I'll join you Sir in this Epica adventure in the reaction and the analysis as well! I enjoy this channel.👍 From 30 to 2k subscibers and counting! Ain't it amazing to see how many people are interested in your analysis of the lyrics of amazing bands like Epica.
I took me off guard, completely. Somebody said to me : you are so different than the others. You will find your public. He said that, I had only 200 subscribers at the time. And he told me another thing : The metal fans are very loyal. If you find your community, they will be there for you! Well, it seems that he got it right. totally!
@@GuylainPrince He was right indeed. Lyrics in Epica are about 50% of the songs by Mark Jansen and 50% by Simone Simons. They assumingly have both their own way to write lyrics when it comes to the use of words. Anyway I'm looking forward to the analysis later on this week.
Yup! Almost ready! Tomorrow 12:00 (19 in europe).
Jaap.. zijn wij toevallig oud collega's uit Brabant?
@@chrishuijboom Nee, ik heb nooit in Barabant gewerk.
Simone simons was born in 1985. She joined Epica somewhere between late 2002 - early 2003. She was actually only 17 years old (!!!) when she became lead singer of Epica. And she was 18 (not 19) years old when this album came out (2003). How about that for young! And she is not the only one who started so very young. Floor Jansen became lead singer of After Forever when she was just 16 years old!!! So these two Dutch queens were already fronting their bands at the incredibly young ages of 16 and 17!!!
WOW!!!
What a wonderful channel I've found here. The subtitles are very much appreciated. I applaud you for not shying away from what could be uncomfortable subject matters. I've always been very impressed what beautiful and intelligent music Epica made at such young age already.
You are right! They are great. Just finished the [ANALYSE] of "The Phantom Agony". First-class song. Don't miss it : it will be published in 2-3 days. I loved it so much! And thanks for the nice words.
YES YES YES, I have been waiting for this, when I get back to my parents home I will burn two candles : One for my grandma and on for you 👌🐱👤🎶
Cornellius : I loved it!
Thank you Guylain for sharing your journey with us.
I discovered Symphonic Metal and Epica few years ago. Since then, I explored Epica’s catalog and totally got hooked. By now I can say their work is incredible. I listened to many metal bands since I was a teenager (now 40) but never ever saw a band with 50 great songs including more than 10 top-notch masterpieces like Epica has. The creativity, compositions, musicianship, lyrics and consist quality are in a different level. Saw them live last year in a small venue and it was amazing. Real pros and nice people.
I strongly recommend to watch the Retrospect 10th anniversary concert (including full orchestra and choir) - one of the most ambitious and epic concerts in Metal history.
Enjoy your ride!
I will watch it, no doubt, in extenso, as soon as I finish this retrospective. I have downloaded it on my computer. Untli now, I have to say that it seems that I will agree with you. With After forever and this first EPICA record, I really find the level of quality quite high. Keep up with me. You will see how I react to tthe same material your are found of. Peace from Canada.
I'm loving this Epica analyses, they are my favorite band and have a lot of good lyrics. I'll wait for the next videos! :D
This week, I am on "Consign to Oblivion". I am totally thrilled!
I am a huge fan of your channel and a fan of Epica as well, so it is very nice to see you're reacting to their songs. If you intend to react to more songs from their older albums, I suggest you to look for the remastered versions that they released more recently, to enjoy a better mixing and a higher sound quality. Great job anyway, can’t wait for the next video!
Thanks for the encouragements! I will. Peace!
SUperb reaction!
Merci pour cette vidéo =) Epica est pour moi une bonne surprise , en fait j'avais déjà écouté du Epica sent le savoir sans le savoir via leurs reprise des générique de l'animée l'attaque des titan, je doit dire que je trouve la voix de Simone Simons trais impressionnante j’avoue que j'adore , merci encore pour cette vidéo et cette découverte j'ai vraiment beaucoup de plaisir a suivre les LM **O**
SUPER! C'est le sens de ma modeste chronique. J'aime vraimen faire cela car j'aime la musique, les mots et le sens qui s'en dégage! Très belle chanson sur une situation qui est très dure...
