    How good it is to be a fan of this band haha
    Epica is a really music box. From classical to melodic death passages in minutes 🔥

    Epica has many incredibly heavy songs but this one may be the heaviest -
    Epica - The Great Tribulation

      Okay - so if people upvote this comment then I'm gonna do it!!! Cos every time I think I've heard their heaviest song, you lot keep telling me there's a heavier one! 😁🤟😆👍👍👍

      @ That will be great
      BTW - besides Epica’s heaviest songs, there are also many extremely heavy moments within their other songs, but Epica is much more than just heaviness.

      For sure! I can't remember if I mentioned this in the video, but I definitely feel like I've neglected Epica a little bit. They basically introduced me to Nightwish and numerous other symphonic metal bands. I owe it to Epica to do more reactions to their stuff, because it's great and I have a lot of fun listening to them.

    Death Of A Dream is one of their heaviest songs and I’ve never seen anyone react to it, this one should be next ❤❤

      Cheers Marie. Don't think anyone has recommended this one before.

      @ it’s a very underrated not well known song by them. You just know it if you heard the full discography

    How great to see you come back to Epica!! And with one of my favorite songs!!! It’s definitely on the heavier end, but they’ve got a HUGE discography with a huge range of music-I saw some other people have already given great recommendations, but one I’ll throw in is In All Conscience from Omega Alive. I don’t think it’s their heaviest song, but nonetheless I’m obsessed with how unexpectedly gritty the guitar riffs are compared to the vocals.
    Speaking of the vocals, you’re totally right! One thing I love about Simone and that makes her so special is the versatility and balance she’s achieved with her voice. She can transition SO fluidly between classical and contemporary technique, and that’s not easy to do. It’s very musical theater-esque, and that’s also part of what gives her such great diction. I love that her words are so easy to understand, cuz a lot of singers lose that, especially when they go more classical or into their higher range, but she doesn’t. So another song I’ll throw in for recs just for her vocals is Once Upon a Nightmare from Omega Alive. Cuz I don’t think you’ve really heard yet just how powerful her voice can be when she wants it to. It’s a masterclass, and just a masterpiece of a song all around.

      Hey stranger hope you're all good and well 😊 There is certainly a lot for me to pick from this band so thanks so much for your recs and breakdowns. They all sound extremely enticing 😁 And you are bang on with regards to Simone's enunciation. I didn't really think about this until you mentioned it! lol

    A old great song. Why not jump to their newest song. Epica - Arcana (Symfonic Synergy live). My favorite at the moment 😁

    • @melvinthinks
      @melvinthinks  20 дней назад +1

      Think I still want to explore more of their past before I hit their current stuff. But I might listen to this outside of RUclips 😁

    If you want more HEAVY Epica, try Ascension - Dream State Armageddon. It is a lyric video, using the original audio but synced to concert footage… ruclips.net/video/uIuEgxP2A4c/видео.html

    This is definitely one of their heavier ones. Lead single from the 6th album, 2014's The Quantum Enigma. Lyrics by Mark(guitar/harsh vocals), music by Arien(drums).
    Yeah, please come back to sooner than a year, lol. When you do, a couple of heavier ones to try: "Design Your Universe" live from Retrospect 10th anniversary concert in 2013, and "Universal Death Squad", (official lyric video).

    • @melvinthinks
      @melvinthinks  15 дней назад +1

      Yeah - a year was a bit of a piss take! lol UDS is definitely their heaviest song title! 😆

    Glad to see another Epica reaction. One of my top favorite bands, love the heavier influenced symphonic metal myself
    Consign To Oblivion is their heaviest song imo. if you do that one make sure to do the "live at the zenith" version, its the best quality one.
    Edit: Youve allready done this one i forgot (so many reactions hard to keep track) please ignore lol
    Kingdom of Heaven parts (they have 3 parts) have very heavy bits as well, but each part is a journey in itself.

      Hey how you doing? Happy New Year if I haven't already said it to you 🥳 You made me question myself if I'd already done "Consign To Oblivion" 😆 I wish RUclips would make it easier to search for videos on the mobile app via the channel page. You can do it through the desktop/browser. It's a real pet peeve I have, because otherwise viewers have to either scroll through every video or find playlists, and Epica don't have a playlist yet. I only do playlists for bands that have >=4 songs. So they will get one 👍

    • @naxisgamingyt9126
      @naxisgamingyt9126 19 дней назад

      @melvinthinks lol I'm doing alright thank you. Happy New Year to you as well. I did edit and say you did a reaction to it and to ignore that part lol, I had forgotten, it has been awhile, and a lot of reactions

    • @melvinthinks
      @melvinthinks  17 дней назад

      It's all good, mate. Even I forget which songs I've reacted to for certain bands now! lol I have to have them all on an Excel spreadsheet nowadays 😄
