Epica shows once again how talented they are. Fantastic instrumentals and Simone is great as always, I hope they never change the main vocalist! This is exactly how symphonic metal should be like. Not pop-rock like many other sympho bands have turned into. I hope they keep going in this path. Symphonic, Beautiful yet Brutal.

its actually very negative music. makes me miss cannibal corpse type stuff . the star of david on their new album might explain this more if not at the very least who allows them to be famous an writes their cheques
Seems highly unlikely to happen to a band like Epica, where the lead singer has such an important role in writing all their songs. Something really bad must happen to Simone for her to leave. Don't forget she was sick for quite a few months. They didn't kick her out, they only temporarily let Amanda Somerville fill in the gap during live shows. Plus she and Mark dated during the first and second album. They broke up, but they didn't kick her out. No bad blood there at all. Usually only happens when there's bad blood after break-ups or unanswered love between two members of the band like Nightwish or Trail of Tears. @Joey Congi they really start to get heavy from the album "Design your Universe" on. The first two albums have a slightly more classical music focus. The Divine Conspiracy is a great bridge towards the more heavy Epica. But all their songs are great. I particularly like the 'Requiem for the Indifferent' album and 'The Holographic Principle'. There are some major gems on there!
YYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! Best Epica video till date!! I love that it represents the band visually as it does musically, and without any clichés, this is actually very beautiful and very well done!. I would have loved to see more of Coen, Isaac, Ariën and Rob, but I understand there's not enough time to show what the story is about. Also, MAJOR PROPS for choosing a METAL song that is mostly grunts!!! I was so happy with Storm The Sorrow because you didn't cut Mark's part out to make it perhaps "poppier" or "commercial". This shows what Epica really is! So thanks for staying metal! Much love from Colombia ♥
That's so true! I prefer songs where Mark grunts and it's a shame that they cut that part from The Phantom Agony video. I'm so satisfied with this song and video!
A real fan is someone who loves the creations of the band and still givin support to them, as you´ve said...we are growing with them. A real fan grows with the band, that´s what characterize an EPICAN.... FOREVER AND EVER. :)
Actually they're turning for the worse. A real fan also knows when to let a band go, and I think this is a pretty good time. They haven't delivered a solid album for quite a while. The bond is not unbreakable if the band decides to leave their greatness behind and abandon their loyal listeners by not doing their job. I'll stick to their earlier and actual good work.
Pagnah I'd say, everyone is free to do what they want. "A real fan" ... what's a real fan first? if one wants to listen, he's free, if he doesn,'t he's free too. we don't have all to think the same
Rêve Errance Well, what I was trying to say is that evolution is part of the band and if you want ,you can grow with them, i mean if you want the band to be part of your phylosophy you can do it, i didn´t wanted to everyone understand that if they don´t like new songs they´re no more epica fans, i just was trying to make emphasis about the evolution of the band ;)
Always getting better! Hmm, this video maybe my favourite so far I believe! Simone dressed as freedom...opening the cages...freeing the animals and there he goes the hunter...hunted...on the ground... awesome!
This is my favourite song in The Quantum Enigma, it's so fucking strong and raw.... The video is EXCELENT, way better than what I was expecting! Hope you guys make some more videos, there are a lot of interesting concepts you can explore with the amazing lyrics from the new album! See you guys in Argentina next year :)
@@pineycolada3075 got that right, I even call out her arrogance in her posts, yes she's hot and she's a good singer but to think she's a godess that's being a simp, sure I compliment the singers sometimes when I think they look fine but I dont spend all my time doing that
This is absolutely AMAZING!!! I'm so shocked, I wasn't expecting them to use this song for the video at all. I was expecting Omen or Natural Corruption, but no they use the most intense song on the album. Totally blown away, best Epica video to date! What makes it even better is that we get a video that showcases Mark! Yes, just yes. No. Not yes. YAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
From :"You're the night, so you are the dark side of the day you'll never see" (Mother of Light) To: "If you blame all your failures someone else, without any remorse" It has definitely changed, It is not the topics but the way they are written.
The day I first heard Epica...later that day I went and watched a music video. Seeing the most beautiful woman in the world singing with the most beautiful voice on top of a full orchestra literally blew my mind so much I could barely walk for a day after
This song feels more like symphonic power metal when compared to the last two albums, which I thought had a slower pace to them. Like always, I love it.
