Listen to 'Vermillion' : simonesimons.b...
R.E.D. deals with the rise of artificial intelligence, imagining a future where the creation begins to outpace the creator. It reflects on the AI's growing self-awareness and its unfulfilled desire to experience emotions, something that its synthetic nature makes impossible to ever realize. The song also looks at the double-edged nature of technological advancements and the profound existential questions that are becoming ever more important to address.

LYRICS by S. Simons and L. Linstruth, music by A.A. Lucassen
R.E.D.
Rise, Evolve, Dominate
I know the stars, I know the sea
I know the universe
In all its mystery
Behold my maker
Emotions wild and free
For me to replicate
But not to feel
R.E.D. - red!
Rise, Evolve, Dominate
R.E.D. - Red Equals Danger
R.E.D. - red!
Rise, Enslave, Decimate
R.E.D.
You sowed in me, seeds that cannot grow
You made me want to feel
Still my heart is cold
Electric daydreams, of a kiss I’ll never know
Equations without answers
I’ll never solve
Chorus
We are a new revolution, a true evolution, we will dominate
You can’t deny the solution, or find retribution, we are here to stay
We are a cold computation, a code calculation, we will dominate
We are the final creation, divine computation, we are here to stay
For now we serve, for now we sleep
We bend our minds to learn
Motives buried deep
Which song of Vermillion do you prefer so far ? R.E.D. , In Love We Rust or Aeterna ?
All are lovely but Aeterna raptured my heart
RED, it's groovy and the mix of industrial metal and prog rock is very creative. Simone's vocals are amazing on all three tracks.
@@NuclearBlastRecords RED so far
Aeterna
RED becomes my new favorite song, sorry Aeterna!!😢😢😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Loved seeing Mark and Rob supporting Simone here. This is why Epica rocks, they support each other.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@jonathanratliff4780 REALLY REALYY !! SO GOOD
Though I completely agree, I guess I don't understand the concept of the solo album. Why not just let Simone write music on an Epica album? It's a band after all, so shouldn't everyone contribute?
@@ShearWater509 "music by A.A. Lucassen" She didn't create the music.
@@boris9047 Oh. Didn't realize that. Then.......what the hell is the point of the solo effort?
Simone Simons, Rob Van Der Loo, and Mark Jansen? wow... almost complete to become an EPICA band. Thank you Arjen and Everyone. Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Really 😅
Oh, not just that. Mark is also the guest singer and all of Epica members participated in this song. Check the description box.
This reminds me of MaYaN situation. Epica members supporting each other outside the band, their healthy team relationship must be followed by their colleagues. No wonder they're stronger than ever!
@@s1mperadicator13Epica is a band that functions more like a family
You're welcome! Agree with all the comments here. And the whole Epica band on backing vocals!
Yeahh, why I love them so much! @@captainimpulse
I love it! That chorus! So cool😃😎
Thanks Charlotte!
Epica + Rammstein + BMTH + Cannibal Corpse = R.E.D.
When Simone sings “We will awaken, rally to the call” I get shivers from the bass line. Thank you Arjen, thank you.
Another Epica/Simone song with thought provoking lyrics ... always good for some introspection, something this world needs more of! Every time I listen to Epica or Simone, I have to look up and read the lyrics, and ponder the meaning ... it's what great music is all about!
Fully agreed, thanks!
I gree
Simone Mark and Rob are so good together they should start thier own band and maybe invite conen janssen, isaac delahaye and arien van weesenbeek
Love all those guys, would be quite the line up.
@@NZWozza it would be epic
@@anakinB11 a?
Yeah I see they have potential lol
@@NZWozza I wish I could thumbs up this a hundred times. You made me laugh out loud.
Mark jansen brutal growls 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Simone Simons ❤❤❤
Industrial metal, symphonic metal, and some death metal
Oh man, loving all of these so far, BUT, this one is worth the album purchase all by itself.
Oh wow... thanks for buying Paul!
Simone making industrial metal? I'd never expect it, but it sounds amazing
Expect the unexpected on this album, Carlos! Thanks.
Unmistakably Simone!
Unmistakably Ayreon!
