman 🖤 First time hearing this song and seeing the video and I love it. The Efteling is a very popular theme park over here, so it's super cool that Epica is now part of that.
Loved your reaction, love your outfit Jynger.and what can we say about the great Epica that hasn't already been said? After saying that, this is brilliant isn't it?!
I hope that you know, or will check out, the ORIGINAL song. I will point you to the rabbit hole: The original is Danse Macabre, by Camille Saint-Saëns, written in 1875(!). This song is a (very well done) reinterpretation of that. Also (I don’t want tot go in too much detail) it is firmly engrained into Dutch culture. The attraction, which uses the same music, replaces an old (45yrs) attraction ‘het Spookslot’, with the same theme. One of the iconic set-pieces was a yellow, floating violin. The old Spookslot was opened with Kate Bush singing. The new attraction opens on October 31st and is a reimagining of the same theme with many unique technologies in it. All this points back to tales from the Middle Ages, where the stories were built about dancing with the Dead. De Efteling is a THEME park like no other. IMO one of the best (and oldest) in the world. Do they have the ‘fastest’ coasters? The ‘tallest drops’? No, they don’t. De Efteling are not about that. They are STORY TELLERS. A day at De Efteling will put you in a world of old (not Disneyfied!) European folk tales and local myths. You really should view some videos from vloggers who went there. Especially Americans are often delighted to learn of the fairy tales of old, but not in the Disney way, but in their original, and often darker, form…
A spooky song that I recommend is “The Nightmare Corpse-City of R’lyeh”, by Mare Infinitum. They are a Russian doom metal band, and that song is based on a story by H.P. Lovecraft.
This was made for the new attraction in the Dutch theme park" De Efteling " opening at Halloween.
