I used to think to myself, especially in things like we will take you with us... how can you scream like that without wincing in pain at screaming from your throat like that. I'm glad to hear that he still has that tone, but there's more depth to it and you know that he's doing it right now

fucking majestic album, this song is already a classic. Well done guys and Simone you sing marvellously, that song is hard to sing but you have done brilliantly for a live performance. Long live the new kings and queen of symphonic metal.
Ligeia Noire Don't have to. Look at the tiny little cameras, for instance on the keyboard of Coen and on the drumkitt of Arrien. With those little things it's impossible to record a sound as we hear it. Those things are put there only for the images. Compare the song as you hear it on the video with the sound on the album. It's exactly the same. Nevertheless is Epica live one hell of a band. Saw them twice this year (Groningen and Leeuwarden) and they are live awesome.
Mario Lorist You can't be serious. Even aside from the blatantly different EQ between the two, listen to the differences in Simone's phrasing, especially on the chorus. I'll give you this, her voice is most likely pitch-corrected judging from some of those robotic snaps, but this is definitely NOT the album audio. They most likely pulled the sound directly from the PA, brought the stems into a studio somewhere, and had a quick mix created from that.
Simone is not a human, she is a godess avatar from a higher spiritual dimension. Epica is the most creative best sounding band/act in modern time, musicallity beyond..... And yes, I'm 56 years old, with 35 years in the music business.... Not many acts has affected me this profound....
Saw them Feb. 2nd 2016 here in Atlanta....one thing marked off of my bucket list. As a 52 year old lifelong metalhead, and a fan of this band for almost 15 years, it was one of the musical highlights of my life. They were supremely tight musicianship-wise, and phenomenally entertaining....and good Lord is Simone freaking gorgeous ! STILL smiling 2 months later 😀
I'm so proud to be Dutch, many great musicians and vocalists in the metal scene are Dutch, Simone Simons, Floor Janssen, Arjen Lucassen, Anneke van Giersbergen, Sharon den Adel and so much more, so fantastic
#Steffelaar # Charlotte Wessels,Manda Ophuis,Caroline Westendorp,Floor Jansen,Simone Simons,Anneke van Giersbergen,Dianne van Giersbergen,Sharon Den Adel all my favorite vocalist 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱
Ariën doesn't get enough attention for his drumming, no where near enough. He's damn good in the studio versions like this but live, he's in a different universe, he does the funkiest, off the wall, off beat kicks but damn if he isn't amazing. Ariën and Isaac joining the band was one of the best thing's that could of happened in my opinion, their styles blend better with the rest of the group and really allowed mark to unleash all the heavier ideas he had wanted to do.
Enjoying this wonder during the quarantine. Where are the Brazilians in 2020 ??? Apreciando essa maravilha durante a quarentena. Cadê os brasileiros em 2020??? 🇧🇷
This deserves way more views, what a great performance by the whole band and Simone sounds so good. This is not an easy song by any means and she pulls it off so well.

Thanks nightwish, for kicking out two lead vocalists and hiring floor so I would dig in her past, find a duet of her and simone, discovered simone and epica and fell in love with them. Thank you nightwish
@@arpitabrahmachari7649hard to say because I find them very different. But Nightwish has a very special place in my heart :) what about you? And I don't know Xandria yet
Mark has become one of the very best growlers in the business.. unbelievable growth. incredible performance from simone as always in such a hard song for the vocalist to perform live. such high notes, fast with not much room for big breaths.. queen. never seen a more beautiful woman. never heard a more beautiful voice. here s to epica. an incredible 15+ years since i first heard you guys.
9 лет назад+8
Oh my... this the best Band ever!! Thanks, EPICA!!
What a brilliant song, never bored to this for many years 😄 In my ears they start from like oriental/middle east vibe in 0:43, then switch to jazzy feel by 1:13, finally the chorus 1:28 use a pop progression. All of them are very well blended with metal aggression
Epica is one of the best bands I've ever heard in my whole life. Therefore this is my favorite band. But I think they could make a better promotion when they release albums
i was there in the ancienne belgique in Brussels and their are truly amazing, great show!!! i liked epica before this concert but after this concert i really became a fan!
This is a fucking awesome live version of the song. S. Simons in her angelic and majestic voice together with Mark's incredible growling. This is even better than the studio version😊
wow! Awesome, I mourn, really is so exciting even if it is only a video he imagines to be there, mone me goosebumps, I hope the wait time for me to go to see them play one day, Greetings from Mexico :')
Amazing song and album!!! Though my favorite from this last one is still Unchain Utopia, I don't know why, but there's something special about it, epicness! Great performance! And I am lucky to say I already seen this song life 3 times already!!! :D
Mark's vocals have improved so much since they first started. He sounds absolutely incredible now.
Yeah I remember thinking in their old stuff it was pretty mediocre and live it was just.... plain unpleasant lol. He sounds great now
His vocals just give me shivers in this performance.... CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEEAAAD *dies*
I used to think to myself, especially in things like we will take you with us... how can you scream like that without wincing in pain at screaming from your throat like that. I'm glad to hear that he still has that tone, but there's more depth to it and you know that he's doing it right now
Mark is one of the most underrated songwriters in metal right now :S
I love Mark is a genious
But Arie wrote this song 😀
It's the best to me. ❤️
Something is wrong
My strength has gone
Thoughts are corrupting my mind
I can see I perceive this ain’t me
Something so strong
My mood has swung
I can’t get it out of my head
I believe that my mind misleads me
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Search for essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence is…)
You’re searching and bursting
There seems to be no cure
When tension endures
Delusions corrupting my mind
I can see I perceive this ain’t me
There seems to be no way
When light fades to grey
To get them all out my head
I believe that my mind misleads me
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Search for your essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence is…)
Make a start
Explore your heart
When a persistent memory
Penetrates deep in your mind
Allow the silence to destroy
Your thoughts in every kind
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Allow the silence
To wipe your thoughts away
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Search for essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence lies IN SILENCE)
Thank you
Simone Simons, such a divine voice and presence in the metal scene
I actually like this live version better than the album version!
fucking majestic album, this song is already a classic. Well done guys and Simone you sing marvellously, that song is hard to sing but you have done brilliantly for a live performance. Long live the new kings and queen of symphonic metal.
Ligeia Noire It's live footage with the sounds of the album.
Mario Lorist you should ask mark
Ligeia Noire Don't have to. Look at the tiny little cameras, for instance on the keyboard of Coen and on the drumkitt of Arrien. With those little things it's impossible to record a sound as we hear it. Those things are put there only for the images. Compare the song as you hear it on the video with the sound on the album. It's exactly the same. Nevertheless is Epica live one hell of a band. Saw them twice this year (Groningen and Leeuwarden) and they are live awesome.
Mario Lorist I guess they didn't have to do that, retrospect is not that good of a performance and they still put it on a dvd so...
Mario Lorist You can't be serious. Even aside from the blatantly different EQ between the two, listen to the differences in Simone's phrasing, especially on the chorus. I'll give you this, her voice is most likely pitch-corrected judging from some of those robotic snaps, but this is definitely NOT the album audio.