Late for the party, but I am staying for the EPICA ride. :)
Well! Enjoy this chronological survey, because in 6 weeks, we will be begin the new album from them. As soon as it comes out! Peace!
Finally somebody to pay attention to the great lyrics of the band. Now i have no idea when you are going to do The phantom agony but if have not recorded it yet then take at the recording from a Dutch TV called "the 2 meter session". They usually invited well known artist and arranged a studio, and then gave the artists the freedom to records their songs in a way that a normal commercial recordstudio would not allow them to. Even though the songs are recorded in a studio for the best result it is totally live and unedited, wich was a trademark of the show. The only exception they ever made to them inviting renowned artists was for Epica. The presenter received their debut album from the record company which is not unusual in the business. When he listend to it he was so impressed that he went over to the producer and said "you have to listen to this". This resulted in 1 hour special (released on dvd/cd) and this was one of the clips. They were all very young is indeed (Simone had just finished her vocal lessons). One of the people singing in the choir was one of her vocal coaches (the blond woman called Amanda Somerville). If you watch the whole hour you see that she is very proud of her pupil and gives her some encouraging signals. The string sections in the studio were all conservatory musicians who had no prior knowledge of the music they were going to play except for the papers in front of them. The dvd has been sold out as you can imagine. I bought my copy second hand for 50 euro's but it worth every penny. Here is the link to the clip and closing section with the string section is just define. ruclips.net/video/UAlRf9qf9d0/видео.html
Dear Ronald. Here is what I did : I listened first to the studio version with the lyrics in English. After, I listened to the version you suggest up here, and after the "retrospect 10 anniversary" edition. I will keep the first one in extenso; and select some comments of the other versions. It makes a nice 25 minutes videos. I find it interesting. Doing the subtitles.
@@GuylainPrince The ones you do are always interesting. ;-)
Mark Jansen has a psychology degree... And a mind open to all subjects, from religion to philosophy, universe and Humanity, politics and technology...
I've learnt and grown a lot with Mark's points of view.
I think he is remarkable! Yup!
The only I regret I have subscribing to this channel is that I can't subscribe twice! Loving your reactions and analysis.
Oh, what a nice comment! Well, watch as often as you like. You know what would make me very proud? That my videos gives you the interest to share, with your friends, other Epica or symphonic metal fans. Even here. These songs are great! Thanks again.
The Phantom Agony, Epica's debut album, is very much a continuation of the first two After Forever albums (Prison of Desire and Decipher) and shares very similar instrumental style and tone. Mark Jansen is the main songwriter of the first two AF records as well as the vast majority of Epica's material. He is very much the parallel of what Tuomas Holopainen is to Nightwish.
Also if you didn't notice: That is an 18 year old Floor Jansen singing on the first AF record, Prison of Desire when you did your The Embrace that Smothers recap.
I noticed VERY WELL! Of course! And I loved every minute of it! She was younger, her voice was not perfectly placed, BUT she was already amazing. Thanks for th input. Until now, I appreciate the lyrics and the music of Mark Jansen. Let's see if I have the same opinion in two months!
Salut Guylain! I've personally not delved into the Epica catalog much so I'll be watching/listening along with you. Looking forward to it!
You like symphonic metal? You will love them. They are in the same family of music as Nightwish, but they have a distinct personality, both in terms of music and wording. Tell me if you like them as we journey with them. A record of them is expected in the next year. So, it will fun to witness the new opus together.
@@GuylainPrince for some reason, even though I listen to a lot of symphonic and gothic metal acts, I've never spent the time to attack the Epica catalog. I've listened to a handful of tracks and some of them are in my phone's downloads for listening in the car, but I've not gone back to the beginning. Same thing with After Forever, ironically.
On a completely tangent note, have you ever heard of VNV Nation? VNV is essentially a solo act from Ronan Harris (an Irishman living in Germany) and the music is in a different genre. Ronan refers to it as Futurepop, and it's a pop/electronic/dance/dark mashup with symphonic elements thrown in. The music itself isn't as complex as Nightwish or Epica (but is always well-recorded, mixed, and engineered) but I think you may find Ronan's lyrics interesting.
