Absolutely love how each member of the group here is shown smiling and really enjoying the song. No pseudo "metal" prosing or anything, just musicians enjoying the hell out of something they have created together.
They are posing like every singer does in every musical video in the world (or acting if you prefer that term). Different kind of metal, different kind of pose.
It's just so human. You can see the precise moment each of them actively think about the next part, and then they celebrate nailing it. I wish bands would do more of this style of music/lyric video.
This song does not get enough credit. As a metal fan form the original 4 horseman and someone who Loves loves metal . This band has it all. Metal back ground, great base and drums, keyboard, lead guitar is on point the addition of the death metal voice and the angel of a lead is such the combo and metal man should be frothing over.
I've literally been listening to EPICA since they first came out back when I was in high school. While The Divine Conspiracy is still my favorite album, I still love their new albums and am so glad they are still releasing music. I love Mark's lyrics and songwriting, and of course Simone's singing ability! EPICA sings about issues no one wants to talk about at all. This is part of what makes them so good. They are still my favorite band to this day!
You don't see bands looking like they're enjoying themselves enough. I enjoyed this vid more than I normally would watching a music video cos they look like they're having a blast.
I have to agree and say this even applies to live performances. Up and coming or "smaller" bands need to understand that. They have to enjoy themselves and engage with the public. I have seen many instances where the musicians don't even move around the stage and interact with each other or the public.
Guilherme Juquênzio And that's a great thing! :D The last two Lyric Videos by Equilibrium were little masterpieces in their own kind too, made like music videos :D
OH GOD !! This is so fucking good !! Damn look the sound of the guitars and the drums, it's soooo good, the keybords are so beautiful too. And Simone sings like an angel...And man, look that solo ! Another masterpiece coming ! I can't wait
This 52 year-old lifelong metalhead awoke this morning unaware of an awaiting present on UA-cam from my favorite band of the last 10 years...a new song and video !!! I was able to see them live this past Feb. 2nd in Atlanta, Georgia...and I STILL am smiling at the memory. GREAT BAND...KILLER NEW TUNE... can't wait for the CD to drop..
I like the Song, but it creeped the fuck out of me when I really read the lyrics. How can they just stand there and sing or play that song and enjoying it? 😂😂
One thing always stays at the top of my favourite reasons to love this band. Epica could have been a name easily taken by another group. However if another group did think of it, I suppose they thought of it as too pompous, arrogant, or feared they might not live up to the name. This band didn't and they just gave it and still give the best ...the most EPIC versions of themselves every time they can. That is what makes them great ...not the name itself but what lies behind it: sweat, time, effort, creativity on a grandiose scale. Thank you so much for this upload!
As other stated. They where inspired by Kamelot's Epica album which is the 2nd of a story based off of Faust. March of Mephisto is so bad arse when you got good bass to push with.
"Find your grace in defeat" = "We are your salvation through destruction" So.... Basically the lyrics are written by the Reapers of MassEffect. Universal Deathsquad indeed!!!
The chorus has an absolutely crazy good hook. This is one of those songs as a band, they had to of been sitting there in the booth and when that chorus kicked in, looked at each other and said "oh hell yeah".
Epica sounds like no-one else and no-one sounds like Epica. Hail the new album! Starting off where "Quantum" left off. I like the musicality of this song.
This "lyrics" video has better quality than most "actual" music videos. Well done! Also, the song is INSANE and so uplifting, heavy but catchy in the chorus. So stoked, cannot wait for the album to finally be released
KudRokk since the last album "the quantum enigma" it somehow made me really excited for the upcoming album because I felt like it's going to be even more epic.
+Sarah Nemo You're right Miss Nemo! Quantum was a blast and I've had a lotta fun with it, and still have! But I am always waiting really hard for new Stuff of my Fav Bands! I saw them in January and they announced the new Album ---> that's exactly where it gets frustrating, when you know there's something in the process, but It'll take more than half a year, to be able to hear it 😂😂🤘🏻
KudRokk So true, I get really impatient when it comes to music and new albums 😜 do you like sirenia? I've heard that Ailyn won't continue with them, it's so sad!