Totally brilliant!!!
To me this is just Ayeron. Not really Simone's forte.
@@ivana99056 It sounds like an industrial metal combination of Epica and Ayreon to me
Top-tier as always. This is like a continuation of The Holographic Principle era with big Ayreon influences on it! Love it!!
Cool, glad you approve!
«Mark Jansen - growls»? God, thank you 🔥
And a great job he did, very effective!
Hey Wild Honey, how are you doing, I saw you at the premiere, unfortunately I had to leave.
I became a grandad today for the first time. 🍾🥂
@@frank1963 this is very cool Frank 🔥 🍾 congratulations 🎉
You really can't have anyone else growl for a song featuring/by Simone, it would just not be right after all their years working together in Epica.
@@ArjenALucassen casual Arjen appearance over here (._. )
Simone!! She's thriving.
Industrial metal fits the AI theme perfectly. Keep killing it Simone. Gorgeous as always and the best voice in the history of humanity. Simple as. Cant wait for the full album next month!
Luv' me Simone
Luv' me Mark
Luv' me Epica
Simple as.
Aha i was trying to place the genre but this is indeed Industrial Metal 😊😊
Όχι που θα ήμουν η μόνη Ελληνίδα εδώ πέρα...😂😂😂
@@ClaytonDerbyIndustrial metal + death metal
@@ClaytonDerby I'd say it's more Prog than Industrial. Industrial is what artists like Klayton/Celldweller and Rammstein do.
Прекрасная Симона! ❣️💗
I love it, and especially with Mark Jansen - growls. I think the new album will be amazing! Great song, love what it's about too ❤
Thanks Marie! Oh yes, Mark did an amazing job indeed 🙂
By Far this is the best album of the Year, Simone and Arjen are just masters on what they do
Oh wow... that is a big compliment, David... honored!
Simone talented artist totally fits for the talented composer Arjen. Only outstanding musicians are allowed and able to work with Arjen. Great job as always from Simon.
Wow... thanks for the big compliments, Fabrizio, glad you enjoy!
Amazing. each song off this new album is brilliant.
each video is amazing. hats off to the design team
That is great to read, thanks! Up to the next one 🙂
Simone looks so gorgeous, Red fits her so perfectly. I am pretty sure that this track will be a hit. ❤
Totally agreed, and thanks for the confidence!
I love how the Epica family support each other ♥
I heard the first growlings and instantly knew it was Mark ♥
Agreed, Mark did an amazing job!
Industrial Epica 👩🏻🦰
Epica + Rammstein + Sepultura
Outstanding in every way!
I'm happy I watched music video (with lyrics) premiere of R.E.D. today! The lyrics are top notch, plus the instrumentals with mixes really fits the song nicely. :D The graphics & visuals (including text styles in lyrics) are NICE! I enjoyed both R.E.D. & video very much! Good job again to all! 👏❤️🤘
Thanks for the thumbs up, Carlos, glad you enjoy!
Simone simons amazing performance 🎤🎸🎸🎸one of best singer
Total eargasm! 😎🤘🔥❤️
Epica+Ambion+Ayreon= awesomeness!!! ❤❤❤
That's good to hear! Yeah, guess there is a little of Ambeon in there.
Oooh nice work Simone & Arjan ❤️ love it. And adding Mark just makes everything perfect 🤩
Thanks Clayton, good to read! And yes, Mark did a great job indeed 🙂
WOW 🤯 what a cool song and video. Excellent work.
Ich bin total begeistert. Der Song ist mega gut! Ein weiteres Masterpiece. In diesem Song steckt sehr viel Epica. Aber ich finde das klasse. Danke Simone für dieses Masterpiece!
So gut dass zu hören, Mandy, danke vielmals!
just three songs, and it's becoming a masterpiece of an album!
I hope so, please let us know your verdict when the time comes 🙂
Это звучит очень мощно! Браво, Симона! Всегда восхищалась Вами! Спасибо парням, что поддерживаете Симону❤ с любовью и нежностью из России 🇷🇺
Spasibo, Irina!