I will look into that! Thanks for your comment.
@@GuylainPrince probably the best introduction to VNV nation is the third album, Empires. Burning Empires, an EP with some alternate versions of those songs and some new ones is also well worth the listen. Newer albums are cleaner and more pop, while the first two albums are a bit rawer and industrial, but if you like Empires and Burning Empires you will probably find a lot to enjoy in all of them.
Great start to an awesome new series....well played, Guylain!
The [ANALYSE] will be out Friday ! I loved it!
I am watching with interest Guylain. I must admit i have only listened to a few Epica songs and i am looking forward to digging in deep along with you to see what they have to offer.
I am up to three songs (recording), and I am very please with them. I think we have something special.
Guylain Prince, vous êtes devenu mon réacteur/analyste préféré. J'aime l'intégrité et la simplicité de vos vidéos, l'érudition que vous montrez sans prétention. Evidemment, chaque occasion d'écouter mes groupes favoris me fait peut-être un peu préjugée. Quand même, c'est la première fois que j'ai attendu impatiemment une sortie d'une émission à RUclips. Merci pour vos efforts et mes excuses si mon français contient des erreurs, ce n'est pas ma langue maternelle.
Amitiés des Pays-Bas
Ik ben blij met dit prachtige publiek uit Nederland. Zelfs vandaag de dag zijn er meer van jullie dan dat er Canadezen zijn. Dit avontuur begon met Within Temptation (LM. 01) en Epica (LM. 03 en 04). En nu zijn we terug bij jou. Ik ben hier heel blij mee. Welkom en veel plezier!
Je suis enchanté par ce beau public, en provenance des Pays-Bas. Encore aujourd'hui, vous êtes plus nombreux que les Canadiens!!!! Cette aventure a commencé avec Within Temptation (LM. 01) et Epica (LM. 03 et 04). Et là, nous renouons avec vous. Je suis enchanté par cela. Bienvenue et au plaisir !
Mark Jansen and Floor Jansen both founded After Forever. (Mark and Floor are no reletives but just have the same surname as Jansen/Janssen/Janssens is a very common name in Holland. Floor was once Simone Simons' vocal coach and both are still close friends.
Thanks for the insights! Until now, I have found nothing but excellent music in that field of music.
"After Forever, the second album, wow" - yeah, Decipher is kind of a legendary album. Definitely one of my favorite albums of all time.
Imagine that : I just discovered it, and I just want to go back. VERY RARE in my case.
Oh here we go, I'm so excited for this!
You won't be disappointed. It was great! Doing the subtitles for the analysis, tonight. Love it!
@@GuylainPrince I wait for Your analise. I hope You react song Kingdom of heven becous it's very interesting song to analise. Stay safe and healthy.
Et c'est reparti pour un voyage au pays des mots et des notes avec toi, super !!
Oui, mon cher Éric. Ça fait 3 chansons de Epica que j'enregistre et toujours avec le même plaisir. Donc, tu l'as bien dit: c'est reparti. Et je me sens comme ça, en effet!
Merci encore une fois M.Prince pour cette superbe reaction ! Lorsque vous aurez terminé EPICA je vous proposerais d'essayer un groupe
Prog/power metal Chrétien qui s'appelle Theocracy . Je suis certain que celà serait dans vos goût !
Vous êtes le deuxième à me le suggérer. J'en prends bonne note.
Then, I think you'd love to go through Devin Townsend's music... He has an inspiring life story. even though he'd been through a lot for his creativity and life challenges, he is now a jolly, humorous, humble, progressive metal god. I can't explain his range of beauty inside, both in the huge heart and genious brain... You can expect everything to turn into art when he touches it.
Yes! He has been suggested to me many times... I will dig into his repertoire in the coming year.