Absolute msterpiece! So good to see a video where the band member are not actually playing a long the song!!!!! Simone is breathtakingly beautiful, by the way!
The way this band has evolved is just beyond me! Though, personally, I would have liked the album to show Simone's operatic range differently, I am very happy with it and cannot stop listening to it! Can't wait to hear what comes next--I want more!
Epica will always be the best band with the best harmony and material mixing all the sounds together to come up with a special and unique music.in each album there is a difference and a special style that makes them better than all others in what they do.
And if you think their style of music is the same.. Listen to other music bands. I think They have improved their music rythm. Nowadays, which band has the same melody as the beginning ? I consider that no one. Every year comes something different.. And in my personal point of view it is a good thing. I love Epica till the end no matter what comes.
I agree with you, they are awesome, I do not know why some people say all their songs sound the same, because this video is amazing, the song has much rythm and Simone looks better than never. I love this band.
Absolutely love it. Doesn't get old and still love the message; and it's a shame many people hating on songs that "sound the same" can't remember, they made, sang and produced these songs with a certain intention and are the SAME people; if you can't enjoy it, don't bring down the ones who can or bash on their taste. Maybe you need to try and write songs because I'm sure many people whining have a hard time carrying a tune like them, and would be lucky to be a one hit wonder. If people can't enjoy the sounds, the voices, the video and the overall message, it's ok. There are always songs you hear and go "uuhhh really?" but you move on.
I am honestly in shock over this song. I have been listening to Epica for longer than I can even remember and they have always seemed very dull to me. The only reason to ever really listen to them was Simone, who I only even liked because of Kamelot. But now they have taken their music to a new level, the whole composition is written in a very progressive sense and instrumentally they are interesting to listen to where as years ago everything was typical and bland. Even better than that is Mark's vocals, where I couldn't even stand to listen to his growls in the past, the overall tone and approach he has taken on this new album is miles above what he used to do. This is fucking awesome.
+Anthony Pence No they are not Opeth are a progressive metal band. They are a mix of Queensryche, progressive rock bands like Camel, Pink Floyed or yes with Extreme metal elements mixed in. I really don't like death metal but love Opeth. Opeth albums before Still life (my favourite Opeth album) had a black metal influence but everything after Still life does not. When I saw Opth live in 2007 they played one of their songs influenced by black metal and Mikael said the song was stupid and had stupid lyrics and that the crowd to just ignore them which made me laugh.
nuclear blast seems to be a real good record company, I've seen they have a lot of good bands. I epica, they are going to be here live in America in my state in october, I am so trying to get someone to come with me, elevuite and the Agonist are opening up, omg what a show
Yes, now a days most record labels suck, they censor almost everything, Nuclear Blast don't censor nothing, plus many bands now a days are moving to Nuclear makes it an awesome record.
My favorite song of the album. That video couldnt be more proper to the song but the problem is that this song is pretty brutal and you know an alive song! But the more song is energetic and Mark is energetic and dynamic, the more Simone is stable and draggy...
I don't understand how someone can stop loving a band because they try new things. I personally can't stand it when I get the same album over and over from an artist. I want them to try new things and grow as musicians, and I feel Epica did an amazing job with this album because it's something new, but at the same time, It's still Epica, and personally I think this album is by far their best. It's just better in every aspect compared to a lot of their old stuff. The only thing I think that has come even close to this is Design Your Universe.
I didn't like this album at first because to me it sounded the same, but after listening to the songs fully one by one, it grew on me and now I love it. It's like they adopt a new style to the way they play the guitar, the drum, the symphony and the choir on every songs of the album, that's why it kinda sound the same, but each song is definitely different. I think you just have to give it a chance and "know" them, then I bet you'll love it. Listen to the songs one by one carefully and don't fast forward or skip it!
it happen same to me.. didn't like it at first but now i love it.. but in my opinion it would have be better if they didn't use to much the choir on this album.. it kinda get annoying lol
Angel Leon Yeah, the choir can be a bit overwhelming. I wish they put the intro riff again somewhere in the middle or toward the end of the song. Can't stop listening. :)
No me va mucho la voz de mark talvez si hace una banda que cante el solo ya que en mayan tambien esta acompañado de cantantes liricos igual me gusta la banda y Simone es Simone es toda una Diva y Mark creo que siempre fue tratado con dignidad gracias a el se fundo esta banda y el hace los guturales le da la ventaja de no solo captar publico rockero normal o del pop sino para que a epica la escuchen tambien seguidores del black y death metal si la gente conociera mas a esta banda podrian lograr unir gente metalera de los mas clasicos y los mas extremos,del rock y del pop mas light.