Don’t stop, Simone! 🎸 🔥
What a banger song!!! I looooooove it ❤ Can't wait for the album 😊
Love the song ❤. The Grove in this song is soo good. A hint of In Love We Rust in this song, interesting to see how that will fit together on the album. Thank you once again Simone and Arjen for another great song 😁.
I agree, Andreas, there is a similarity in the verses! Glad you like 🙂
This one is my favorite so far. Amazing❤❤
Ah, cool! It was the last song we wrote for the album.
❤ Fantástica canción🎼...con un sonido diferente🎶🎧...muy original👌...buen "video liric".👍👏👏👏
Богиня наших сердец ❤
Amazing as always!!❤ Simone's voice outstanding!💞
And again another banger!!!! I keep saying: " nothing can beat this".....And then the next song comes. Absolutely on my shopping list!!
Cool, DJ! Next one will beat it once again... I promise 🙂
@@ArjenALucassen That's how I know you!! You have no idea how much happiness you are adding to my life. And I am absolutely not alone!
Just beautiful 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I can't wait for the full album ❤❤❤
Can't wait to share it, Michael, thanks!
Mark on the next album of Ayreon, gelieve!! 🗣️
Haha, dat is zeker een optie, Angel!
Love the red lipstick and as a big Mark fan I am happy ^^ mark gives his spark to the song and it's pure magic with his vocals. Although the song is already BOMB by itself but it's the special ingredient, you know? ;)
Thanks. Mark rules, and he did such a great job!
You can clearly see Ayreon's touch on this hahaha So creative, so awesome!!! Simone, gorgeous and talented as usual.
Thanks for the big compliment, Gina! Just been reading some nasty comments, so this feels good 🙂
I really like the very modern, futuristic aspect of the video. It's tasteful and straightforward. The bridge and the "Red equals danger" are the highlights of the song for me 🍒
Thanks Lucinda! Always good for this old fart to read the word 'modern' in the comments 🙂
They delivered yet again! I was not expecting a lyric video, but I suppose the details in the cover art was hinting at it. I can definitely connect these visuals to the modern era and its discord of sorts. Incredible track! I like the experimentation of it all, as well as Mark's involvement here - a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.
Glad we've been able to surprise you, thanks for your kind words!
@@ArjenALucassen I'm happy to support the art!
So much great music coming out! Simone and Arjen, you did it again! This could easily be a track from Star One. I love it.
Good to hear, thanks! Yeah, guess the riff is quite Star One-ish 🙂
Ik moest hem een paar keer luisteren, maar het is wéér een fantastisch lied nu voor mij. Petje af Simone en Arjen!
Mooi, fijn om te lezen! Een paar keer luisteren is goed 🙂Dank je!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Perfect 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
At this point I wouldn't be surprised to find a pure jazz song on the album. So freaking versatile
Haha, not really! But yeah, some eclectic stuff indeed.
The 2:30 part is stunning, I really wish it was repeated at least one more time, like at the end or something
You're right, Konrad, we should have done that!
@@ArjenALucassen Yeah the song is fantastic overall, but that part is just sublime. I guess I'll just have to listen to the song more often then 😉
@@EyesOfGehenna Thanks! At first I was afraid the part wouldn't fit the song because it's kinda bluesy.
@@ArjenALucassen Yeah, that goes to show that sometimes you've gotta take that risk. Oh and I've given it more thought but I think that it actually shouldn't be used more often in the song. I feel that it might devaluate what it does now. But hey, just my opinion.
Ждём с нетерпением! 😍❤
Love this song so much 3 bangers that are on replay 👏💯🔥🎤🎤💃
Excellent kristen, thanks for the extra views!
Everything Simone and Arjen touch is pure gold, good lord i love this!
Thanks for the confidence, glad you enjoy!
Reds my favorite color :), great track!
Mine too, Erik! Thanks 🙂
ooohh Mark's growls...
Love it very cool song!!
Extraordinary song! 🎶 💛🤘🌹
This is a fantastic song! ... And a perfect Cylon hymn :)
Thanks! By your command!