A piece of background info.. Mark studied psychology next to realizing his musical ambitions :)
Yes, I am aware of that! And it shos, so much! It was the first of a series. I got to know Mark a lot better... EPICA is again in the list of reation to do : their new album!
One just can't deny a song like this... sweet and harsh co-exist everywhere in EPICA's creation - as in life. And that the song gives voice to a strong message (hopefully to be heard by one fan or another...), makes the whole endeavor better. The entire EPICA back catalogue is made up of pretty deep music. The only problem? - Like with any great band, one could go 40 or 50 songs deep and still find gold nuggets. You witnessed that by going over fan suggestions. :))
Ha ha ha ! I could not believe it. On 7 album, 43 suggestions. And you know what? Some were very well argumented! I had to choose! But, I will do the new EPICA album when it will come out. I will be ready for it!
@@GuylainPrince Well to be precise it's 7 albums (not counting Live ones and 1 instrumental "score" album), but also 2 original EPs containing another 9 worthy songs. :)
If anything can be made from the band's recording diaries (vlogs) for the new one, the sound bits that they have been working on are impressive... Including a flight to Prague to capture a full orchestra in studio for the first time! Too early to guess the theme or concept, but we know EPICA will not hold back.
Dear Guylain, if you did not have the chance to check the snippets from upcoming album already, let me share just the newest Studio vlog entry from this week...
ruclips.net/video/NHy_ht95dO4/видео.html .
All this variety is supposedly going into the album! The band are doing a great job of getting us in the "right" mindset. :))
I am really grateful there are subtitles in this video, because my french is unexistent. I’ve very much enjoyed your reactions ro Epica and Nightwish, two of my fav bands. May I suggest Ne Obliviscaris? I have the feeling that you would enjoy their music :)
thanks ! Did you notice the Spanish subtitles? Are they any good? I have no clue if the translation is well done!
Guylain Prince Hello there!! I really cannot tell you, because I know not how to activate them (newbie here 😅), but I will surely find out how!
Originally released on their debut album in 2003, "Cry for the Moon" is one of the songs also included in Epica's third live album released in 2013 to celebrate their 10th anniversary as a band. Since then they have released only two studio albums, although a new album will be released later this year, so I'm looking forward to see how many of the other Epica songs that you'll react to are also included on the 2013 "Retrospect" live anniversary album. Hopefully at least "Sancta Terra" since you have already reacted to "Stabat Mater Dolorosa", which also featured Floor Jansen on stage with Simone Simons.
P.S. Simone Simons has said that she was inspired to start singing by Nightwish & their 1st female lead vocalist Tarja Turunen.
Example : I already listenned to "Phantom Agony", in Studio version, and live versions (two different ones). I will add few sections of my reactions to the live versions, if I have something to say about them! Best of both worlds!
I think that Decipher by After Forever deserves the same treatment you reserved to Human || Nature by Nightwish. It is an album that defines a musical genre and a favourite of mine. A proper track by track analysis done with your expertise would be wonderful.
Do you read my mind?!?
Maybe ;) It doesn't happen very often to have such a hidden-gem of an album from the early 2000s cited in reactions.
I will do more than that, one day! :-)
I loved the song. I admit I don't real understand the reason behind the growls, but I think it creates a such a strong contrast between Simone and Mark. She has such a beautiful voice. I do also admit that I have a respect for the people who can do the growls. It does add an element I'm not sure how describe. I wonder if you would consider doing a reaction to Within Temptations "Angels" video. here's the link ruclips.net/video/VK9qfVQ4Z04/видео.html. Sharon den Adel also has a beautiful voice and the group are very good. I hope you remain safe and well.
Me too, I have to admit that I was not open for growling, but I have to say that I haven't listen to EPICA before. From my point of view, and until now, it is the very best use of it. I enjoyed all three song (with growls). And I am surprised of that. So, I will continue. As for WT, it was my very first reaction. Look here : ruclips.net/video/eDzCPBvGKQ4/видео.html
Je peux recommender symphony x? Ils utilisent beaucoup de mythology pour créer leurs pièces, je crois que vous aimeriez bien! Having fun seeing you discover this music I love!
