Yes same keyboard player, Coen Janssen, as he was losing his hair, he decided to shave his his head a few years after this, he donated his hair to a charity that makes hairpieces for people undergoing Chemotherapy
Epica - Serenade of Self-Destruction
Yes! Haven't seen a new reaction to that one in a while. It's a beautiful song.
You prefer Simone's chest voice over her head voice (operatic)? That might change over time if you learn a bit about it. Almost all singers use their chest voice (and we all use it when we're speaking), but most singers don't use their head voice. That requires a classical training. For me, it's much more special. Yes, it's impressive to see singers do powerful belting, but that will eventually take a toll on their vocal cords. That's why voices of opera singers don't deteriorate over time that much. The technique is very different and their voices last longer. It's also a beautiful sound. You can definitely learn how to appreciate it. When some symphonic metal band has a classically trained soprano, that's immediately a big bonus point for me. But there are not many such bands, and then, most of them don't have musical compositions that are anywhere near to those of Epica. This band is just phenomenal.
I didn't really consider "Unleashed" very uplifting, for me it's a stunning but sad song, but that may be just me. 🙂
If you want something even more uplifting, do this:
EPICA - Beyond The Matrix - Live at the Zenith (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
and one more:
EPICA - A Phantasmic Parade (OFFICIAL EUROPEAN PRINCIPLE TOUR AFTERMOVIE)
If you want Simone using only her chest voice (pop-rock sound) without the operatic head voice, you can do some of heir more radio-friendly songs:
EPICA - Storm The Sorrow (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
EPICA - Never Enough (Dark) HQ HD 4K
Coen Janssen is the original and current keyboardist. he had hair then, but is now bald.
EPICA are from The Netherlands, as is Floor.
Yes, this is the 10th anniversary show. The 20th anniversary show just ended about a half hour ago, awesome show. Watched it on livestream.🤘🤘Didn't have the orchestra or big choir, but they did bring out the children's choir for The Skeleton Key.

I was at the 20th anniversary show. No orchestra, but the show was amazing. I enjoyed the heck out of it.
for me is Epica the Top tier in this musik
Epica- Chasing the Dragon live Retrospect!!!!
I am literally back home from Epica's 20th anniversary show at 013 in Tilburg, The Netherlands. It was a blast of a show and they blew me away! I am still full of energy! For me Epica is the best symphonic metal band in the world and love them forever and ever!
No friend! They are not the best symphonic metal band... They are the best band in the whole world!!!
@@luBazan1206 together with Eluveitie. Both are my absolute favourites. 🤣
🤘😎🤘
@@massivemetalreactions Hi again. If you don't remember where are they from, and other basic info, yYou can just re-read my introductory post below your reaction to "Consign to Oblivion". 🙂
What about Sahara Dust as Epica's support act last Saturday? I've watched the stream.😉
🌀🌀🌀🧘🧘🧘🔥🔥🔥KINGDOM OF HEAVEN pt1, please!
This entire show is amazing.
oh that huge drum in the orcasta epica design your universe live retrospect its epic lol
The keyboardist is the same, but, at that time, he still had hair.
The name of the band is perfect. Every single song is top level. I began my metal journey at the beginning of the pandemic.
I'm still amazed that this band is not known in the US.
Tickets for the Sabaton/Epica concerts are less than $50 for the upcoming shows.
Having started in music with bands like Procol Harum, ELP, and Yes, this is the perfect progression of the genre. Continue to enjoy.
When you take a look at Kingdom of Heaven part 3 omega alive , then you know why Coen went from hair to bold 😂😂🤘Its one of the masterpieces of Epica.
😂
Other outstanding performances from this Retrospect concert:
Chasing The Dragon
Design Your Universe
Storm The Sorrow (Simone makes the densest mix ever her bitch)
The Divine Conspiracy
But the entire show is awsome, Simone is pregnant, far enough along to have a good baby bump, and still slaying.