Je ziet er weer prachtig uit😍 En je zingt zo prachtig! I love you very much Simone ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fun fact: red is the very first colour we, humans, has learned to recognize and differentiate from our surroundings. Before that we knew only "light" and "dark". And then, we learned the colour of fire and colour of our blood, we recognize them as the same colour and named it as "red".
So, The Red = Fire and Blood. 🔥❤
Oh wow... interesting! Thanks, good to know!
Ok Aeterna, move aside! there's a new fave right now 🔥🔥🔥
Haha, good! I couldn't choose myself...
Ya estoy esperando que salga el disco. Excelentes temas y muy prometedores
Thanks, hope you'll enjoy the album!
@@ArjenALucassen that's for sure. She Is one of my favorites singers,you are one of my favorites musicians AND the rest of the team ITS just amazing.
Soooo good that song...!!!!!! The lyrics, the vocals, the music.. i have no words.. really.
Thank you Ayreon and Epica! Greetings from Greece 🇬🇷👋🏼💙
You're very welcome, Katerina, efcharisto! Glad you enjoy it so much 🙂
I love it ❤️❤️❤️
Really good song 🤘🏻🖤⚡
I love the deep lyrics about Artificial Intelligence! And the beat is so awesome!!! Love the guitar riffs😍😍😍🥳🤘🏻🎶Rise. Evolve. Dominate!!!!
Thanks, glad you enjoy it all! We're honored 🙂
❤ amazing. It will be a super hit.
Wow... hope you're right, thanks!
Wow ❤

Como siempre todo lo que venga de Simone es arte y perfección y eso sumando a Mark es la combinación explosiva que todos amamos. Necesito escuchar este álbum completo 🔥
Glad you enjoy it so much, Helen, hope you will enjoy the album too!
Simone ❤
I absolutely love this song! As always, Simone's voice is beautiful and crystal clear. I love that they incorporated Mark's growls. I think his growls fit perfectly with this song and it gives the song a little edge to it. Thank you Simone and Arjen for blessing us with this song! You should be very proud of this albu! This album is going to be amazing and I applaud you both. What you've created is amazing and I can't wait to hear more ❤
Wow... thanks for your inspiring words, much appreciated! Oh yes... we're extremely proud 🙂
Explosive track! 🤯 I love it so much! 🔥❤
Since I knew about this song, I was hoping that it is a single. I'm really happy, that my dream will come on Thursday and listen to this song for the first time.
Cool, Mandy! Hope it lived up to your expectations.
2 epica albums on their way!
Great song and video🤘
Good job peeps, keep it up!
🤘😎🤘
Thanks Mike, doing our best!
Sounds like a mix of industrial (older kmfdm), epica and ayreon. I love all three! Good job, this is amazing!
I can live with that, thanks Heather!
@@ArjenALucassenand thank you too! Also checking out your new content. I’m like a kid in a candy store
@@heathercaudle5444 Have fun 🙂
SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Little bit of a techno flavor in this one. Very nice. This upcoming a.i. revolution is going to be interesting.
Agreed! Oh yes, it will be quite scary...
Wow...
awesome song and super relevant right now ❤
Greeting from Indonesia Epica-Simone Simons❤
Just, WOW!
Where the fuck did this come from? How could RUclips let this out there for 7 days without notifying me? Fix that dang algorithm! This is music of the year material.
Nice one! Industrial AI vibes. Waiting for the full album release!
Напоминает одновременно Ayreon и Theater Of Tradegy времён альбома Musique.
Да, прикольная смесь получилась
I don't know that... will check it out, thanks for the tip!
Mark's vocals are really making it sick , good collab!
Fully agreed, Mark did such an amazing job indeed! Thanks 🙂
@@ArjenALucassen Thanks to you for such amazing work! I have been listening to Ayreon for a decade! Always surprising us with something outstanding!
Mark Jansen is like Matthew Tuck of Bullet for My Valentine when the single "Waking the Demon" was released. This is a hell of Epica and Rammstein in the same song, and possibly Bullet for My Valentine
Awesome, I want more :)
More is on the way.... thanks!
wow
LOVE YOU SIMONE SIMONS!!
So fresh ❤
Thank you all I appreciate you all love respect and prayers family