+Sarah Nemo Yeah so true! So what shalk we do, to kill time Until the 30th of September? I've got no Idea, but it will be truly hard, perhaps even harder than All games of the DARK SOULS Series 😂😂😂 ! As for Sirenia, I'm sad to tell you, that I'm not really into their songs. I like 2 or 3 very much, but most of their songs just don't catch me 😑
First time seeing this band and I am seriously impressed! Just as I am impressed with seeing Dance with the Dragon from Dark Sarah. That link lead me here as a suggested video to watch. I just don't know what to say! This song is literally a masterpiece! We all need to be thankful for these individuals that they would share their love and passion for musicianship and for letting us have such great music to cherish for a lifetime! You truly are Epic on so many scales! Thank you for all your hard work and I will definitely be looking at your other videos! Love from the USA!
Just listened to THP and once again these guys surpassed themselves, TQE is still my favourite but damn this one is close behind. They are umbeatable when it comes to their niche. Grandiose image, lyric content, musical approach, vocals, marketing, really excited to see them live!
I never thought of Simone as having much belting ability, but I actually really like how her voice sounds here. I love how she is expanding her ability. Contrast this style with the tightly-controlled, almost emotionless way she sang in TPA and it's amazing how much she has evolved.
Good Good. Epica is one of this bands that never disappointed you. I hope this album will be greatest than the last. The Simone's voice is great like always
i was never a fan of this band but i have to say that this record is by far the most superb and neat they've ever released.Both music and lyrics are great. All songs combine perfectly. You finally managed to make me buy one of your albums,Epica ...congratulations :P
They're been fairly consistent for me, definitely not getting better though. The Phantom Agony and Design your Universe were my favs. Cosign to Oblivion and Quantum were also fairly good. But, not a fan of Requiem... at all, and this new song is garbage to me.
Its a masterpiece. It flowed well, and had perfect symmetry, and every song just meshed. Fresh, even still. Oceanborn and Once are also Nightwish's master pieces.
TO me they have stylistic differences. And at the core Nightwish are folk/power metal band. And at the core Epica are a death metal band, with keyboard, backed by an orchestra. But their earlier stuff was orchestra backed by death metal band. Depends on what you enjoy most.
Wow, I came here thinking it would be another dark pop Epica song, but this is actually good in comparation to their last 4 albums, Im kind of surprised, it kind of reminds me to "Design your Universe" which makes me have expectations over this band again, Good! The greatest thing for me is that Simone finally left aside that poppy belting sound and kind of return to her original tone of voice, I really like it. Congrats!
Decided this is one of their best songs ever written. Musically, lyrically. It also has the best bass and guitar tones. and the infectious melody from the vocals and keyboard really contrasts well with the harshness and heaviness.
I remember seeing in an interview awhile back Epica wanted this album heavier with a more raw sound compared to the polished sound on TQE. I think they accomplished that. What's interesting is Simone's voice on this album sounds more like her voice hearing her live. Good stuff!
At first I thought the lyric of this song is on both human's and robot's perspectives and it's kinda confusing at some parts. Recently a friend told me that this song is on robot's perspective only and the lyric is much easier to understand now
I feel like after Requiem, Epica will never disappoint again. This is amazing in all aspects, the riffs, the drums, the mixing, everything. Am I the only one hearing a bit of Nightwish influences in the orchestration parts? Can't wait for the album.
+Meowphistopheles Requiem took a while to grow on me but especially after seeing them pull off the songs on Retrospect the DVD I've come to appreciate it even though it's the weak link between two perfect albums.
