Epica is my absolute favorite symphonic metal band. I love the mix of Simone's beautiful voice, the growl and the heavy sound. And they mix it all perfectly.
You should check out Epica - Kingdom of Heaven Live. It's an amazing roller coaster of a song that you're going to love. Oh, and be sure to let us know as soon as possible which Netflix show you're going to be in so we can check it out.
Make sure it's a the live version. There is an official video, but it's not as 'Epic' as the fan-made live one imho. The offical vid is well done, but I find the live registration to have a better vibe.
Dude, you’ve just started to get to know Epica.. they have dozens of mind-blowing songs. Try these - - Unleashed - Design Your Universe - The Holographic Principal - Sensorium
Sensorium??? Really??? It is good of course but an average Epica song, nothing really mind blowing. Facade of Reality is a mind blowing song from The Phantom Agony album.
Serenade of Self-Destruction, Chasing the Dragon, Ascension: Dream State Armageddon.. Heck, you could even listen to their versions of Imperial March and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Unleashed, Phantom Agony, Design Your Universe, Divine Conspiracy, Kingdom of Heaven, Quantum Enigma - Kingdom of Heaven II, Unchain Utopia, Essence of Silence, Sancta Terra, Obsessive Devotion, Cry for the Moon, Chasing the Dragon....
That's the magic of symphonic metal and bands like Epica and Nightwish, they can make fusions like this and are amazing. That's why I love them, and look for more fusion of genres, you don't know what can make you feel. Everybody is recomending Kingdom of heaven, you really have to listen and react to it. Is absolutely stunning. Great reaction, handsome, here we are enjoying every second! :)
All those singers, Floor, Simone, Sharon den Adel, Anneke van Giersbergen, Devin Townsend, Bruce Dickinson, James LaBrie, and so on and so on, come together on the projects of Ayreon. The master behind all of this is the dutch Arjen Lucassen. In september there will be several concerts in the Netherlands en the fans are coming from all over the world. Nightwishfans, Epicafans, Dream Theaterfans and and and.....🤘🏻😊
The band that started that kind of music is called Theater of Tragedy. Check out the album “Velvet Darkness they Fear”. The text are also very well written, in Shakespearian English.
You need to add a male voice to that list! ;P Roy Khan from Kamelot. He has a wonderful duet with lady Simone. :D And there is a live recording of it too! It's called The Haunting. ^^
@@saracarumbakaddoura9537 Me too!!! Kamelot's new singer does a wonderful job, but there is just something special to Khan's voice, in the sound of it, rather than the technique. :)
@@briannak.wealder3556 I concur. I suggested Elizabeth I,II, and III due to the back story, the contrast of all 3 parts, and the prowess displayed by Khan in all three songs. OmG, just thinking about that live performance got me swooning!!
I really like Your style 😊. Thank's again Bro! A pleasure, looking Your reactions. " Mr. Rock N Roll's channel is a box of chocolate.You never know, what You get" 😁
Oh, I forgot to mention one other thing about Kamelot. Alissa (of Arch Enemy) is a frequent backing vocalist for Kamelot, but with Kamelot she does clean vocals.
I've been lucky to see Epica twice in my hometown (one of them with Dragonforce!!), and they put a hell of a show. One of those I was able to get a vip ticket and met them face to face, and they're freakin cool and funny, and Simone in person.... "nosebleed". While in the same genre, they're definitly heavier sounding than Nightwish, and Mark Jansen's (not afiliated with Floor :p) growls definitely help, love the contrast between his harsh growls and Simone heavenly voice.
Dude - my whole life I knew Epica was possible. But never found it until I was 45 years old. If only my 17 year old metal head self had a time machine. Welcome.
Unleashed, Ascension: Dream State Armageddon, Divide and Conquer, Kingdom of Heaven, Design Your Universe, Chasing the Dragon, The Divine Conspiracy, The Holographic Principle, Universal Death Squad, Serenade of Self-Destruction... I wanted to name a few at the beginning but my brain told me to mention like every other song that's worth listening to. Epica ♡
I absolutely loved your reaction ! So funny!! Epica is such a vast and rich band. Next time react to Design your Universe (live Retrospect), Kingdom of Heaven, Essence of Silence live, The Obsessive Devotion live. Simone writes some lyrics, Mark (lead guitars) also writes and arranges the guitar parts, and all the orchestra and choir arrangements are done and created by Coen (keyboards). These guys are Outstanding musicians. Greetings from Argentina !!
3 female lead singers. Those are rookie numbers. You've got to pump those numbers up. Check out the band Within Temptation. Another great female vocalist by the name of Sharon den Adel. Also Dutch like Floor and Simone.
Love this one and this live performance is just killer ! I really recommend the official live version of The Essence Of Silence (my favorite song by them)
Storm the Sorrow and Tides of Time are also excellent. Her name is Simone Simons btw! Check out fellow Dutch bands Within Temptation and Delain. I think you will love those ladies too.
