We definitely recommend you watch the original video, for the full experience: • EPICA - Consign To Obl...
One of the best for me. It was this video that convinced me to go on a big big epica journey and I'm going to see them in concert next year. Keep on rocking.
Hey Ash, not long till March mate, can't wait to see them live :)
@@watchtheskies it feels like it's taking forever now its getting closer and closer haha.
Awesome! I bet the show will be amazing!
@@MikeandGinger You mentioned harpsichord? And you love Smoon's voice?
I keep suggesting this over and over, you should finally react to "Trois Vierges" which has both, the harpsichord and her wonderful operatic vocals! It will soothe your soul, especially after something as heavy as Consign to Oblivion :)
I personally would recommend the lyrics video uploaded by Kamelot & ARK Lyric Videos. I would like to post the link but my posts often get deleted when there are links, so you need to find it yourself. But please, finally react to this song!
haha i like the sarcasm on creeped up in my feed :) prob the most requested for a few months by now :)
This song grew on me after listening to it more and more. It's complex but now I just love it! Also, I like the fearless attitude on your channel when it comes to reacting songs from all kinds of genres. :) Sending much love from Finland! xx
Why be afraid? It’s just music! 👍🏻❤️ - G
It's a Dutch band and most Dutchies are pretty fluent in English. French... Not so much. We do get French at school, but most Dutch people are not that confident to have conversations or speeches in French. It does help with buying bread on holiday in France though. lol
Same for me here in Germany... I can understand dutch better than french (which I learned for 6 years in school). Groeten uit Duitsland🤘
@@samuelvimes5770 Danke! Groeten uit Nederland! lol
Epica being my favorite band and Simone my fave singer of course, i love all their live performances and ive seen this performance a ton of times and love it more every time. you should try watching their live stream Omega Alive which is the best concert i have ever seen
Just a random bit of info: a common language that two non-native speakers speak to communicate with one another is called a lingua franca.
Not synthesized voices, it are recordings of the choir. Basically they do that the same way as Nightwish do their backing track.
Great reaction. Cheers from the (rain soaked) Low Countries.
Mike has had the biggest grin the WHOLE time.
He really enjoyed it. - G
Good reaction: natural and honest. Simone not only looks wonderful, her voice comes straight from heaven, so it feels! The dutch symphonic metal ladies, overall, are doing great and seem to, with great love and power, work their ways up, to belonging to 'the' best female vocalists of all times.
Mike & Ginger, I have great sympathy for you both...greetz from Those Netherlands!
A wall of Death / Epica is always a great way to start a song. 🤘
Later a nice circle pit.
Would have loved to shoot this. And the stage show as well.
They really do know how to set up a huge show.
Was about to explain it, but you were faster. 😉 @ M & G, it is nothing but running into each other to heavy music. 😆
@@Soulful_Steps It also a very interesting experience to be, as a photographer, the center of a circle pit.
At a Russkaja concert I had this bespoken with the band. It worked well getting me into the center, but there was absolutely no distance to me, so that I couldn‘t take interesting shots.
It is incredible how Epica can vary from this heaviness to the most beautiful ballads. Have you watched "Chasing the Dragon" from their live Retrospect show? It's very moving.
Also, please react to Tarja (former Nightwish singer) performing "Swanheart" during her 2013 show "Beauty and the Beat" with drummer Mike Terrana.
How lovely the so called "Wall of Death". in this case the "Wall of Epica" became endearing!
Today Epica just released the first video from their Omega Alive stream as the whole show will be released on various formats December 3rd. But I suppose you've already seen it on Simone's instagram..😉
Yes, Unchain Utopia- it’s like a five minute Vegas spectacular. Simone’s outfit is amazing too.
That was definitely a great show with a great lineup too. Perfect ending for a perfect evening
Mmmm.....always enjoy listening to Epica.....one of the titans in the genre....and Simone is a goddess!
nice to hear mike and ginger that you finally wanted to do this one this was one of their heaviest songs with a lot of growling from mark that i had to get used to in the beginning with look very different now i think they are really great hope you see more often going to do old songs of them this is also a nice one without growling and with a choir in the background i think you will like this Epica - Unchain Utopia (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO)
They just dropped Unchain Utopia from the OmegaAlive show!
This was one of those songs that I had to acclimatise myself to the growling but I am used to it now I've heard it dozens of times, I have it in the car to listen to :) Mike had a grin on his face most the way through which was great and Simone's voice is lovely. I also never thought about them speaking in English to a French audience, thanks for pointing that out Mike I don't think anyone else who has reacted to this has mentioned it. Ginger mentioned the harpsichord which was great, I love that part of the song. This is just a great track and gives me goosebumps EVERY time I listen to it especially at the start where the audience run in to each other in the mosh pit.
Thankyou for reacting to this one. Someone in the comments mentioned Dancing in a Hurricane Live at Zenith, yes also a great song. Take care
Great band symponic metal of all time
Just love this. So much contrast in this that it makes it really interesting
Good one guys
If you notice, all the European bands speak English to their audiences unless they are in their home countries. When Nightwish was in Finland, Marco spoke Finnish, but Floor spoke English. When Nightwish is in Latin America, English was the chosen language as well.
Lanjutkan...
simons is amazing queen 🎶
Hello Mike & Ginger!
I'm a bit late to the party this time.
First of all, congratulations! You've survived one of the heaviest songs by Epica :D Or at least the "growliest" one. In the majority of their songs it's mostly Simone with choir and then Mark's harsh vocals here and there, but in this one, it was mostly harsh vocals. They play this song at the end of their shows and crowds go crazy. Did you notice there were actually two growlers? Usually it's just Mark, but here, Isaac (the lead guitarist) helped out Mark with growls. And Coen (the keyboardist) did a couple screams too.