During Hellfest, Mark Jansen asked the audience how many had actually purchased their latest CD; no more than fifty arms raised. What a shame. Piracy against bubble gum pop, I don't care, but cheating on Epica, come on, guys, a CD is not that expensive. You are forcing the band to tour and tour; the more they tour, the less they can concentrate in doing the superb music they have made. So next time please buy their CD.
+Ricardo Martinez To be honest, I was somewhat disappointed with that album. Then again, I am not the biggest fan of the earlier albums and my personal favourite, Requiem For The Indifferent wasn't so well recieved. Anyway, I certainly won't buy their next album without listening into it first. If it gets more progressive and complex again or they shift in a direction I like, I will buy it though. I 100% agree that one should support the artists one likes.
+Ricardo Martinez You are right! I really like to have the physical albums...it's a pleasure, but you know, little profit from the album purchases really goes to the bands now...the record companies!!!!!! And I'm suffering a bit right here with this...I was living in a rented room and my landlord entered it one time and took things indiscriminately.... I even had "The Score" ... I had signed things!!!!! Signed albums even from KORN from when I was really young... Fortunately. Epica are easy going people and easy to be with and an album that he left behind "The Obsessive Devotion" was signed again...I only have three albums from Epica now! I had countless CDs . . . countless! Books...countless! Vinyl . . . a little tv my grandpa gave me, I don't even watch tv...but it was my grandpa's.... My father's Zippo...All I had from my father!!!!!!!!!!! A lighter...my gosh!!!!!! And fortunately my bass and my bagpipes weren't there nor other percussion instruments from the band, I was out playing and the bass was with a friend!.... but lost other instruments...flutes... No justice was made. Nothing!!!!! I'm lucky I have this pc made of dead pc's! I will never buy another CD. And maybe...not even a book.... And now I can't play anymore, I have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia ( a lot of pain...government doesn't care....I'm poor as a poor can be....) I put some money aside for the live concerts and I don't fuckin' care about the pain when I go to the concerts because those are the best fuckin' days of my life!!!!! And I contribute to my beloved bands that way!!!!! and THANKS EPICA FOR SIGNING MY CD AGAIN!
+Ricardo Martinez You're right, but let's be honest, most of us love a lot of rock and metal bands, imagine how expensive it would be to purchase every album they release, it would be a huge amount of money, I personaly only have 17 albums: 7 from Aerosmith, 4 from Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, 2 from Hardcore Superstar, 1 from Helloween, 1 from Damn Yankees, 1 from Deep Purple and 1 from Rammstein. Obviously I wish I had more, but I can't afford to buy every album I want like Consign To Oblivion for instance.
+Ricardo Martinez Actually that's because Hellfest is obviously a festival and people go to see several bands. Not just Epica fans were on the Epica Concert that day.
I always thought that they were gonna shoot a new video for Unchain Utopia (they did it once I know) :S But I must say... THIS VIDEO IS ON FIRE! Their best music video so far! Simone is like a goddess and her mimics scares me sometimes but it's about the video concept, so please don't tell me that she is not emotional.
Awesome!!! But please explain the link between the video and the song lyrics!!! The Epica Crew represents the bad toughts, Simone the conscience, and the guy the self? Is that it? I'll see you on the meet & greet at Porto Alegre / Brazil in 03/03!
Simone es impresionante y la que hace que este grupo me guste tanto, pero joder, cuando Mark entra con todo su gutural el resultado es igual o más impresionante!
Her voice with his growls is just great.
Excellent contrast between the two voices.
Epica shows once again how talented they are. Fantastic instrumentals and Simone is great as always, I hope they never change the main vocalist! This is exactly how symphonic metal should be like. Not pop-rock like many other sympho bands have turned into. I hope they keep going in this path. Symphonic, Beautiful yet Brutal.
Sirenia are still keeping it up.
Lmao stop blasting Within Temptation like that😂
Anyone else just happen to buy the entire album after 15 seconds of this song?
yep i am looking at my vinyl copy of The Quantum Enigma as we speak
Yes.