Hi MMR you will love this one, one of my favorite songs and videos from EPICA, an epic sci-fi masterpiece and a great video too
EPICA - Universal Death Squad (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO)
video link posted below
here is the link ruclips.net/video/P_Ys_W7ySkM/видео.html
If you want to know more about the singer Simone Simons check out this interview with her from Elizabeth at The Charismatic Voice

You are listening to Epica in the right way. This music demands active listening, there's so much happening in the background. This gives their albums infinite replayability for me, with a 120 songs as dense as this... It's a stunning body of work, both from a metal and classical perspective.
The band is from the Nederlands; the orchestra, from Hungary.
epica beyond the matrix live at the zenith
I jumped to Beyond The Matrix live tonight at their 20th anniversary show! Soooo good what an energy this band give to the crowd!
I love them
@@fritsyt2090 You're lucky mate. 🙂
@@MegaDog555 me too very very very much, forever and ever!!
@@cancelled_user Thank you friend! Did you watched the stream? :)
The melody you pointed out is being played predominantly by the violins, and occasional some sort of wind instrument on top. If you want another symphonic metal rabbit-hole check out Ad Infinitum!
Hi and greetings from Greece. Bear in mind that in this concert, mermaid Simonne is 5 months pregnant!
I think 3 months pregnant, but still props to her. 🙂
personally I think this is one of epica's most beautiful songs and it's great that you can enjoy this band so much I also started with floor jansen and nightwish few years ago but soon came across epica and immediately fell in love, I just got back from their 20s year anniversary show here in the netherlands and they sound really good live!, i think you will love chasing the dragon and design your universe from the same show 10 anniversary
The Keyboard player Coen Janseen, bald is just his newer look. He is a founding member.
Epica /Sabaton US tour begins in Seattle Sept 15.
This 10th anniversary concert was 10 years ago. Their 20th anniversary concert is Online and it is today Sept 3. And will be available to watch for 72 hours.
Epica are constantly great, but some performances like this are just sheer metal perfection.
Epica is a Dutch band. For another 'huge and uplifting chorus' check out BEYOND THE MATRIX live at Zenith.
Probably my favourite song from this concert is Design Your Universe but every song from it is a masterpiece
Kudos on the mixing comments. There are times in the show where the guitars are almost in the background to allow the strings and other instruments to shine, other times they come to the fore. Fantastic job of mixing all those sounds
Nice reaction. One of my favorites and I think a much better introduction to Epica then Consign to Oblivion. First is the wall of sound from a full live orchestra and choir. Second is Simone's more varied singing and the fact that she is the center for the whole song. In Consign to Oblivion she kind of disappears for half the song. Third is the gorgeous melodies and arrangements that the band has created. Your spot on about how amazing the sound engineering was to get such a perfect mix. As other's have mentioned the keyboardist, Coen, is one of the original band members and used to have hair as here but is now bald, as I will be in about 5 years. Watched the 20th anniversary concert on the livestream and it was amazing. The audio and video was spectacular and we were treated to some early Epica when they performed as Sahara Dust (band's first name) including a number of songs that hadn't been performed live in decades plus a brand new song from their upcoming album. Like Retrospect the show was over 3 hours long. Best eighteen dollars I have ever spent. Hopefully they will be releasing a DVD or some of the songs on their YT channel.
I lost 10 lbs in one month listening to Epica for an hour each day while on an indoor exercise bike.
I love 💗👋 this song
You really should listen to Chasing the dragon from the same show, her full range on show (apologies for repeating as I left a similar comment on another reaction, but it is exceptional.
EPICA is from the Netherlands like Floor Jansen...
Awesome reactions! Just subscribed. Another couple of bands that doesnt get nearly enough love are Beast in Black and Temperance. Temperance gets almost zero in fact. Great uplifting symphonic metal band, maybe not as complex as Nightwish or Epica but they know how to put together a great song. My personal favorite is "Pure Life Unfolds." Anyways, keep up the great work and I'll be watching for future content!
OK, you prove yourself - new subscriber here - rock on rock hard
Same keyboard player, just more hair!