Solo quiero comentar que quédense tranquilos, en serio, primero la canción de epica era como un aviso para no caer en eso (si miras sus otras canciones como "Beyond the Matrix" (más allá de la matrix) o de su nuevo álbum omega "The kingdom of heaven 3" (El reino de los cielos parte tres), te vas a dar cuenta que tratan de despertar a la gente. Segundo, usted puede cambiar de línea de tiempo cuando quiera, no caigas en el miedo, porque el miedo hace que vos mismo vayas a esa línea de tiempo, por tu propia voluntad, es como cuando tenes miedo a que algo pase y haces todo lo posible para no terminar ahí, y luego termina pasando, no hay que tener miedo, no caigas en sus trampas, para eso uno tiene que liberarse de todo lo que no es de uno (máscaras, si quiere puede ver un poco de psicología para que entienda) y decir firmemente que queres vivir en un mundo donde haya, no se justicia y muchos animalitos lindos y arbolitos (que se yo lo que quieras) y poco a poco cambiaras de línea de tiempo. El error que tiene la gente es directamente dejarse absorver sin saber qué esa es la trampa (técnicamente voy a colocar este comentario en varios que literalmente dicen ES QUE EL FIN DEL MUNDO ESTA CERCA) Eso es lo que quieren que creas, pero no. Hay que mantenerse firme, usted puede cambiar de línea de tiempo, siempre. Suerte, que cuando menos lo esperes todos ellos van a caer. Recomiendo leer la "Ley del uno El material de Ra" , o un canal que me gusta mucho de "Lorena la bruja filosófica" o "Gaia despierta" (esta en español, pero creo que tiene subtitulos y la ley del uno, el material de ra, su idioma original es el inglés y también cuenta con traducción al español, pdf gratuito en Llresearch
Tambien el libro de "El Kybalion" te enseña a como cambiar de realidad Also the book "The Kybalion: Hermetic Philosophy" they teach you how you can change your reality
I really love how the orchestra music is working with the band, creating a complex yet fresh song. Twenty-tens was really a great decade for music. Nowadays, it is all just synthesized in computer to make music cheap, prefabricated for general folk. I really miss this 2010's aesthetics when bands would really hire orchestras to accompany them.
I have to say, for me this song style sounds much better than their last album, if 'THE HOLOGRAPHIC PRINCIPLE' is just like this, this will be a masterpiece. Nice song.
Love this band. Epica and Simon are insanely talented. Bring on the new album and tour, hope they aren't diluted by an army of bands. Headliners, full set, same fire I'd expect in Europe here in the US.
Break out the heavy guns...the robots are a coming! I love the subject behind the song..run away technology. With today's dawn of the age of AI, mankind faces a grave danger like never before. And the saddest thing is mankind's ignorance of what he has created. Kudos to the group, and simone..I love this song!
Obra maestra, recuerdo bien que conocí a la banda un mes antes de su estreno debido a que vinieron a México en el Hell & Heaven 2016 y quedé impactado con su música y después escuche de inmediato está canción cuando se estreno. Iba entrando a la prepa. Buenos recuerdos. Parce como su fue ayer o en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.
@@ariannegift5755 Oh yeah true :) I think they don't really have bad songs. And I would have problem to pick Top 10. Just their ballads alone are best I've ever heard from any metal band. Not that I know all bands of course, but damn... Epica is incredible.
Almost every metal band now focuses on this ... like Stratovarius, Kerion, Nightwish, Rhapsody ... we don't need any more. I personally don't like when bands focus mostly on "humanity problems", I don't feel like we're slaves to technology, nor that we're so close-minded and afraid of our true nature. I enjoy Epica mostly for the music and the impressive soprano. :)
True. That's the reason for my love for power metal and folk metal, they just sign what they like(fantasy stuff) and don't force themselves to sign something to look cool or depressed.
This song is awesome! I still have goosebumps 2 years after its release. Arien is killing it with the drums, Isaac is so great with the solo and with his smile! Mark is always adding his watermark with the growls (love it), Coen and Robb always on the spot and super technical and Simone improved A LOT with those killer notes! Now that's a difficult song to sing, I can say!!! I also love her robot make up, so cool!!!
