BACH and I'm not even a German!!! Bach did ii all. He was... every fuga .. and even een 10 fold fuga... Santus by Karl Richter

never discuss your favo.. sorry man, reruinid your your moment

a real refreshing reaction. like you I cry every time she says “i will waiting for you”.

Can you imagine what this will be live!?!? 🤯🤯🤯🤯❤❤❤

No Floor?? are you insane??

You are brave 🥰

In a behind the scenes video they show the filming of the first wall crash, into the office room. As soon as the director cuts one can hear Nico yelling in German "Half of the wall is in my eyes!!"

Good evening& happy new year! I had not noticed this reaction until now. Thank you..better late than ever. I really enjoyed this. I have few albums by them. And Six degrees of inner turbulance is my favourite , especially songs 5&6 played in row with no gap. They just belong together. I also have thoughts what if they had different vocalist. Those instrument players are so masterclass. You can hear it from the first note. This song reminded me of a Kansas song 'pinnacle' somehow. Progressive too I guess. But less talking& more listening. Bye bye for now....Kaisa ❤

I don’t understand why the lead guitarist Isaac never appears on lists of the best guitarists. I think he slays.

The album ONCE had both London Orchestra but London Metro Voices in the background. Tarja is trained to sing with a choir and orchestra. Tarja showed her talent when not held back especially on 2014 Beauty and the Beat w Mike Teranna in the Czhek Republic. Tarja is trained in German Lied (leed) singing chamber music style. Floor and Tarja have been friends since 2003. She was heading a band After Forever. They opened in Europe that summer. Belgium (Sept Iirc )2012 Tarja had Floor as her guest. It was in the news that She would join the old band. They sang Over the Hills together at the Female Voices of Metal Festival together. Tarja called on everyone to show Floor love and no hate. Privately she had said yes when Floor asked Tarja for her blessing to join the band. Nothing but kind and gracious and sweet Tarja. Marko & Tarja made up in 2017. Xmas tv concert in Finland. Now its official that Marko and Tarja will headline shows together. First ones in 2025 in Greece. No hate of course but Floor does not connect with me at all in her music. Tarja moves me greatly. But yes to each their own. I am not picking fights only saying what I love. my heart, mind and spirit are captured by #Queen Tarja. ps: Jukka went into mngt in 2014 I read for his health.

Yes please, do part 2 as well! It's an amazing song, sadly very underrated. It's my favorite of the three parts.

I'll never understand how some people think that the Tarja version is better then Floors. Its so boring compared. To each their own.

Was so in love with this version, but comparing this with the BA2012 this is a firecracker that misfires at the end and lacks the wanted or may be better needed explosion.💥

Funny fact, during the recording of this, babymetal made the guys do some dance moves, that is part of the final result, and Electric callboys made the girls sing some funny stuff, also used, this shows that these colabs can bring new sides of a band to the table, thats intresting.

Great reaction!! I would suggest you do part 2 as well, it dosent matter to much if you do it after part 3, i just think you should get it in the package to, its not a bad song at all, but it does have a less heavy feel then part 1 and 3, and its just because part 1 and 3 is pure masterpieces, people suggest those first, and i might consider part 2 just being a great song, but it surely got quality to, and great lyrics.

i like pt 3 more

Please do part 2. Not the best of the 3 but still deserving lot of love. And really different from p1 and p3 more gothic imo

Honestly go for part 2 as well. It's one of their most underrated songs, but it's my favourite of the trilogy! It's not as flashy, but it's very well written.

Floor is my fav singer because of her versatility, but Simone has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard. Nightwish and Epica are constantly fighting my top 1. Recently The Weave (NW) took the top 1 song place that The Holographic Principle (Epica) had for years.

This might be my favorite Epica song !! Please do Epica more often :)

part 2 is the worst of the three, but as you've noticed part 1 is not that easy to match... (same for part 3) part 2 is still an amazing song, still at a very high level, just slightly beneath the other two. so please listen to that one as well. i would suggest listening to the album versions of all three in one go, to make it even more clear that there is not that much difference in greatness.

I love part 1 but it always seems very fragmented and disconnected when compared to part three in which the flow of the transitions is much better. Both get plenty of plays though. Part 2 does not have the same impact. If there is an Omega Alive version of a song then I would suggest ALWAYS going for that version (except perhaps ‘Rivers’ which is a very different take on the song from the normal concert version).

There is always crazy technical and unique guitar layers with this band, and they are often inaudible due to the way they are mixing across a wide spectrum of frequencies. The fact that he puts all that work into writing awesome guitar parts that are so far back in the mix that the average person will not even be able to pick it out of the full audio mix, is highly respectable.

