They are from The Netherlands. Been around since 2002, formed by guitarist Mark Jansen, after parting ways with his former band After Forever. Lead singer Simone Simons, 17 in 2002, started singing training in pop, but switched to this style after hearing Tarja with Nightwish. Keyboardist Coen Janssen , Mark and Simone, have all been there since 2002. Current lineup, constant since 2012, also includes Isaac Delahaye on guitar, Bassist Rob van der Loo, and drummer Arien van Weesenbeek. 8 albums and several EP's to date. Love the slow build on this song. The performance is from the Omega Alive concert, their 2021 virtual show, recorded over 5 days, and streamed online when they couldn't tour due to restrictions. Yes, Simone has an awesome voice, Mark will add some harsh vocals in a lot of songs. A contrasting vocal style sometimes referred to as Beauty and the Beast.
The band name pronunciation you used at the end of the video is correct.
Would you believe that EPICA have been making music for 22 years? they have made 8 studio albums and lots of other projects and releases
In the same genre as Nightwish 'Symphonic Metal', their music ranges from breathtakingly beautiful to very heavy, and every style in between, they have more variety in their music than any other band I can think of.
Next Epica song: “Consigne to Oblivion” Live in Paris! 🤘
Greta reaction ladies. Epica (epic-a) is a Dutch symphonic metal band with similar vibes to Nighwish (many people inckuding myself are fans of both) but heavier and more symphonic. Once upon a Nightmare is one of their many gorgeous ballads that really showcases Simone Simons beautiful crystal clear powerful voice. Song is inspired by the Germanic mythological creature the ErlKing or Alder King who stalks children in the woods and lures them to their death. Performance is from their COVID era Omega Alive concert with no crowd. Recorded live over several days on multiple sets it was livestreamed in one two hour event. For Lulu, Simone has been a spokeswoman for L"Oreal cosmetics in Europe and has a blog Smoonstyle where she talks about her two big interests outside of singing, beauty and photography. She also has lots of photographs and videos on her instagram showing her makeup for concerts. Epica was founded by Mark Jansen (one of th guitarist's and their growler) after leaving After Forever. After Forever was Floor's first band (they are not releated). Recommend Unleashed live from their 10th anniversary Retrospect concert next. Their is a more recent official video of the song but I prefer the older live version with live orchestra and choir on stage for it's more expansive soundscape.
If you haven't heard them, the band Lacrimosa are good. You should give them a try. Stille, Fassade and Echos are good albums. Both Stille and Echos feature Orchestras.
For one of their more high energy songs I would recommend this live performance from a show last year in Amsterdam, it really is an Epic performance 🙃
EPICA - Unleashed (Live At The AFAS Live)
For me, Floor Jansen and Simone Simmons are the best two female singers in the world today.
Thank you so much for getting to Epica. They are "Epic" When it comes to symphonic metal, they are the peers of Nightwish with a harder edge. Simone Simons, the singer, has a voice that will give you goosebumps every time.
Songs that you should consider would be Unleashed (I would listen to the version from Retrospect with a full orchestra and choir), Rivers feat. Apocolypticia, from the AFAS show, and when you are ready, Kingdom of Heaven, Part 3 from the Omega Alive show. You have found a wonderful rabbit hole.
p.s., At the Retrospect show, Floor Jansen was a guest singer with Simone on two songs, Sancta Terra and Sabat Mater Delarosa, an ancient hymn.
Oh my, this is a great start to listening to Epica! I suggest continuing down this rabbit hole!
Epica has a lot of variation in their music, from really hard metal to stunning ballads. I suggest "Consign To Oblivion" (live at Zenith performance) for one of their harder songs, and "Tides of Time" (studio version) for one of the most amazing rock ballads ever made.
This is the greatest band ever no doubt. And this is a great intro to their legendary and vast catalogue.
Your next move should be
1- EPICA feat. APOCALYPTICA - Rivers (Live At The AFAS LIVE)

2- EPICA - Unleashed (OFFICIAL LIVE)

3- EPICA - Storm The Sorrow (Official video - HD remastered)