Thanks for the suggestion. Until now, this ride as been nothing short of wonderful!
Very much looking forward to this new series. Curious to find out your opinion of the music and of course your "exegesis" and "hermeneutics" of the lyrics 😉
I loved the two first ones (Façade and Cry For the Moon). Come back at the première, and especially the [ANALYSE], and tell me what you think.
@@GuylainPrince I will most certainly check it out.
Finally! Thank you brother! On point as always, but can i give a advice? Choose live vídeos, it will give more life to the reactions, you can find most of them in Retrospect show, We Will Take With Us Live Studio and in official vídeos. Peace Brother
I will always use a video with lyrics in English, but I will add, the next video, sections of the live version. I chose, also, NOT to take note in my first hearing, to keep that for a second one before I record my [ANALYSE]. My [REACTION] video should receive my full attention.
J'attendais cette réaction et je n'étais pas déçu 😉. Je vous invite à regarder la version "live" de cette chanson: ruclips.net/video/e77tLfkiVn8/видео.html
Autre détail: Mark a étudié la psychologie, on retrouve ces vues psychologique dans beaucoup - je dirais même la plupard - de ses textes. J'ai hâte de regarder l'interprétation de la chason... En fait, j'ai hâte de voir les interprétations de toutes les chansons, car il me semble qu'il y a une forte évolution dans ses pensées du monde métaphysique.
Excellent! L' [ANALYSE] est presque prête. Elle sera publoée avant demain midi. C'est très intéressant, tu vas voir. Oui, je suis d'accord : il y a une finesse de pensée dans l'écriture que je ne vois pas souvent. Le monde métal n'est pas toujours très nuancé. Ici, il l'est! Bravo!
Pour les versions live, oui, je les écoute, mais je ne les mettais pas dans le tournage. À partir de la chanson "The Phantom Agony", je vais ajouter des extraits de mes réactions aux versions live. Tu vas voir, c'est intéressant!
Gonna be interesting...!
It was!
When you kept mentioning After Forever but not the singer of the band... I felt a little sad ;)
Having said that this is an Epica song so I'll try and avoid mentioning... erm... Floor... too much, although Floor and Simone are both fantastic singers and great friends in life as well.
I loved Epica long before I heard of Nightwish but since Floor joined them I became a dedicated Nightwish fanatic... Oh I mentioned her again didn't I.
Sorry can't help myself :)
Don't worry, I did not want to focus on After Forever in an EPICA [REACTION] video. But you can be sure that I listened attentively the young Floor. She was already amazin, wasn't she?
@@GuylainPrince my favourite is Dreamflight at progrock festival in the US. Actually check out Metallwish (if you don't know his channel yet), he remastered a lot of old After Forever, Nightwish, Epica, The Gathering and more videos.
Maybe you'll find some nice versions there to react to when needed. Oh and for early Nightwish also check out Nightwish Arena's channel (again if you don't know it already lol)
@@GuylainPrince She was and always will be :)
I usually get subtitles on the TV on your videos, but I am only getting them on my phone. 😕
This is something I can't give an answer for you. So sad to hear that!
🙏🙏🙏👏
:-)
Hi, Brother Guylain. I am interested to say the least. :) It will be fun to watch how you attempt to trace the story of the band's development over time. I am OK as well that you went with the studio version for the first one - although for some songs, live versions transmit more energy and / or emotion. That is especially true for the acoustic "Feint", and for almost any songs included in the "Retrospect" show.
Do you consider publishing the titles of the 10 songs that got the most "votes", so that we can plan for the ones that excite us, or would you rather keep the surprise? :)) Let's get on this ride!
Oh, that's is a good idea. Publishing the list of the 11 (because I settled for eleven)? Yup, that will be done very soon. As for the history of the band, I will work more on "the history of their writings/compositions"; how did they evolve in the subjects and in their approach to the subjects? You will see, it is fascinating. Another point : I am aware of the question of the live versions. I promised you one thing. I will work on the version with lyrics (whether studio or live), but I will always watch the version that was recommended to me. All your suggestions have been noted, and will be listened to in proper time. At least, I might react to "what the live version adds to the song". That should be fun!