Marze Umaña i guess that is the succes of Epica , they like to get on stage and play to make the crowd happy and smiling , see them 6 times and never dissapoint me! one of the best live bands of this moment !!!
probably the only band that's ever had so much to say with their lyrics while never sounding preachy, who in the hell could read those lyrics and turn it into a good song, nearly impossible, but they pull it off, when I first started listening to them I barely caught any of the lyrics of their songs, then I found out how deep their lyrics were and I was blown away, the music itself doesn't even need such powerful lyrics, but like George Jones said "why you're happy you enjoy the music and when you're sad you understand the lyrics"
Absolutely love how each member of the group here is shown smiling and really enjoying the song. No pseudo "metal" prosing or anything, just musicians enjoying the hell out of something they have created together.
Same feeling here!
Its awesome to see that.
They are posing like every singer does in every musical video in the world (or acting if you prefer that term). Different kind of metal, different kind of pose.
they enjoing judjement day
Yes, because they'r in love of Jesoos
I love how much fun they're having
Me too :)
It's just so human. You can see the precise moment each of them actively think about the next part, and then they celebrate nailing it. I wish bands would do more of this style of music/lyric video.
+LimeZProductions You took the words out of my mouth
I agree :)
dethklok has taught us that fun results in shitty music
This song does not get enough credit. As a metal fan form the original 4 horseman and someone who Loves loves metal . This band has it all. Metal back ground, great base and drums, keyboard, lead guitar is on point the addition of the death metal voice and the angel of a lead is such the combo and metal man should be frothing over.
nevermind explaining how the world actually works in basically every song. no wonder mainstream channels dont want anything to do with them
I've literally been listening to EPICA since they first came out back when I was in high school. While The Divine Conspiracy is still my favorite album, I still love their new albums and am so glad they are still releasing music. I love Mark's lyrics and songwriting, and of course Simone's singing ability! EPICA sings about issues no one wants to talk about at all. This is part of what makes them so good. They are still my favorite band to this day!
" EPICA sings about issues no one wants to talk about at all."
They might be the new Moody Blues.
You don't see bands looking like they're enjoying themselves enough. I enjoyed this vid more than I normally would watching a music video cos they look like they're having a blast.
I have to agree and say this even applies to live performances. Up and coming or "smaller" bands need to understand that. They have to enjoy themselves and engage with the public. I have seen many instances where the musicians don't even move around the stage and interact with each other or the public.
I am over and over again how these guys call it a "Lyric Video" and it's still more of a music video than most "Music Videos" out there :D
nuclear blast lyric videos are as produced as a music video haha
Guilherme Juquênzio And that's a great thing! :D The last two Lyric Videos by Equilibrium were little masterpieces in their own kind too, made like music videos :D
at least you can still read the lyrics
most official lyric videos from metal bands are completely unreadable :P
rondowar Yeah that's true :D
Depends on the genre in general, but yes :D
to be honest I always like simple music videos
OH GOD !! This is so fucking good !!
Damn look the sound of the guitars and the drums, it's soooo good, the keybords are so beautiful too. And Simone sings like an angel...And man, look that solo !
Another masterpiece coming ! I can't wait
youre right !!
+Jan “Dreejavu” Dreeser XD
marilyn manson yes!!! not this church crap with a wannabe marilyn all TRACKS sound the same SHIT CHURCH GOODIE GOODIES
Are you serious? How do you come up with this comparison? Go
I think you meant to say Simone is an angel. hahaha
This 52 year-old lifelong metalhead awoke this morning unaware of an awaiting present on UA-cam from my favorite band of the last 10 years...a new song and video !!! I was able to see them live this past Feb. 2nd in Atlanta, Georgia...and I STILL am smiling at the memory. GREAT BAND...KILLER NEW TUNE... can't wait for the CD to drop..
This is the most interesting band in decades, and Simones vocals beats it all in a stunning beauty
7 years ago looks like 1 year ago
Absolutely 🔥🤘
Time walking ao fast human walking too slow
That's what we call quality.