I agree that Simone's voice is special.
There are many great singers in metal, but not so many are also classically trained. Smoon has a wonderful timbre and lovely vibrato. I totally love her voice, it's just as beautiful as she is :)
Btw, the harsh vocals in this song are spectacular. It's not just monotonous growling. Mark changes the shape of his mouth to create different sounds (he uses death metal growls as well as black metal screams). Isaac has even deeper growls than Mark so when he joins here and there, it adds even more diversity. Combined with organ and choir in the background, it all sound incredibly epic. This song is a true masterpiece but many people completely miss it just because they don't like growls. They can't hear how it's all masterfully put together and what an amazing piece of music it is as the whole.
There is a very interesting analysis of this song from a couple weeks ago, by an opera singer. She was wondering if Mark's growls actually change in pitch :) Her channel is called " The Charismatic Voice" just in case you'd like to watch that reaction. She was also talking about Simone, of course. I think Ginger might like it.
now you guys need to hear design your universe live retrospect, it will give you chills
EPICA beautiful Metal
What's happening. It is the wall of Epica A.K.A. the wall of death. Not to worry no body dies but at my age I know better than to be caught in the middle.
Mike always has the most interesting observations.
That’s why I keep him! 😊 - G
Have just one thing to say about that………E-P-I-C……… ❤️🤘🇦🇺
PS - was waiting for your comment on the keys-synth player, had it on rails and was moving constantly back and forth even sending and going down and running to other end and meeting it.
I totally missed it. - G
Ok, so now you have seen the heavy side of Epica :)
Epic & spektakular 😍👍❤✌🤘
Yay! More EPICA! 😊
When two metal dudes make a heart together with their hands.... lol. Cute.
Wagakki band, you gonna like them
really enjoyed the vocals, my favourite Apocalyptica song is their cover of Metallica’s One. Amazing cellos, give it a listen.
👍👍👍
Def heavier than NW....gawd I love this premier Dutch symphonic band....damn!
Since you both like covers Mike and Ginger, you should look up Simone Simons singing the famous song, "Memory"
They did it one month ago.
The chorus was a real prerecorded human chorus. You can always tell it's human when words show up in any part of it, even if it's hard to make out what words are being sung. Synth/sampled choruses are basically just "Ooohs" and "Ahhhs".
Oh guys you need to give another Canadian band some love. Check out The Agonist...do either "In Vertigo" vocal 1 take by Vicky Psarakis or do The Gift of Silence. Vicky Psarakis is so underrated its criminals.
@@oldmanjimh3165 I thought that was coming tomorrow
You just checked one of the few tracks that I consider essential. Congrats. ;-)
Eglish is the Lingua Franca. Just like it was Latin in Roman times, French in the 17th century, and it might well be Chinese in a hundred years.
Yes! Epic from Epica!
I approve of this message :)
Please react more to Epica and Terion.
Epica just released ' Unchained Utopia' from the Omega Alive virtual concert
it's Unchain, not Unchained :)
@@cancelled_user oops!
Btw, you mentioned harpsichord? And you love Smoon's voice?
I keep suggesting this over and over, you should finally react to "Trois Vierges" which has both, the harpsichord and her wonderful operatic vocals! It will soothe your soul, especially after something as heavy as Consign to Oblivion :)
I personally would recommend the lyrics video uploaded by Kamelot & ARK Lyric Videos. I would like to post the link but my posts often get deleted when there are links, so you need to find it yourself. But please, finally react to this song!
Simone speaks French. Also Dutch, German, Spanish, and obviously English. Pretty good for somebody who didn't finish high school, eh?
Beste Zangers is back. In 2019 it featured Floor Jansen as one of the musicians. In 2021 it features Anneke Van Giersbergen as one of the musicians. I will link all the musicians on the show below. Beste Zangers is a Dutch show that in each individual week one of the musicians hears the other musicians perform covers of their songs or covers of that musicians favorite covers from other musicians. Then in the next week another musician is the featured musician who gets to hear the other musicians perform covers of their original songs or songs that this featured musician likes as their favorite songs. It goes on until all the musicians are featured individually each individual week.

This song kicks ass. Great reaction guys.
Check out a accoustic performance of " Blank Infinity "

I know you have done videos from the ' Retrospect' concert, but have you seen the whole concert. 3 hours long and Simone was pregnant at the time.
Hey guys, you've got the 3 lead vocals in Epica in this song (as in most songs) Simone, Mark and the choir. Just for fun, and enjoyment, you should react Ayreon's mystical realm of Transitus with Simone Simons as the Angel of Death, Tommy Karevik as Daniel, Marcela Bovio and Caroline Westendorp as the Furies... ruclips.net/video/ozmTXh2CBWw/видео.html
definitely worth your time...
Dont forget to react Alffy rev ft Novia Bachmid - wonderland indonesia
Ginger you need to have Mike buy you that dress. Just saying. 😎
It is my birthday coming up! 😜 - G
Please reaction moses - welcome to the jungle | the voice kids season 3 🙏🙏🙏
The best version of this song is from 2013 Retrospect Live DVD. Sorry, but this doesn't even come close.
Nope.. Both are great.
Simone sounds better in the Retrospect version and growls are better in the Zenith version
actually Spanish speakers are much more than English ;)
More what?
@@patverum9051 Spanish speakers are more than English Speakers, worldwide 😀
Yeah if it’s to loud your to old “””
Great band symponic metal of all time