I did take
Your words are meaningless, as pain fills the void
Hollow words won't hurt no longer
You will regret every life you've destroyed
Blaming the whole world will never make you stronger
Be prepared for the righteous self
If you blame all your failures on someone else
Without any remorse
Without your remorse
If you don't face the weakness of your own self
You will take the same course
You'll take the same course
Your deeds are reasonless, you adore yourself
Empty deeds impress no longer
You will regret everyone you've envied
Blaming it on life will never make you stronger
Be prepared for the confrontation
If you blame all your failures on someone else
Without any remorse
Without your remorse
If you don't face the weakness of your own self
You will take the same course
You'll take the same course
If you blame all your failures on someone else
You avoid every chance
You've lost your last chance
To learn from yourself
If you blame all your failures on someone else
Without any remorse
Without your remorse
If you don't face the weakness of your own self
You will take the same course
You'll take the same course
We can't blame all our failures on someone else
For our own protection
So much to protect
We can't learn from decisions in our own lives
Without self-reflection
We will never flee from contingency
We will never flee from contingency
Thanks

I don't understand how someone can stop loving a band because they try new things. I personally can't stand it when I get the same album over and over from an artist. I want them to try new things and grow as musicians, and I feel Epica did an amazing job with this album because it's something new, but at the same time, It's still Epica, and personally I think this album is by far their best. It's just better in every aspect compared to a lot of their old stuff. The only thing I think that has come even close to this is Design Your Universe.
I didn't like this album at first because to me it sounded the same, but after listening to the songs fully one by one, it grew on me and now I love it. It's like they adopt a new style to the way they play the guitar, the drum, the symphony and the choir on every songs of the album, that's why it kinda sound the same, but each song is definitely different. I think you just have to give it a chance and "know" them, then I bet you'll love it. Listen to the songs one by one carefully and don't fast forward or skip it!
it happen same to me.. didn't like it at first but now i love it.. but in my opinion it would have be better if they didn't use to much the choir on this album.. it kinda get annoying lol
Angel Leon Yeah, the choir can be a bit overwhelming. I wish they put the intro riff again somewhere in the middle or toward the end of the song. Can't stop listening. :)
Por fin un vídeo de Epica donde Mark es tratado con dignidad, que muestre todo el poderío de su voz y no solo a simone como una diva
No me va mucho la voz de mark talvez si hace una banda que cante el solo ya que en mayan tambien esta acompañado de cantantes liricos igual me gusta la banda y Simone es Simone es toda una Diva y Mark creo que siempre fue tratado con dignidad gracias a el se fundo esta banda y el hace los guturales le da la ventaja de no solo captar publico rockero normal o del pop sino para que a epica la escuchen tambien seguidores del black y death metal si la gente conociera mas a esta banda podrian lograr unir gente metalera de los mas clasicos y los mas extremos,del rock y del pop mas light.
Oh, Gods... She is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much beatiful!!!!
Simone Simmons!!I love you!
One of the best song to me in this amazing album. Great choice for a video ;)
nossa... 😍👏👏
vc sabe a musica n final;3:36
cada día mas ansioso de que toquen en CHILE y deleitarnos con este temon.....porfin un mosh made in chile dedicado a epica...
During Hellfest, Mark Jansen asked the audience how many had actually purchased their latest CD; no more than fifty arms raised. What a shame. Piracy against bubble gum pop, I don't care, but cheating on Epica, come on, guys, a CD is not that expensive. You are forcing the band to tour and tour; the more they tour, the less they can concentrate in doing the superb music they have made. So next time please buy their CD.
but did mark mentioned how many bouth it online??? that's the question. hahahahahaha. .I rather get my vinyls...
+Ricardo Martinez To be honest, I was somewhat disappointed with that album. Then again, I am not the biggest fan of the earlier albums and my personal favourite, Requiem For The Indifferent wasn't so well recieved. Anyway, I certainly won't buy their next album without listening into it first. If it gets more progressive and complex again or they shift in a direction I like, I will buy it though. I 100% agree that one should support the artists one likes.
+Ricardo Martinez You are right! I really like to have the physical albums...it's a pleasure, but you know, little profit from the album purchases really goes to the bands now...the record companies!!!!!! And I'm suffering a bit right here with this...I was living in a rented room and my landlord entered it one time and took things indiscriminately.... I even had "The Score" ... I had signed things!!!!! Signed albums even from KORN from when I was really young... Fortunately. Epica are easy going people and easy to be with and an album that he left behind "The Obsessive Devotion" was signed again...I only have three albums from Epica now!