Well folks, it finally happened: Epica wrote a song about the dangers of Skynet
First thing I thought of :D
same here :D "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" were the first thing that came to my mind!
this is not about skynet but about what is going on the world now NWO
I like the Song, but it creeped the fuck out of me when I really read the lyrics. How can they just stand there and sing or play that song and enjoying it? 😂😂
dude same lol sounds like some end times type stuff and they're totally ready to face God
One thing always stays at the top of my favourite reasons to love this band. Epica could have been a name easily taken by another group. However if another group did think of it, I suppose they thought of it as too pompous, arrogant, or feared they might not live up to the name.

That is what makes them great ...not the name itself but what lies behind it: sweat, time, effort, creativity on a grandiose scale. Thank you so much for this upload!
They actually took the name Epica from Kamelot though ;)
+Daisylove76 well that i did not know. thank you for the info.
There is a Kamelot album named Epica.
look at metallum metal archives you will see there are six or seven bands named Epica
As other stated. They where inspired by Kamelot's Epica album which is the 2nd of a story based off of Faust. March of Mephisto is so bad arse when you got good bass to push with.
"Find your grace in defeat" = "We are your salvation through destruction"
So.... Basically the lyrics are written by the Reapers of MassEffect.
Universal Deathsquad indeed!!!
I feel more akin to Guardians Of The Galaxy.
GRITO
Robotic legions...I'm thinking more Geth :p
+LifeForBass well we already have drones and robots that can walk. It's only a matter of time before soldiers are living beings no more.
I'm just thinking of Skynet
this video is like a hardcore Pantene commercial :D
Cassandra Teal this comment made me smile irl
hahahahaha I can't
Cassandra Teal Amaranthe is worse :)
Eu entendi a referência huehuehue
Cassandra Teal I wish I had hair like that
The part "I am foreveeeer" it's the best part. Epic!
Epica NEVER disappoints!
NEVER
the name is self evident maam
Never × 2
Never never and never
The chorus has an absolutely crazy good hook. This is one of those songs as a band, they had to of been sitting there in the booth and when that chorus kicked in, looked at each other and said "oh hell yeah".
Ikr
That sounds nowhere than metal but god damn it’s catchy
Epica never disapoints.
really? I think the last album was one of few good albums they made
I feel like Requiem For The Indifferent was a disappointment. Their worst album, imo. But this sounds amazing.
True, it is the weakest album, but also has its high points.
+Lyric Poet I don't know. monopoly on the truth was good.
+Lyric Poet and storm the sorrow
Honestly, what makes this great is the fact that it looks like they all LOVE their job and our gaving so much fun :).
Epica sounds like no-one else and no-one sounds like Epica. Hail the new album! Starting off where "Quantum" left off. I like the musicality of this song.
Everything I wanted and more. Epica never disappoint!
Literally true. I can't think of a single bad release... must be some sort of black magic?
more like redhead magic)
I totally love it!
Magic no, it's the power of Heavy Metal.
I think Requiem for the indifferent seems too weak after Design your universe.
This "lyrics" video has better quality than most "actual" music videos. Well done!
Also, the song is INSANE and so uplifting, heavy but catchy in the chorus. So stoked, cannot wait for the album to finally be released
This is one of those songs that should be in the setlist EVERYTIME.
2024 y no e perdido el encanto de sus musicas💯💯❤🔥
Hace 7 años, yo empezaba de Profesor rural y con mis audífonos llegaba a la comunidad con esta obra de arte. 7 años pasan muy rapido
I'm so excited for the album!
Me too! Been waiting long for this!!!
KudRokk since the last album "the quantum enigma" it somehow made me really excited for the upcoming album because I felt like it's going to be even more epic.
+Sarah Nemo You're right Miss Nemo! Quantum was a blast and I've had a lotta fun with it, and still have! But I am always waiting really hard for new Stuff of my Fav Bands!

KudRokk So true, I get really impatient when it comes to music and new albums 😜 do you like sirenia? I've heard that Ailyn won't continue with them, it's so sad!
+Sarah Nemo Yeah so true! So what shalk we do, to kill time Until the 30th of September? I've got no Idea, but it will be truly hard, perhaps even harder than All games of the DARK SOULS Series 😂😂😂 ! As for Sirenia, I'm sad to tell you, that I'm not really into their songs. I like 2 or 3 very much, but most of their songs just don't catch me 😑
It's worth remembering that we are not cold and steady machines.. Keep our hearts and feelings open! Thank you epica.