well that's 2 of the big dutch lady singers done, other one left is Sharon Den Adel at Within Temptation who's another vocal beast. Must admit I was at download (i'm on the pic of the band selfie at the end of the gig) and i didn't expect a wall of death but sheesh. Still think you should listen to Tarja though, nightwish are the projenitors of symphonic metal and Tarja has been a massive influence on the singing style, admitted by Simone herself in interviews. though must admit after hearing this again i'm ready for a little Amon Amarth or Arch Enemy
I saw them live about 2 years ago in a small club and they were....Epic of course! Very good live, as you can see in this vid. I took my 18 yr old son, who didn't really know them and he's a fan now.
When the crowd separates and runs at each other like that at the start it is called a wall of death. It happens at metal shows when the song gets slow and then really heavy. You also see it in the video for Teacher, Teacher by Jinjer.
My favorite band ever, been to their cd releases and its always a party. Consign is always their closer, and with their 10 year anniversary concert that was 3.5 hours. Their drummer is called the beast for a reason lol Greets from the Netherlands 🤘😎🤘
Epica "We will take you with us". An older performance but in a slightly more intimate setting with a backup orchestra and vocals ruclips.net/video/ZTCbugaGzfI/видео.html. Something to truly make you appreciate Simmone's voice. Rest well and good luck with the Netflix gig
6:11 The Netherlands : Home to the BEST Female fronted Metalbands.. Anneke van Giersbergen with The Gathering, Within Tamptaion ( Sharon donned big gowns before Evenescence started) , After Forever ( which had Floor Jansen on vocals, she went to Finland's Nightwish ) Delain with Charlotte Wessels, Dianne van Giersbergen fronting German Xandria, Stream of Passion with Dutch/Spanish Marcella Bovio
Your reactions make my day!! Every time :D How about another gem from Finland after the Epica journey? I am throwing Amorphis into the pot! The singer Tomi has beautiful clean vocals but also badass growls. Listen to "Amongst Stars" with lovely Anneke van Giersbergen, or "Death of a King" and "The Bee"!
Yay for doing this. Now, you've reacted to Sabaton, who Floor's husband plays drums for, so now you have to react to Kamelot, who Simone's husband is the keyboardist for. I recommend Sacrimony as your first Kamelot reaction. I feel like I have to see that.
06:00 The Dutch approach to Symphonic Metal I guess.. Though there been more female fronted "rock bands in the easrly years" like Jefferson Airplane...Earth and Fire where a Dutch prog Rock band with female vocals that also inspired the ladies I mention further on..( Earth and Fire... nice to react to some of their songs..the origins so to speak) . Anneke van Giersbergen started it in 1988 with The Gathering, accros the pond Evanescence followed years later, Withinn Temptation grew bigger, Inspired Simone Joanna Simons and Floor Jansen to also go for a female high approach to Metal, When Whitin Tempation broke through, keyboardist Martijn Westerholt grew ill, and left the band. He formed Delain with Charlotte Wessels.
You should react to Kamelot. Best to start with anything from the One Cold Winter's Night concert like Forever, Center Of The Universe, Elizabeth, When The Lights Are Down, & Somewhere In Time (a duet with Simone Simons of Epica). Fun fact: Epica took their name from Kamelot's album by the same name.
The Wall of Epic! Very cool! I love when bands get the audience involved. Have you ever witnessed Slipknot's Spit It Out (Jump the Fuck Up)? Audience participation on another level! It's on my bucket list to experience, for sure! I'll probably die during it, but what a way to go!! 🤘
Hey, just to help: what they did there at the beginning, splitting the crowd to clash back together is called a wall of death its a form of moshpit that you'll often see when there's a hefty part in a song coming 🙂 PS: don't know if it'll be your thing (it's only growls) but Gojira is a very awesome band that often warrants wall of deaths or circlepits, try their songs silvera or stranded
Epica literally too their name from an album by the band Kamelot, called, what else, but EPICA. Simone Simons is actually married to Kamelot's keyboard player Oliver Polotai. So they have a VERY long standing history wth this band.
Of course, if you are going to be checking out the female-fronted Dutch symphonic metal scene, you are also going to have to check out Delain (lead singer is Charlotte Wessels, and your buddy Marko from Nightwish is a frequent co-conspirator) and Within Temptation (lead singer is Sharon del Adel, and they often have guest vocalists from other genres). Delain - Masters of Destiny, The Gathering (live at Masters of Rock 2017 with Marko) Within Temptation - Shot in the Dark, Faster, the Whole World is Watching (the version with Piotr Rugucki), Paradise (with Tarja - first singer of Nightwish), And We Run (with Xzibit)
Love this band!!! You might want to give a listen to "Eluveitie - Call of the mountains", "Xandria - Ravenheart", "Witin Temptation - Sinead" and "Delain - Masters of Destiny" .. if you liked Epica, you will love those
Epica is my absolute favorite symphonic metal band. I love the mix of Simone's beautiful voice, the growl and the heavy sound. And they mix it all perfectly.