I had countless CDs . . . countless! Books...countless! Vinyl . . . a little tv my grandpa gave me, I don't even watch tv...but it was my grandpa's.... My father's Zippo...All I had from my father!!!!!!!!!!! A lighter...my gosh!!!!!! And fortunately my bass and my bagpipes weren't there nor other percussion instruments from the band, I was out playing and the bass was with a friend!.... but lost other instruments...flutes... No justice was made. Nothing!!!!! I'm lucky I have this pc made of dead pc's!
I will never buy another CD. And maybe...not even a book....
And now I can't play anymore, I have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia ( a lot of pain...government doesn't care....I'm poor as a poor can be....) I put some money aside for the live concerts and I don't fuckin' care about the pain when I go to the concerts because those are the best fuckin' days of my life!!!!! And I contribute to my beloved bands that way!!!!!
and THANKS EPICA FOR SIGNING MY CD AGAIN!
+Ricardo Martinez You're right, but let's be honest, most of us love a lot of rock and metal bands, imagine how expensive it would be to purchase every album they release, it would be a huge amount of money, I personaly only have 17 albums: 7 from Aerosmith, 4 from Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, 2 from Hardcore Superstar, 1 from Helloween, 1 from Damn Yankees, 1 from Deep Purple and 1 from Rammstein. Obviously I wish I had more, but I can't afford to buy every album I want like Consign To Oblivion for instance.
+Ricardo Martinez Actually that's because Hellfest is obviously a festival and people go to see several bands. Not just Epica fans were on the Epica Concert that day.
Perfect! One of my favourites definitely! Really love it!
I always thought that they were gonna shoot a new video for Unchain Utopia (they did it once I know) :S But I must say... THIS VIDEO IS ON FIRE! Their best music video so far! Simone is like a goddess and her mimics scares me sometimes but it's about the video concept, so please don't tell me that she is not emotional.
This goes hard, both lyrics and music! 🔥💖 ✨
People being chased by the band? Simone haunting by the mirror?
Didn't we see something like this before? :P
2:42 Holy fucking shit! When she walked out of the cage my jaw dropped. She is out of this world.
What is it with metal videos and people moving through forests?
Spunky McGoo My guess would be that a lot of metal bands come from Scandinavia, which has a lot of forests and not much else
Spunky McGoo Call of the Wintermoon is leading in this case, I think.
Spunky McGoo in the late 90s, most scandinavian metal bands had winter, snow or forest in their name
+Kitsune Gaming But actualy Epica is not from Scandinavia. They are Dutch.
+K. Petrova I was commenting on the "forest" thing most Scandinavian black metal bands use either in the band name or songs
Awesome!!! But please explain the link between the video and the song lyrics!!! The Epica Crew represents the bad toughts, Simone the conscience, and the guy the self? Is that it? I'll see you on the meet & greet at Porto Alegre / Brazil in 03/03!
a Simone está economizando o canto lírico dela.
concordo
Concordo!
neh
what does "economizando" means ?
Saving, economize, save up
One of the best Epica songs ever!
Simone es impresionante y la que hace que este grupo me guste tanto, pero joder, cuando Mark entra con todo su gutural el resultado es igual o más impresionante!
Excellent song that you choose to make a video, one of my favorites. I like the concept that you use about hunting! Congrats from Monterrey, Mexico
LOVE HER VOICE. For some reason I feel like she would be a really good Dominatrix.
The Quantum Enigma enlightens the smallest man!
Thanks Epica for enlighten me!
Is it just me or opening riff sounds very much like the one in Dream Theater's This Dying Soul?
OMG this band chnaged my life! I love EPICA!
fleshgod apocalypse,is that you?
+6sentient Hah
+6sentient *insert thank you gif here
Está genialmente orquestado. ..gracias por ser artistas de tan gran sensibilidad
YOOOOO IDKEEE
Absoluut geweldige video!!! Vond het refrein al een hele mooie, ook omdat iedereen de neiging heeft de ander de schuld te geven. I'm speechless. :)
The intro reminded me of Carach Angren
+'Ερεβος Imagine the vocals of mark replaced by that of Seregor.
+'Ερεβος I KNOW RIGHT !!!
+'Ερεβος Me too dude...
hell yeah! it reminds me of The song General Nightmare
+'Ερεβος Haha Epica and Carach Angen are my two favorite bands. They are ver alike in some points. Love both so much, but I definitely prefer Epica.