Now THIS is how you do a video, can't wait for the album!!!
First time seeing this band and I am seriously impressed! Just as I am impressed with seeing Dance with the Dragon from Dark Sarah. That link lead me here as a suggested video to watch. I just don't know what to say! This song is literally a masterpiece! We all need to be thankful for these individuals that they would share their love and passion for musicianship and for letting us have such great music to cherish for a lifetime! You truly are Epic on so many scales! Thank you for all your hard work and I will definitely be looking at your other videos! Love from the USA!
Seamos sinceros. Épica tiene la combinación perfecta entre la delicadeza y la fuerza del metal gótico . Gracias Épica!!!!!
Much more progressive than their lasts albums.
Epica is at their best when they incorporate progressive elements into their music. Needless to say I am really excited for this album!
Definitely a good thing!
I've always thought that RFTI was by far their best album. Although maybe I'm just biased since I'm a big prog fan.
maybe it's because simone's husband, holy lord akerfeldt
Huskope Shroud w0t mate?
Nunca me dejan de sorprender y agradar, grandes musicos, grande su musica, EXCELENTE MUJER, la mejor maldita banda de metal sinfónico.
Parece música de pawer ranger
Just listened to THP and once again these guys surpassed themselves, TQE is still my favourite but damn this one is close behind. They are umbeatable when it comes to their niche. Grandiose image, lyric content, musical approach, vocals, marketing, really excited to see them live!
just wish they came to Athens, Greece!!!!!! we love them soo much here!!!!!!! \/ love from \/ 3 N U 55 \/
Last 2 albums have been genre-defining 10/10 albums.
This is incredible. Vocally and musically, with a killer guitar solo at the end. What a band.
I never thought of Simone as having much belting ability, but I actually really like how her voice sounds here. I love how she is expanding her ability. Contrast this style with the tightly-controlled, almost emotionless way she sang in TPA and it's amazing how much she has evolved.
"i am forever the snake devouring its tail... in search for eternity..."
Just wow
Café e Ciência EPICA tem mesmo muuitos fãs das terrasTupiniquins, até o Café e Ciência.
Café e Ciência its because Ouroboros only rhymes with a few words... Lol
Newsflash? That's humanity.
It's called the ourobouros. Read and research.
Archons
Annunaki
Enki
Draconians
Cuando Épica deje de hacer música, voy a llorar muy fuerte!
Oh me too!!!!!! UGH
Is unbelievable how Simone can be THAT beautiful.
Epica's like... one of the few symphonic metal bands that's still good after 15 years and they keep staying fresh!
i love it when Simone smiles as she sings.
Good Good. Epica is one of this bands that never disappointed you. I hope this album will be greatest than the last. The Simone's voice is great like always
i was never a fan of this band but i have to say that this record is by far the most superb and neat they've ever released.Both music and lyrics are great. All songs combine perfectly. You finally managed to make me buy one of your albums,Epica ...congratulations :P
4:44 best part she has an amazing voice
I love videos like this where all musicians shows how they're having so much fun, and that they love what they do :')
EPICA is the best Metal Band in the World !
*Epica After Forever!!!*
Cannot wait for this album. A friend said it last night, Epica gets better and better with each release.
its gonna be tough for them to surpass The Quantum Enigma, that album was a masterpiece, but i wont be suprised if they can, they are an amazing band
They're been fairly consistent for me, definitely not getting better though. The Phantom Agony and Design your Universe were my favs. Cosign to Oblivion and Quantum were also fairly good. But, not a fan of Requiem... at all, and this new song is garbage to me.

TO me they have stylistic differences. And at the core Nightwish are folk/power metal band. And at the core Epica are a death metal band, with keyboard, backed by an orchestra. But their earlier stuff was orchestra backed by death metal band. Depends on what you enjoy most.