Anneke its the best one haha.

I'm Belgian and I'm happy Isaac is Belgian too.... Can't name many others! Haha :-P
U should be proud bro... That much of a talent... Its insane... Is it a coffee shops? Serbia luv u all
@@pedjavukmirovic6770 no it’s the availability of very good education institutes for every genre.
That riff, that drum, a 3:06. It absolutely kills. Best riff Mark has ever come up with.
Ariën doesn't get enough attention for his drumming, no where near enough. He's damn good in the studio versions like this but live, he's in a different universe, he does the funkiest, off the wall, off beat kicks but damn if he isn't amazing.

Guturais do Mark estão ótimos nesse álbum.
Heavy , coherent and dynamic sound, crystal clear vocals. They are doing really a good job, consolidating themselves as the best on this genre.
Enjoying this wonder during the quarantine.
Where are the Brazilians in 2020 ???
Apreciando essa maravilha durante a quarentena.
Cadê os brasileiros em 2020??? 🇧🇷
Opa,aqui,é uma das minhas bandas favoritas pra vida \m/
Aqui, sempre fenomenal! :D

Such a nice video. Love this song, love the entire Quantum Enigma album.

Ylis Vauhdis , LMAO from your transcription of Mark’s growling...
amo essa banda, na minha opinião ela é a melhor de symphonic metal
Thanks nightwish, for kicking out two lead vocalists and hiring floor so I would dig in her past, find a duet of her and simone, discovered simone and epica and fell in love with them. Thank you nightwish
wow! Big journey! =D
Thank you After Forever (Floor Jansen's first band) for Mark Jansen's departure from that band made me follow his next project which was Epica.
I had exactly the same journey!
@@gizemcelik6045 which one do you like better? Epica, Nightwish or Xandria?
@@arpitabrahmachari7649hard to say because I find them very different. But Nightwish has a very special place in my heart :) what about you?
And I don't know Xandria yet

Oh my... this the best Band ever!!
Thanks, EPICA!!
é inacreditável a trajetória dessa banda, começaram já em grande qualidade, e conseguiram manter o padrão "epica" de qualidade!
What a brilliant song, never bored to this for many years 😄 In my ears they start from like oriental/middle east vibe in 0:43, then switch to jazzy feel by 1:13, finally the chorus 1:28 use a pop progression. All of them are very well blended with metal aggression
EPICA, one of the best Band Ever ! Rule the Earth ! Yeahh
One of the sickest breakdowns I've ever heard in my life
Only a few can fully understand the meaning of this, and even less had expirience it fully. Hope that change soon. Awesome job Epica!
This is amazing ! We need more official live videos 🙏
Awesome new video! Going to the Epica, Eluveitie, and The Agonist show in Vancouver Sept 22nd...can't wait!
Simone, a perfeição da voz dela Deuses ! .💟💟💟💜
best live performance for quantum enigma's album, simmone's voice here is better than any previous live performance, keep a good work!
Epica is one of the best bands I've ever heard in my whole life. Therefore this is my favorite band. But I think they could make a better promotion when they release albums
Hope this one would be a special live track on cd from vip package, simply perfect in every second
Beautiful music! Thank you for sharing it with the world. You guys rock!
3:36 Oh my fucking god......this guitar solo! Fuck yeah!
