- I will keep this short, this song shows so much of what Epica is capable of and loved for in the perfect way.
Operatic singing, beautiful melodies, choir, heavy growls and riffs, executed to perfection in this live performance.
It's just EPIC(A)..., sorry.

Hoping for a quiet song? 😂.
Want a calmer and beautiful song? EPICA - Rivers (Live at the AFAS). Another amazing song 😁. And they are featuring Apocalyptica.
Next song Kingdom of heaven part 1 & 3 (omega alive show 🤟)
"I hope it is going to be a quiet one .."
Yep ..
@@nebulajumper6216 famous last words…
@kaNjiXIII Haha yes. Kinda 😁
I do love the enjoyment on your face with every new discovery.
The most beautiful and mesmerizing ballad EPICA released is called "Tides Of Time". Ones you've heard this masterpiece, you will fully agree with me. I will send you the following link: ua-cam.com/video/sn765tJuaoE/v-deo.htmlsi=hfMeJT-AJv4956O6
When I was diagnosed with tinitus and got on the car this was the first song spotify played, you never forget…
if you are interested listen to the studio version of this song it is different. in the studio version Simone is not singing as high in the chorus as in the live version. but it is the live version that gives a rollercoaster feeling when listening, from Simone’s very high note to the very bottom with mark's growling, this break down after each chorus is masterfully done well. well and the main break down and the solo after it is my favorite part of the song.
another short but heavy and fast song is "victims of contingency", it has a video clip in which Simone looks great, and there is a version from the online covid concert "omega alive" in 2021.
but if you want to listen to something more atmospheric and cool, then this is "ascension dream state armageddon" official lyric video (with concert footage, very well done) - this song just blows your mind in 5 minutes. I really like Simone's vocals in it, it's.. a bit sinister. And that black metal breakdown is just 😈
One of their best ballads is Once Upon a Nightmare from the Omega Alive concert. Simone's voice is perfection. You definitely need to listen to Kingdom of Heaven Parts 1 and 3 from Omega Alive for 2 of their most complete pieces.
Yep I couldn't agree more - the transition out of that guitar solo is seamless. Next I want to suggest either Chasing the Dragon (Live Retrospect) or Rivers featuring Apocalyptica. Both have Simone's vocals more prominent, but Chasing the Dragon is a bit more of a rollercoaster.
Her mic stand is shaped as the letter S......Simone Simons 😁
FML, if that's true, it's the best and dumbest thing I ever heard and I love it. That's so good hahaha
Great Reaction! My favorite "heavy" Epica song. I love the way Simone's voice just flows and swells and teh choir's are just fantastic. For something more quiet but a little off the usual path is the song Solitary Ground. A beautiful ballad from their second album. About two years ago Epica released remastered versions of alot of their early music videos so make sure you look for the remastered version. ua-cam.com/video/NxFAyqjm3h0/v-deo.htmlsi=iUHQeyeTlkU7olca. Released in 2005 you get to see a very young Simone ( I think she was about 20). The video is so beautiful but I also love this acoustic performance from Pinkpop in 2010. ua-cam.com/video/ERQmengyF1I/v-deo.htmlsi=P0hTaHt48LHi8pf_ This is a remastered version of their 4 song acoustic performance by Metallwish who does really high quality work. The performance is on an intimate small stage during the festival. It starts with Tides of Time, one of their most beautiful ballads and a song I have already picked to be played at my funeral. Solitary Ground is second (5:35). Followed by Quietus (10:50) and This is the Time (15:10).
The song is about silencing the voices in your head. Music written by the drummer, Arien Van Weesenbeek, the lyrics I think were written by Simone.
I know you said you were hoping for a quieter one, but watching your face light up when the guitars came in was everything! The Essence of Silence is absolutely one of my favorite songs from their discography. It just has a perfect balance of everything. Your comment about 9 years ago being 2008 is also so real 😭
If you do wanna hear some “quieter” ones though, there’s Rivers (live at AFAS live ft Apocalyptica), Tides of Time, and Dreamscape-this acoustic version is my particular favorite ua-cam.com/video/ZhYoIZOBBgU/v-deo.htmlsi=_iuLPhQ5BWPyAxs8
Hey man, i really like your reaction videos. Congrats!
Maybe you should check out Epica - Once Upon a Nightmare (Omega Live). I can assure that you're really gonna love it
By the way, the mice-stand, of course the “S” from Simone Simons…
Should do one from their first album
Variability?)) Continue and you will even hear jazz performed by them and much more 😁