Its the same keyboard player, only he has hair here
jus a thought another reason youll love 2022 wacken live Crypta is seeing the guitars up close some real beautys

I‘v something special for you:
Turkish Synohonic Metal with full orchestra and choir.
Check out Sebnem Ferah Live concert from March 2007 in Istanbul.
The whole concert amazing.
First song: Delgeç.
same dude with hair lol
different crypta burning witches battlelore
First time listening to Epica, 🤘🏼🤘🏼.
I like the Heavy Metal orchestra mix. There’s one Heavy Metal band I’d like to see do a Metal/Orchestra album together with about 20/25 songs.
I know if KISS can do KISSYMPHONY with the Melbourne Philharmonic Orchestra, the Scorpions can do Moment of Glory with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, I’d love to hear the Heavy Metal 🐐🐐🐐🐐 with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. That’s right Iron Maiden with a 20-25 song set. 🤘🏼🤘🏼UpTheIrons🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hi Chris. I hope you'll watch more Epica reactions, or just on your own. It's a phenomenal band. And Simone (the lead female soprano) is a goddess. 🙂
@@cancelled_user She kinda reminds me of the female singer for Draconian in the song The Solitude.
I’m definitely gonna be checking them out.
@@Chris_Clark1MaidenFan Good. Do you have any preference? Heavier stuff? More radio-friendly? Or some ballads? I can give you a couple suggestions.
@@cancelled_user All the above
@@Chris_Clark1MaidenFan OK, here are 9 songs for you. It's hard to pick because I can easily name 30 stunning Epica songs, but that would be too much for now. 🙂 I can't post links as YT will then delete/hide my post, so here are titles for you to copy-paste:
I hope you don't mind some harsh male vocals here and there. Epica use this duality of "beauty and the beast" in most of their songs.
Their first song from 2002, Cry For the Moon, here performed in a 2004 live TV studio session.
Simone was just 19 at the time and her head voice (operatic) sounded quite differently from later years. What a beautiful voice and a beautiful woman! And of course, a beautiful song.
EPICA - Cry for the Moon (We Will Take You With Us-OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO)
Here, their seventh album from 2016, a song with quite unusual song structure and sci-fi lyrics:
EPICA - Universal Death Squad (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO)
Here, a more radio-friendly song from 2012, and very cool video too (Simone's dirtiest filming)
EPICA - Storm The Sorrow (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
and
Epica Storm The Sorrow (Acoustic version) Pinkpop 2014
The second one will show you how they can transform their great metal songs into great acoustic versions. They've done that with multiple songs. It shows how great musicians they are.
Here's something heavier from 2009, the fourth album:
Epica - Semblance of Liberty (Lyrics)
And a wonderful emotional ballad from the same year, same album:
Epica - Tides Of Time (lyrics) - please, find a fan-made video by Elimeleh69
Here, two ballads in just one video, again 2004:
Epica - Run For a fall 🎼 Solitary Ground live (2004)
And at least one of their longer epic masterpieces, something from 2021
EPICA - KINGDOM OF HEAVEN PT 3 - (ΩMEGA ALIVE) (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
I can give you more later, if you wish. Just didn't want to inundate you with too many links. 😉
what instruments ? never heard a violin ? haha ;)
Just a Suggestion. Have you heard Wolfheart- Routa, pt2?
Not yet.
crypta from the ashes live wacken 2022 ladies deserve a chance an you like thrash
Same keyboard player afaik.
It is. He has been with the band since the beginning. He just started to go bald and he didn't fight it, simply embraced it.
you need some Eluviete
Oh yessssss my other love!!! Epica and Eluveitie are the best bands in the world and I really am sad that I can't be at their show in 013 later this year, because I experienced yesterday with Epica's 20th anniversary show the best sound ever in a venue, this venue has the best sound from the Netherlands and maybe (what some other people were telling) the best of all Europe.
Maybe he should just start to react to Aidus 😍🤘🏻
hes bald now
Meh...
