Fun fact, when they were studying music at university Floor and Simone were flatmates. The founder of Epica, Mark Jansen (no relation to Floor, though Floor has a sister Irene who works on Ayreon projects and is lead singer of the band Karma) formed the band After Forever in '95. In '97 Floor joined After Forever. In 2002 Mark left to form Epica with Simone. Floor stayed with After Forever to 2009 when the band broke up. Floor went on to form ReVamp which toured with Epica in 2010. Then Floor had some serious health issues and took over a year off to heal. When she was healed ReVamp went to work on a second album and it was nearly finished, but it was put on hold in October 2012 while Floor stepped in to sing with Nightwish to replace Anette Olzon who was fired in the middle of the Imaginaerum world tour (leading to the famous "Floor, can you learn the setlist in 48 hours before the next concert?" request from Tuomas). ReVamp finished their second album after the Nightwish tour was completed, but it was disbanded a year later in October 2013 when it was announced that Floor was joining Nightwish as a permanent member. And thus ends our history lesson of the small highly interconnected world of Euro gothic and symphonic metal.

Fun thing this song isn't even one of their heaviest. Epica is hands-down one of the most heavy symphonic metal bands, sometimes they're borderline death metal. Check more of them!

These days, 75% of Americans hate Metal. It's sad. Metal is not recognized enough.

[@MadameChristie]

Now you HAVE to look at their live performance of Sancta Terra with Floor from Nightwish XD

[@erwindegroot8760]

I guess it's now time for Sancta Terra from the Live Retrospect Show with Simone and Floor Jansen.

[@markfrancis6886]

I would leave Sancta Terra for a bit, great though it is. For more power and epic(yes, really) do kingdom of heaven. Design Your Universe is awesome as well. For a masterclass in vocals try Chasing the Dragon and if you want to cry do Tides of Time or Once upon a Nightmare. They have it all. If you do Sancta Terra follow it up with Stabat Matar Dolorosa from the same show, because that is beyond comprehension

[@Alithia451]

Another fun fact: Simone likes anime, that is why they did Epica vs Attack on Titan.

[@daanvandee257]

You are going to love Epica - Kingdom of heaven. That's another of their masterpieces.

SENSORIUM by EPICA💀🕷💀

[@everett880]

Here for the Poison Ivy 🌹♥️

[@smp7077]

If you like Epica and Nightwish..... Sancta Terra from retrospect show

[@felipecampos3045]

oh man, you should hear Epica playing Design your universe Live. Chills every time

[@AweHitero]

since we're at it.. how 'bout "Kamelot ft. Simone Simons - The Haunting live at Norway (2006) ᴴᴰ"? =P

[@zealeus]

You mention, "It looks like they're having fun!" I saw them (with Sabaton) in Atlanta this week, and that was part of what blew me away that you don't get from this video - it was evident from their showmanship and goofing around with each other on stage that they were having a blast and enjoy playing together! Just constant little interactions with the other band mates. That stage presence and feeling like the band actually enjoys playing together really adds to the feel of the show. And as you mention at the end - Epica and Sabaton totally should be playing on a bigger stage, but it's also fun to have a more intimate stage!

[@Antonio-tn9cl]

Another great Ducht symphic metal band!!! Simone and Floor Jansen are good friends and you should check Sancta Terra Feat.F.J.....what a ride!!!

[@fbjsfc]

"design your universe" one of their greatests...

[@VIKINGKING95]

Was just listening to EPICA awesome band. You would love the kingdoms of heaven part 1 and 2 although it would be like a 40 minute reaction but well worth it

[@juliettemcgee9055]

You know it's going to be epic when his hat's gone off. Fun fact: Coen the keyboardist actually plays the first few notes of La Marseillaise (the national anthem of France) at around almost 5-minute mark of the video. C'est magnifique!

[@Cosmos_Titan]

Do I hear "I Want My Tears Back" in the background?🤭

[@Turambar88]

I loved your reaction at the beginning. "Did she just tell them to do a wall of death?"