I would call Epica symphonic metal, because of the symphonies, and the keyboard, with the orchestra and choir.
4:54 The guitarist!!!!! WhAT a CUTE voice!!!!!!
lol
Wow, I came here thinking it would be another dark pop Epica song, but this is actually good in comparation to their last 4 albums, Im kind of surprised, it kind of reminds me to "Design your Universe" which makes me have expectations over this band again, Good!

As great as you can expect from Epica.
La letra es espeluznante 😮 me gusta cuando canta con ese tono tipo opera ❤
Da pra sentir a emoção dessa música. Caraca que arranjo! Trabalho lindo e harmonioso.
Falou tudo irmão
power, speed, and symphonic, all in one.. :D NOICE
"robotic fans stand in line to carry out the album" ... well i cant wait. want it NOW
this song improves with time like the good wine.
And the lyrics are more deep and intelligent of what they seem at first sight.
At first I thought the lyric of this song is on both human's and robot's perspectives and it's kinda confusing at some parts.
Recently a friend told me that this song is on robot's perspective only and the lyric is much easier to understand now
Simone is so damn cute in this video
yes :c
When isn't she
in this video only?!... :P
*every video.
The whole band is cute as hell
"I am forever the snake devouring its tail
In search of eternity"... I still can't believe these thoughts...
Love this song!
For me The Holographic Principle is the best album! Even better than Design Your Universe.
I feel like after Requiem, Epica will never disappoint again. This is amazing in all aspects, the riffs, the drums, the mixing, everything. Am I the only one hearing a bit of Nightwish influences in the orchestration parts? Can't wait for the album.
both are symphonic metal. of course there are similarities
You didn't like Requiem? Honestly that was the album that made me really love Epica. It might not be their best in retrospect, but I honestly love it.
+Meowphistopheles Requiem took a while to grow on me but especially after seeing them pull off the songs on Retrospect the DVD I've come to appreciate it even though it's the weak link between two perfect albums.
Meowphistopheles I liked a few songs, but as a whole I felt it was lacking in my opinion.
Hilary Helena That's fair. To each their own!
I love the way they have so much fun when performing.
Solo quiero comentar que quédense tranquilos, en serio, primero la canción de epica era como un aviso para no caer en eso (si miras sus otras canciones como "Beyond the Matrix" (más allá de la matrix) o de su nuevo álbum omega "The kingdom of heaven 3" (El reino de los cielos parte tres), te vas a dar cuenta que tratan de despertar a la gente.

Nowadays, it is all just synthesized in computer to make music cheap, prefabricated for general folk. I really miss this 2010's aesthetics when bands would really hire orchestras to accompany them.
🤣🤣 you sound old. Authentic music is still out there and will always be
And you sound like a someone who doesn't get the joke..
I love their stagemanship. Aside from the great music, they can also express it in their performance. It's really amazing.
I have to say, for me this song style sounds much better than their last album, if 'THE HOLOGRAPHIC PRINCIPLE' is just like this, this will be a masterpiece. Nice song.

Another Masterpiece from Epica!!
This song was very epic. It had a symphonic metal sound to it. All the instruments sounded great, including the vocalist!
Love this band. Epica and Simon are insanely talented. Bring on the new album and tour, hope they aren't diluted by an army of bands. Headliners, full set, same fire I'd expect in Europe here in the US.
Listening to this while playing Horizon Zero Dawn seems fitting xD
There's no band that comes even remotely close to the brillant songwriting of Epica ❤
Break out the heavy guns...the robots are a coming! I love the subject behind the song..run away technology. With today's dawn of the age of AI, mankind faces a grave danger like never before. And the saddest thing is mankind's ignorance of what he has created. Kudos to the group, and simone..I love this song!
Just fantastic. I really love the flow of this one. Unique and powerful.
Obra maestra, recuerdo bien que conocí a la banda un mes antes de su estreno debido a que vinieron a México en el Hell & Heaven 2016 y quedé impactado con su música y después escuche de inmediato está canción cuando se estreno. Iba entrando a la prepa. Buenos recuerdos. Parce como su fue ayer o en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.