@@erwinmulder1338 I completely agree. the fan-made version is the one he should check out.
@@erwinmulder1338 yes, with English lyrics
@@thebear128 I'm hoping there's going to be an official live version shot at the upcoming 'Design Your Universe' anniversary tour.
I love Simone Simmons voice! The operatic tone she has is truly captivating. I love the women of Rock and Metal. They make my ear holes excited.
Dude, you’ve just started to get to know Epica.. they have dozens of mind-blowing songs. Try these -
- Unleashed
- Design Your Universe
- The Holographic Principal
- Sensorium
Don't forget Universal Death Squad!

Roy Khan from Kamelot.
He has a wonderful duet with lady Simone. :D And there is a live recording of it too! It's called The Haunting. ^^
and Mr Karevik is not too shabby either!
Roy Khan Elizabeth I,II,III live!!!!!! Oh I miss Kamelot with Roy!
@@damienmaynard8892 I respect Tommy with Kamelot; they did a lot of great work.

Wintersun "sons of winter and stars" 😅 then Beast in black "blind and frozen"
Yes
12:56 - "She stands out so much from all the other people in the band"
OF COURSE SHE DOES!!! SHE'S THE ONLY REDHEAD FEMALE OUTHERE!!!
I've seen them live four times. They are awesome live and Simone is even more beautiful in person! 😍
I really like Your style 😊. Thank's again Bro! A pleasure, looking Your reactions. " Mr. Rock N Roll's channel is a box of chocolate.You never know, what You get" 😁
React to Epica - Kingdom of heaven (LIVE) 💓🙌🏻
Mark Jansen On The Growl, Very Cool! Love Epica very Much!
DUDE. You dont even know. Listen to all their shit. Fucking amazing! So glad you discovered them!!
those poeple in the moshpit did whats called a wall of death.
Check out Simone's husband's band too, He's the keyboardist for Kamelot
Oh, I forgot to mention one other thing about Kamelot. Alissa (of Arch Enemy) is a frequent backing vocalist for Kamelot, but with Kamelot she does clean vocals.
He doesn't know (propably) what Arch Enemy is !!! ;-)
We have to "educate" him for a while... Ferst steps...
truth4all01 needs to hear Angela too.

Poison Ivy is Simone Simons :)
I was at this live. It was just... epic !
Love the song. Love your reaction! Simone Simons
Where have they been? Most of them (including Floor) in the Netherlands and more generally North-Western Europe.
Epica - Cry for the moon (We will take you with us version)
Epica - Unleashed
\m/
There are lots of greate epica songs. Sugest Epica-kingdom of heaven live. That one is a masterpiece 😁.

Sean Murphy something in the water in that country, let’s not forget Anneke.
@@sugoruyo yes, the gathering deserves more props.
Absolutely. Mr Rock and Roll can do a 2 for 1 with this Song. Sharon and Anneke together.

How about spiritbox xD
Hi Mr, Rock N Roll, thank you so much for reacting to song, greetings from Denmark
Great Song! Simone is great too.
Love this one and this live performance is just killer !
I really recommend the official live version of The Essence Of Silence (my favorite song by them)
Epica - Universal Death Squad...One of their best songs imo, there are many though 😊 I'm gonna call Simone Poison Ivy from now on 😀🤘
Storm the Sorrow and Tides of Time are also excellent. Her name is Simone Simons btw! Check out fellow Dutch bands Within Temptation and Delain. I think you will love those ladies too.
🤘🤘❤️🤘🤘 Dude, congratulations for real on the gig!!! 🤘🤘
One of the best live performances ever !!
You've never seen a wall of death at a metal show before? You need to get out more! 😂Great reaction, do more Epica please! Obsessive Devotion! 😁
Some people have called Floor and Simone: Xena and Gabrielle. 😁
This make laugh so hard jajajajaja
The keyboard is mounted on a track in the upper part of the stage, he rides it back and forth. Neat as hell.
EPICA its Beautiful METAL

@@SummerFlowNightSleep ,must admit i rate Dianne van Giersbergen highly too
Anneke, Dianne van Giersbergen, and also Charlotte Wessels of Delain :)
The haunting live with Kamelot and Simone in Oslo 2006 would be great :)
React to Epica- The Essence Of Silence live, it’s awesome ❤️
Mariela Oquendo Rodriguez Damn right can't wait to see them Jan 5th in L.A.

