    I could never really get into Epica but the lead singer Simone Simons is a Goddess.

    Ah, sweet Simone...yet another awesome Dutch soprano, and Epica is just incredible.
    Interestingly, Mark Jansen was in After Forever when Floor Jansen (no relation) was in the band way back in the day, before he left and started Epica. And speaking of Floor, when you get back, check out the live vid of Sancta Terra from the Retrospective show that features Floor...you won't be disappointed. The two of them (great friends in real life) are spectacular together.

    Enjoy your trip!!! When you come back you can check them playing live with a symphonic orchestra, the song is called Design your Universe

  • @mikkolaine4883
    @mikkolaine4883 6 років тому +10

    Their name is a tribute to the same titled album by Kamelot (US). Progressive power metal with symphonic elements. You could try their song named Liar Liar. Epica has a bunch of great songs like Design Your Universe, Kingdom of Heaven, The Obsessive Devotion, The Divine Conspiracy, Sancta Terra, Resign to Surrender.

    Epica! I saw them live last year. This song was the best conclusion to the evening. We were in a smaller venue and I was sitting for the show (pregnant belly demanded it) and it was soooo awesome! The people were on fire, there was a mosh pit (?) that took like half the venue, lol. It was too much fun.
    The band, also, was soo good, and I loved the interaction they had with us and with each other, and Coen and Isaac (the keyboardist and guitar player) were doing their usual antics for the whole show, and it was fun to see Coen move with his keyboard. The only thing was that we didn't get to see a whole lot of Arjen, who was hidden by his drums, and Simone's microphone was a bit low, but it was really the best concert ever, with PowerWolf doing a great job energizing the crowd just before Epica came to perform...

    God Mark is my favorite in all their older songs. Now he doesn't have as many. He always added a profound message to their music, was deeper than what we found as her beauty. Epica is powerful music.

    This is great "classic" Epica ... Even this live version shows how much better they've become as a band from back then; And as composers / songwriters, their last two full lengths & EP of original material (Solace System) have been fantastic. Hard to pick favorites off them, but: Second Stone, The Essence Of Silence, Natural Corruption, Edge Of The Blade, Universal Death Squad, Beyond The Matrix, Dancing In A Hurricane, The Holographic Principle - A Profound Understanding Of Reality, The Solace System, and Immortal Melancholy (a full acoustic ballad) would be my suggestions. Cheers!

    This dutch band with also a dutch lead singer simone simons is great, but you also have to listen to 1 of the most beautiful duet ever, by also 2 dutch metal singers by sharon den adel and anneke van giersbergen with the metropole orchestra.

    Great reaction man, new subscriber here ! Epica is just an fantastic band !! Simone vocals in contrast with Mark grows are so well done, besides the rest of the composition of course, classical music fits so well with metal. They're very funny people too. I would like to suggest two songs by them, the first one is The Essence of Silence (official live), it's my favorite by them, it's a song that has the best elements of Epica. And the second one is In All Conscience, Simone's vocals are just fantastic on this one and the lyrics are really cool too

      kreshBACON thanks for subbing dude, glad to have you on board! I’m loving discovering more and new music, both suggestions and through random ‘surfing’ from discovered bands. I’ll be back on Sunday so look out more videos over the weekend and into next week. Cheers, Jim :)

  • @sonjaemery
    @sonjaemery 6 років тому +5

    I saw epica at rock city Nottingham a couple of weeks back and they were mind blowing. You tube does not do them justice.
    This particular track is one of their heaviest and less melodic and they play this and the end of the encore. In general their songs are more melodic and less heavy. Try storm the sorrow or edge of the blade(official videos). I’m a massive Nightwish fan too but I find they are very different apart from the fact they are both symphonic metal but their style is not the same. Thanks for the vid. More Nightwish and Epica please.

    • @evacody1249
      @evacody1249 5 років тому

      It is very melodic. And they close with it because it has everything that Epica is in one song.

    Thought you'd enjoy it, Jim! The name Epica is appropriate, no? I saw them live last year with my son and they were great. Another good live vid is Kingdom of Heaven if you're interested. Hope you have fun hiking in Austria. I used to live in Germany so that was one of my favorite things to do in Bavaria.