Precious Metal Trove epic for great song
AlexViking88 ᛒᛆᛚᚴᚤᚱᚼᛆ cheers babe :)
+Precious Metal Trove I just found a good band because of you! Path To Destiny! 😀 Thank you!
u must be religious ? epic shit yes all sounds the fucking same
This band really fits their name. Everything is just epic!
I just had the best visual/listening experience of my life.
First time Epica? :)
@@cancelled_user no, we did covers of Epica way back but this song, in my humble opinion, is one of their bests. Everything about this song is superb!
@@ariannegift5755 Oh yeah true :) I think they don't really have bad songs. And I would have problem to pick Top 10. Just their ballads alone are best I've ever heard from any metal band. Not that I know all bands of course, but damn... Epica is incredible.
esse é o gás que faltava na minha vida
this song makes me smile
the rythm is just so fun
love it!
6 minutes with 43 seconds of powerfull metal energy. EPICA is a beast in the scene.
Oh my gosh, I didn't liked at first but after several playings I can say that this song is AMAZING! Excellent work Epica.
A Melhor banda de Symphonic Metal do mundo
HAIL EPICA!
Their lyric videos are always more than "Lyric videos"
Good song and lyrics. More bands should be concerned with the future of humanity.
i know right?
Listen to this band /watch?v=p2kcnd8Lo3c
listen to vektors newest album
Almost every metal band now focuses on this ... like Stratovarius, Kerion, Nightwish, Rhapsody ... we don't need any more. I personally don't like when bands focus mostly on "humanity problems", I don't feel like we're slaves to technology, nor that we're so close-minded and afraid of our true nature. I enjoy Epica mostly for the music and the impressive soprano. :)
True. That's the reason for my love for power metal and folk metal, they just sign what they like(fantasy stuff) and don't force themselves to sign something to look cool or depressed.
Just one the best bands in this era around the whole world!! lml
This song is awesome! I still have goosebumps 2 years after its release. Arien is killing it with the drums, Isaac is so great with the solo and with his smile! Mark is always adding his watermark with the growls (love it), Coen and Robb always on the spot and super technical and Simone improved A LOT with those killer notes! Now that's a difficult song to sing, I can say!!! I also love her robot make up, so cool!!!
Jesus Christ this band is way more amazing than I expected
Seems like we share a similar name.....

@Vapid Nonsence What are you even talking about???
@Vapid Nonsence that's a whole lot of words to not say anything intelligent
The original commenteer is basically saying they have no bad songs. Wow. Vapid Nonsense (Well, that's apt) - Ever hear of projection?
@@Monty-or9sb OMG it just registered with me what his name is. Could be an elaborate troll. If so, fair play.
@Vapid Nonsence Maybe click on "read more" before you comment next time hahahaha
All hail Isaac! 5:16
He's always having so much fun and he's like a very very very good guitarist & he's awesome :P
Marze Umaña i guess that is the succes of Epica , they like to get on stage and play to make the crowd happy and smiling , see them 6 times and never dissapoint me! one of the best live bands of this moment !!!
Nası ya?
probably the only band that's ever had so much to say with their lyrics while never sounding preachy, who in the hell could read those lyrics and turn it into a good song, nearly impossible, but they pull it off, when I first started listening to them I barely caught any of the lyrics of their songs, then I found out how deep their lyrics were and I was blown away, the music itself doesn't even need such powerful lyrics, but like George Jones said "why you're happy you enjoy the music and when you're sad you understand the lyrics"
Love it so much. How can they always sing unusual words for a song? Beautiful.
This song really impressed me. Nice work guys!
This is basically a song about the backstory of Terminator
I mean I love the Terminator series, but Id stan the hell out of it if they covered the score for a Terminator film.
@@R0mbVs stan? The fuck is that?
Epica's music is perfect for workout. It's so motivating ❤
BAM! another brilliant Epica song. Fills me with joy.
world class musicians, each one a master of their craft!
This is breathtaking