Oh my! That feeling when you see your comment at the beggining 😍 Now try out more Epica!
Is super fun to see you discovering this bands!!! LOL Looks like me when i did
Any noise??? Interesting!!!!

We the dutch have amazing female front singers, Floor(nightwish), simone(Epica) Sharon(Whitin Temptation) and Anneke(the Gathering). So proud!
They have at least 20 kick ass songs EPICA
Also excellent video clip from Epica is "Storm the sorrow". Symbolic and cool.
Homeboy is Coen and Poison Ivy is married to Oliver from Kamelot who is a keyboardist to be witnessed to be believed.
More épica yeaaaah! Kingdom of heaven !!!

New EPICA cd omega amazing, great reaction as usual 😄
Epica is the best symphonic metalband out there♥️♥️♥️🤘🤘🤘

Love Epica, you must check out Within Temptation like the others have said, live stuff from black symphony
Hello another great reaction.
this is one of my favorite songs ever
You should also try Nightwish with their first singer, Tarja Turunen (Pronounced: "Tar-ya") with the song Nightwish - Phantom of the Opera
mirevolver ♥️♥️♥️🤘
Epica - The essence of silence ( official video )
9:45 YOU MISSED THE KEYBOARDIST TOSSING HIS KEYBOARD ACROSS THE STAGE AND CATCHING IT LOL

Your reactions make my day!! Every time :D
How about another gem from Finland after the Epica journey? I am throwing Amorphis into the pot! The singer Tomi has beautiful clean vocals but also badass growls. Listen to "Amongst Stars" with lovely Anneke van Giersbergen, or "Death of a King" and "The Bee"!
Helena von E another gem from Finland???! Erica is DUTCH
Welcome to the rabbit hole of Symphonic Metal. Your life will never be the same.
I don't listen to Epica much but damn she is so freaking beautiful, what a voice
Bro, if you want to see Simone's windmill :D check out Kamelot - The Hunting (live Norway) :D btw. - great song too.
Yay for doing this. Now, you've reacted to Sabaton, who Floor's husband plays drums for, so now you have to react to Kamelot, who Simone's husband is the keyboardist for. I recommend Sacrimony as your first Kamelot reaction. I feel like I have to see that.

Subscribed now because you covered epica!🤘🤘
@@MrRockNRollLive sweet bro! Excited to see more!!!
Hahaha surprised my friend? you should seen that pretty lady doing the same on stage with a 5 months pregnancy in the Restrospect show \m/
The Wall of Epic! Very cool! I love when bands get the audience involved. Have you ever witnessed Slipknot's Spit It Out (Jump the Fuck Up)? Audience participation on another level! It's on my bucket list to experience, for sure! I'll probably die during it, but what a way to go!! 🤘
It should come as no surprise that Simone and Floor are besties. Epica characterizes their works as metal hymns. Let that sink in.
After Nightwish (Floor) and Epica (Simone) you should react to another big symphonic metal band Within Temptation (with singer Sharon den Adel) !
Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars (live at Sonic Pump Studios) this song will simply blow your mind
kreshBACON remastered on Jari’s channel.
Hey, just to help: what they did there at the beginning, splitting the crowd to clash back together is called a wall of death its a form of moshpit that you'll often see when there's a hefty part in a song coming 🙂 PS: don't know if it'll be your thing (it's only growls) but Gojira is a very awesome band that often warrants wall of deaths or circlepits, try their songs silvera or stranded
Simone is just the most adorable metal persona! If I met her and Floor together I'd probably melt into a puddle!
You should check out Sharon from Within Temptation, as well!
Epica literally too their name from an album by the band Kamelot, called, what else, but EPICA. Simone Simons is actually married to Kamelot's keyboard player Oliver Polotai. So they have a VERY long standing history wth this band.
Of course, if you are going to be checking out the female-fronted Dutch symphonic metal scene, you are also going to have to check out Delain (lead singer is Charlotte Wessels, and your buddy Marko from Nightwish is a frequent co-conspirator) and Within Temptation (lead singer is Sharon del Adel, and they often have guest vocalists from other genres).
Delain - Masters of Destiny, The Gathering (live at Masters of Rock 2017 with Marko)
Within Temptation - Shot in the Dark, Faster, the Whole World is Watching (the version with Piotr Rugucki), Paradise (with Tarja - first singer of Nightwish), And We Run (with Xzibit)
Love this band!!! You might want to give a listen to "Eluveitie - Call of the mountains", "Xandria - Ravenheart", "Witin Temptation - Sinead" and "Delain - Masters of Destiny" .. if you liked Epica, you will love those
I'd actually love his reaction to Eluveitie - Rebirth more than Call of the Mountains (but that's because I like their heavier sound more)
@@HaibaneRakka571 I like it all, but we have seen how he loses it when a pretty lady is singing :D