@@GuylainPrince I quite like the idea regarding "doubling" of select song reactions to cover live versions. It would not consume as much time as the initial thoughtful reaction, but would add to the fun! I understand that starting with a lyric video is ideal from the perspective of paying attention to what it says. (And yes, some visuals CAN be distracting.) Just resign to the fact that you will hardly find more informative and better lyric videos that the latest ones from NIGHTWISH! But hey, those were a kind of "non plus ultra" for the medium. :)
I know that so well! I have never seen anything like those of Nightwish. From what I can see, most of lyrics videos are made by third parties. That is ok as long as due money goes the artists. I just did what I just said to you. I recorded my reaction to "The Phantom Agony", and I kept the recording on while I listened to two live versions. Fascinating!
@@GuylainPrince Since you want to use clips with Lyrics in them if you decide to take a at one of their most beautiful songs "Feint' then definitely use the 2 meter session clip. The audio excellent and lyrics are included and man does Simone sound awesome. The song is about the assassination of a Dutch politician (Pim Fortuyn) that had a big impact on society and that could have been our next PM at the time this came out. Here is the link. ruclips.net/video/FNTaIz5cABY/видео.html
Can't wait to see what you think of this!! Also: I'd love to see you react sometime to Ayreon. His "The day that the world breaks down" is great example of the many gorgeous works of prog rock he created. ruclips.net/video/oFuMKdrzPqU/видео.html
I will CERTAINLY do that one day. Somebody brought to my attention the Ayreon project almost three months ago. It sounded fabulous, but there was 7-8 singers in the song. I realized that it was some kind of rock opera, with characters. I stopped immediately. I will come back when I will have time to give my full attention. BTW, - spoiler alert! - I loved Epica's "The Cry For the Moon".
@@GuylainPrince Lovely reaction!! AND you are right about the psychology too: Mark ( the principal writer) has studied psychology. Love to see you make this series of Epica. You'll come to see how much they have evolved musically. But also Simone in her singing. Thank you for giving them the attention they deserve. And watch out: a new album is going to be released by the end of this year!
The meaning of life is 47 ( hitchhikers gide to the galaxy)
Ok. ! This is a suggestion of song to listen to?
Epica, Nightwish, RUSH... maybe Kamelot, Delain oooh and how about The Gathering ???
Kamelot and Delain, are on my radar. But not "The Gathering", yet. Any suggestion for a first song?
Oooooohh, I like where you're going here!
@@GuylainPrince ooh, always hard to pick just one... but since we're on a music journey, start with "Travel".
There's a great 25 years of The Gathering live version to react to ruclips.net/video/Y46Lft_BZxo/видео.html and of course an album version without distracting video ruclips.net/video/Mq39mQXoGZc/видео.html
Also I'd recommend to research their singer Anneke van Giersbergen (1994-2007) she's the first big female rock/metal singer from the Netherlands and inspired many metal singers like Floor to follow their dreams.
Since 2007 she's been ever so busy with many projects, collabs/guest vocals, theatre shows, and a solo career... her full resume is impressively long... and you'll recognise many bands, musicians, projects she's worked with.
(The Gathering is also still active by the way)
Love where you're coming from, and love your style.
Even though I do not speak French, your passion shines through in every language.
A suggestion for a later reaction: Metallica, Fade to Black. (One of the better live versions: ruclips.net/video/0FMfsT11pdA/видео.html)
A song that is a bit controversial, and a bit sinister. Lyrics about the feeling and thoughts of a person on the edge of suicide. (Does not end well.) Music underscores the chaos within.
Metallica is on my list. What do you think? At one point, I will do one band from Europe/one from North America/Europe/North America, etc. I think that could be fun. Would you appreciate that?
@@GuylainPrince I don't think I would group the bands by where they came from originally. By age or style would probably make more sense, to me at least.