Next Epica song - Kingdom of heaven part 3 omega alive show . . .
Nightwish and Epica. The best you can get. 🤩 The goddess and the siren. Simone was born for ballads. Love it.
Wow two Dutch artists today, we are being spoiled.
Thank you very much ladies, much appreciated & greetings from Tha Low Countries (remember; just one tiny Atlantic puddle away)
Just a tiny puddle. ;-)
Our pleasure!
The album version of this song is more orchestral, it's very beautiful
You want to listen something opposite to this but equally awesome? react to Cosign to Oblivion live at Paris. Epica is a rabbit hole you won´t regret to dig in, ladies.
FINALLY EPICA AN AMAZING BAND BEEN AROUND OVER 20 years now EPICA is BEAUTIFUL METAL 🤘 seen them 5 times they have 25 songs like this heavy gothic metal 🤘 mixed with piano orchestra sounds !!!
I love that Coen is playing on a wing (piano) instead of a keyboard. Such a gorgeous sound. There are still so many of their songs I haven't listened to. This was one of em and I listened to it with you! :)
simone is my fav female singer Floor is second try Epica beyond the matrix live at the zenith paris
OMG NOOOO ITS PRONOUNCED EPIIICA LIKE 👍 LIKE THE WORD EPIC WITH AN A EPICA
Fun fact: Simone Simmons the lead vocalist joined epica with only 18 year old back in 2002 I think it was a year before because the first album came out in 2002 when mark Jansen the lead guitarist and growls left after forever (first floor Jansen band) to formed epica. till nowadays she still in the band.
Another great symphonic metal band whose rabbit hole is well worth exploring. I would highly recommend ‘Storm the Sorrow’, a totally awesome track. Greetings from Oz 🇦🇺🤘
Perfection on every count!
It was worth the wait ladies - a pity Kathy wasn't there for this. They are on a par with Nightwish. Yes Lulu, Simone's hair is lovely, she is beautiful, sings like an Angel, designs her outfits, designs the Epica artwork , is a very good photographer, has modelled for L'Oréal.
Enjoy the Epica journey.
Love the band, suggest giving Epica - kingdom of heaven pt3 (omega Alive) a try.
Epica is such an amazing band one of the best out there, Simone Simons a very gorgeous and talented woman, you should check some of their ballads I think you'd like.
Rivers- Official video
Dreamscape - Official audio
Tides of Time- Official audio
Check out Epica Mother of Light one of their best Classic songs Lulu will love their hair
When you descend down the rabbit hole like you have done with Nightwish, Epica is part of that wonderland journey as are a few more. Don't fret, you will figure it out in due time!🎼🎼🎼🌹🌹🌹
Simon is a vocal goddess no doubt, but Epica also feature male harsh vocals as a contrast. A great example is Victims of Contingency from the same Omega Alive show… ua-cam.com/video/aT1JsH2_97c/v-deo.htmlsi=o1HnN56Bq648Jja_
Oh and guess who she's very good friends with? Floor Jansen!

Greatings from the Netherlands
It's actually Epic then just add the a at the end " Epica" , but it's ok you ladies are first time hearing Epica, wait till you hear Simone's voice
They way they said Epica made me giggle.
@@black4pienus I chuckled too.
They actually got it right at the end of the video after the song, but now I have "e-PICA" stuck in my head and am questioning reality 😆
@@ericfisher4736 It sounds like something we would eat 😂😂
@@bobby666666 e-pica de gallo
Check out unleahsed live retrospect, they play with a full orchestra, it will give you Goosebumps
Great song. and Great reaction.
Simone has great hair! And how abt that piano player eh? Kathy really missed out ;)
Aguante Epica !
Well done, finally Epica, a HUGE rabbit hole like Nightwish! You will like this Dutch gem (like you live Floor 😊)
Love Floor of course 😂
I think they will like the song Rivers. Simone and Floor are friends. You should react to her and Floor singing Sancta Tera and Stabat Mater Delorosa
Epeekachooooo!
Great song as an intro to Epica. Goodluck going down this rabbit hole :D. To tie it back to Floor, watch Sancta Terra by Epica (featuring Floor Jansen) ua-cam.com/video/cx22Yuj2nzg/v-deo.html
Epieca.😅
Hoezo de klemtoon verkeerd 😂😂
Mocht iemand ooit een coverband willen beginnen dan hebben ze een leuke naam 😀😀
Epic-a ladies not Epeeca. Great friends of Nightwish and sometimes appear on eachothers shows for duets.
🙏🏼👍
its pronounced epic-a like the word epic with an a after it
Strange choice for an introduction to a new band. Why not start off with one of their more typical songs?
Best collaboration: ua-cam.com/video/6T9icH4cg5Q/v-deo.html