    Have a nice vacation! Epica is pretty cool, although I haven't listened to many of their songs. Something I have to do! When you get back, could you react to a band called Avantasia? They are a rock/metal opera project so all their songs are part of a bigger story (although most of them can be enjoyed alone). The guy in charge of it, Tobias Sammet, always voices the protagonist and invites many many guest singers to voice the other characters. The end result is really cool in my opinion, with a lot of variety because of the different singers. I think a good song to start with is the official live DVD version of "The Scarecrow" because it's spectacular. Here's a link to the video ua-cam.com/video/LTyxnUZMA1k/v-deo.html The two singers in this song are Tobias Sammet (the protagonist, referred to as the Scarecrow) and Jorn Lande (Mephistopheles the demon). Whether the demon literally appears or is a figment of the protagonist's mind or is a metaphor is up to individual interpretation. Very interesting, and very exciting to watch! I hope you enjoy it just as much as I do!

    Hi Jim Liked your reaction video. If you want to listen to something different from them you might be intrested in listening to "Once upon a nightmare" . The song itself is based upon an old horrific Nordic fairytale transformed to a Poem by Wolfgang von Goethe (basically the German Shakespeare) called The Erlking (Der Erlkönig) . The musical buildup is like the soundtrack of a movie with of sense forboding of the tragedy about to happen. The story is about a father racing through the night to get help for his sick son. That, in his fever-state, is having visions of a gobling king trying to seduce him to enter the land of the dead. No growling in this song and Simone just sounds devine. The tragic conclusion makes this a piece of art. If you are not having goosebumps by the end of the song i would consult a doctor.. :) Beneath you will find the original version and literal English translation of the poem mentioned. But here the link. ua-cam.com/video/CPgZmfD5E8Q/v-deo.html
    Erlkönig (Goethe 1749 - 1832 )
    Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
    Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind;
    Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm,
    Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.
    "Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?" -
    "Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht?
    Den Erlenkönig mit Kron' und Schweif?" -
    "Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif."
    "Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir!
    Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir;
    Manch' bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand,
    Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand." -
    "Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht,
    Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht?" -
    "Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind;
    In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind." -
    "Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn?
    Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön;
    Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn,
    Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein." -
    "Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort
    Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort?" -
    "Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh' es genau:
    Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau. -"
    "Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt;
    Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch' ich Gewalt." -
    "Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an!
    Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan!" -
    Dem Vater grauset's; er reitet geschwind,
    Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind,
    Erreicht den Hof mit Mühe und Not;
    In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.
    LITERAL TRANSLATION
    Who rides, so late, through night and wind?
    It is the father with his child.
    He has the boy well in his arm
    He holds him safely, he keeps him warm.
    "My son, why do you hide your face in fear?"
    "Father, do you not see the Elf-king?
    The Elf-king with crown and cape?"
    "My son, it's a streak of fog."
    "You dear child, come, go with me!
    (Very) beautiful games I play with you;
    Many colorful flowers are on the beach,
    My mother has many a golden robe."
    "My father, my father, and do you not hear
    What the Elf-king quietly promises me?"
    "Be calm, stay calm, my child;
    Through dry leaves the wind is sighing."
    "Do you, fine boy, want to go with me?
    My daughters shall wait on you finely;
    My daughters lead the nightly dance,
    And rock and dance and sing to bring you in."
    "My father, my father, and don't you see there
    The Elf-king's daughters in the gloomy place?"
    "My son, my son, I see it clearly:
    There shimmer the old willows so grey."
    "I love you, your beautiful form entices me;
    And if you're not willing, then I will use force."
    "My father, my father, he's touching me now!
    The Elf-king has done me harm!"
    It horrifies the father; he swiftly rides on,
    He holds the moaning child in his arms,
    Reaches the farm with great difficulty;
    In his arms, the child was dead.

    thanks so much for posting metal videos of this band of nighwish with Tarja . here in US such music is largely ignored. Always loved their blending of heavy base with her angelic voice, even if the growling in the live performane is a bit much. they remind me so much of rhapsody of fire (minus the distortions) in their epic harmonious style and chorus support.