"And then maybe think a little bit about the meaning of life"
You are doing it, creating those video`s, as we are made in the images of the Creator, we must be here to create as well, in a lesser degree of course, I would also argue that it give you meaning in life, when you create, think most would agree, unless your full of anger/hate/envy/greed and like to destroy instead, always easier to destroy then create and I guess, is the opposite polarity.
The Principle of Polarity:
This Principle embodies the truth that "everything is dual"; "everything has two poles"; "everything has its pair of opposites," all of which were old Hermetic axioms. It explains the old paradoxes, that have perplexed so many, which have been stated as follows: "Thesis and antithesis are identical in nature, but different in degree"
The Principle of Correspondence
:
This Principle embodies the truth that there is always a Correspondence between the laws and phenomena of the various planes of Being and Life. The old Hermetic axiom ran in these words: "As above, so below; as below, so above." And the grasping of this Principle gives one the means of solving many a dark paradox, and hidden secret of Nature. There are planes beyond our knowing, but when we apply the Principle of Correspondence to them we are able to understand much that would otherwise be unknowable to us. This Principle is of universal application and manifestation, on the various planes of the material, mental, and spiritual universe--it is an Universal Law. The ancient Hermetists considered this Principle as one of the most important mental instruments by which man was able to pry aside the obstacles which hid from view the Unknown. Its use even tore aside the Veil of Isis to the extent that a glimpse of the face of the goddess might be caught. Just as a knowledge of the Principles of Geometry enables man to measure distant suns and their movements, while seated in his observatory, so a knowledge of the Principle of Correspondence enables Man to reason intelligently from the Known to the Unknown. Studying the monad, he understands the archangel.

WOW ! Thanbks for the great contribution! Love it!
Mark Jansen n'est pas famille avec Floor Jansse, mais ont été ensembles dans After Forever
Exact! Il y avait du talent dans AF, je te le dis!
Frère Guylain, je propose que vous voyez aussi la video clip officielle. Salut d' Athènes.
ruclips.net/video/FLT1oU1OGwQ/видео.html
Oui, c'est celui que je suggère dans la description box. Le problème avec la vidéo officielle c'est qu'elle ne contient pas les paroles.
Gonna give it an audio quality warning though, if it is indeed the "2-meter sessies" version. There is a lot of distortion that shouldn't be there
No, I took a studio version. I did not like the distortion of "Façade of Reality". The one I picked was excellent in terms of sound quality. Don't worry!
@@GuylainPrince thank god (or goodness, or both :D)
Those distortion have to do with encoding methode used. The recordings are impeccable on de DVD itself :-)
@@ronaldboers8061 yeah i know... and based on your comment i did a quick search and there is a good version around! Of the entire session even!

Bonjour , J 'ai ate je ne connais pas vraiment Epica...une chose est sur , cela va être dur de passer derriere Nightwish ,la barre est très haute ;)
Soyez confiant! Des chefs-doeuvres, on en trouve 4-5 fois dans notre vie. Ça ne peut pas être comme ça chaque album. Mais soyez ouverts et vous ne serez pas déçu! Je peux déjà vous le dire. Ça fait trois "tunes" d"Épica que je fais, et c'est vraiment intéressant. Musicalement, ils sont uniques et leurs thèmes sont toujours stimulants, dérangeants. La [REACTION] sort demain après-midi, heure du Québec.
Inquiète toi pas. Epica est une très bonne band. C’est ma deuxième band favorite après Nightwish
Je les trouve très bon,s même dans leur très jeune âge. J'ai hâte d'entendre leurs œuvres de maturité.
Guylain Prince la chanteuse de Epica (Simone) a pris sont inspirations de Nightwish du temp de Tarja

I don't think lyrics fit this style of singing in this song. I would give it 6/10 and probably wouldn't buy the album. Maybe their later stuff is better. This just a personal opinion, of course.
Ah, surprising thoughts... The combination of the different interprets does not seems appropriate to you? Personnaly, I loved it. I would like to read you in the next songs...