ALL hale the REAL TRUE QUEEN 👑 OF NIGHTWISH AND OF ALL FEMALE SYMPHONIC METAL SINGERS!!!, the very beautiful looking and very unique voice of the enchanting TARJA!!!😀🤟🤟

Love it ❤

Verdaderamente amé su reacción! ❤

What a joy to see you react (yes, react!) to this fantastic song!

If you don't watch this whole online live concert in one go (very recommended), then at least do "Rivers" and "Once upon a nightmare" in one sitting. They merge into one another during this concert. After that, also try the Rivers version with the band "Apocalyptica", just to see how they can bring one song in so many ways.

I think you should do part 2 as well. I don't think it's any less awesome than 1 and 3, but since its length is less eye-popping it's easy to kind of forget about part 2.

🤘💥

You really should check out Dana dan song with Bloodywood

Masterpiece!! Epic arrangement, riffs, drums, bass, vocals, lyrics & performance Part ll is a great song but not at level of part 1 and 3 Once upon a nightmare is another amazing song by the Omega Alive (as the version of Kingdom of Heaven part 3) Chef kiss!!

you are right, it is difficult to write a long song so that you would want to listen to it again, from start to finish. This song is symphonic prog metal, it is quite difficult to perceive, because there is so much stuff in it. but! I think that such long and complex songs should have "hooks" - such moments for which you will want to listen to it again and then during the second and third listening this song will captivate you completely. For me the first "hook" was the moment with acoustics and the breakdown that follows it, it is done simply masterfully well! Just for this one moment I wanted to listen to it again and again. Well, and then the wonderful old-school solo)) how cool they wrote it off in that song 👍 about the second part ... IMHO, it does not deserve a detailed analysis and is not particularly remarkable. It's okay if you skip it, it is better to spend time watching and analyzing other great songs, of which the band has a lot. But part 3 definitely has to be here 😁 and I think it will surprise you even more than the first one.

i would say that pt3 is less of a mess, but i really like this one too.

Be honest with yourself. If you plan to stay with Epica for a long time, go for part two. If you want to see just the bombastic masterpieces, skip to part 3. We'll watch no matter what you decide. It's true that the songs aren't connected by anything more than just the general theme and their names. Part two is still an amazing song, even though more ,,atmospheric'' than the first and third parts.

I suggest doing part 2 as well, that way you have the whole Kingdom of Heaven done. If I recall correctly there will be no more Kingdom of Heaven parts. Also, I recommend "The Holographic Principle - A Profound Understanding of Reality" if you want to continue with the longer songs

Hi KaNji! Thank you for this reaction. I was interested to hear this, because I liked very much Sancta terra, featuring Floor J. and there was big arrangements on the stage including live strings ....In this one I liked more melodic parts. Mostly I had a sight in my head of medieval backanals where some innocent is soon going to be sacrificed by hornheaded devil.. I warmly suggest Sancta terra for you, if have not allready enjoyed it...Kaisa ❤

This is the first album with Joey Concepcion on lead after Jeff Loomis left. It's kind of a shame how Loomis was so underutilized because he's SO GOOD. Hopefully Joey will have some better/longer leads like Chris had (i.e. Silent Wars).

You should go to part two. Unluckily no live/official video but it’s a great song, Simone really shines there. Less “bombastic” but worth take a look! Enjoy 🤘🏼

Omega Alive was put out as a livestream during the pandemic. They found a studio in Belgium with a large enough space to accommodate the elaborate sets they wanted to use. It was recorded over 5 days to accommodate the set changes but each song was a single live take, so no multi-track recordings. There were two instances where the recorded back to back songs in one take. Rivers and Once Upon a Nightmare was recorded as a one shot video, with a single cameraman moving around the stage. Cry for the Moon and Beyond the Matrix were also one take. Well worth doing the entire show as they also incorporated a mini intro sketch between each days recordings. The whole thing is genius

Go for part 3. The three parts are not that heavy connected. All are stand alone songs. In the older albums theres secondary names to the songs, connecting different songs together im yet to figure out.

Mike often uses a pitch shifter for just a verse or chorus to make that part extra heavy.

Drop F# is so heavy and some of the stuff Mike does in this song brings back IWABO vibes.

What fascinates me is that Epica always manages to perform such songs in front of an audience. I was lucky enough to see this song at the 20th anniversary in Tilburg. There is no difference to the studio or like here in the livestream. Epica are in my top three favorite bands
