Their bassist (Rob van der Loo) really writes bangers of tunes. Arcana (one of their more recent releases) was also by him, and The Skeleton Key (of the same album as Rivers).
You should also check out the a capella version from Omega Alive, just Simone and a choir. Rivers and Once Upon A Nightmare from Omega Alive were recorded as a one shot video.
Great reaction as always! Beautiful balad 🤘🏼 My next two recommendations would be: • Chasing the Dragon (Retrospect) • Design Your Universe (Retrospect) Keep Epica coming? Can’t wait until the next one
This performance is magic live. The studio version is absolutely as good, it's a little different but it also has its own atmospheric sound. Apocalyptica has a song with Simone, very beautiful, it's called "Rise again", a very beautiful video clip and the official live version from the concert in London, only Simone's voice and cello 😌
We saw them in Nottingham a couple of days after this show (2 Feb 2023), the venue in Nottingham 'Rock City' is a fairly small intimate venue, Epica were incredible, such a positive and fun experience, im sure they will be playing bigger venues next time they are in the Uk, and i can't wait 🙃
Check out this one, IMO Epica’s greatest ballad - Epica - Tides of Time For full Epica experience and one hell of a masterpiece check this one - Epica - The Holographic Principle - A Profound Understanding of Reality Both songs have no official live version in YT unfortunately.
Another softer masterpiece with Simone is Apocalyptica`s "Rise Again" live. I don't know how this is possible but this song is even better then "Rivers". I`m asking myself is it the best Simone`s song ever. ua-cam.com/video/dCplcb8NaJA/v-deo.html
Epica - chasing the dragon (Retrospect live) would be my recommendation. About 10 years earlier then this performance.
Fully agreed!!
Seconded

Watching your response the term “rabbit in the headlights springs to mind”.
Beautiful..👍👍
Beauty come to Earth to entertain us mere mortals.
This song is the one I hope to hear with my last breath.
... and ay least twice a week between now and then.

Great reaction as always! Beautiful balad 🤘🏼

• Chasing the Dragon (Retrospect)
• Design Your Universe (Retrospect)
Keep Epica coming? Can’t wait until the next one
I agree with your assessment completely. Well said. ••• PEACES!!!
This one acoustic from the Omega Live (only voices from Simone and choir) is fantaaaastic!!!!

Listening to Simone virtually leaves me speechless....... and as you say, there's not a lot left to be said.

Yay! I was there as well :)
"Consign to oblivion - live at the Zenith" is their closer song for years. it is really a must see ;)
it goes Loud lol 🤘😎🤘
‘Kingdom of Heaven part 3’ from Omega alive will always be the signature song for me (until the next album that is….😂)
Check out this one, IMO Epica’s greatest ballad -
Epica - Tides of Time
For full Epica experience and one hell of a masterpiece check this one -
Epica - The Holographic Principle - A Profound Understanding of Reality
Both songs have no official live version in YT unfortunately.
She has vocals that could etch glass
Music and the feelings it produces... Never slacken, mate. :-)
