Everyone talks about the Saxophone but no one talks about the man behind that shit! His name is Jørgen Munkeby and he created a monster band called Shining (Nor).
Go and look for them if you want some more of those sick saxophones!
Thanks a lot, Zlip! I'm glad you like the stuff I've made! Hope to see you at a show soon!
All the best,
Jørgen
WOW!!! That chorus! That sax!! It's EPICA but it's also so very different. Fucking LOVE this!!
hows it diffrent? fits well with essence of silence. storm the sorrow and other hard hitting deep meaning songs
This song has everything that I love in music! Every time I listen I like it more! It will take a trophy of the most listened song by me 🤩😆
I apologize for spamming the comments, but I think it's important to note that this particular song, fantastic as it is, is basically just a remix of Crestfallen by Soilwork. It's very much the same tempo and melody, nearly identical.
That said, I _love_ Epica. I just wanted to give Soilwork the respect they deserve because I haven't noticed anyone else mentioning it.
And a Europe's "Nothin' to Ya" has the exact same riff as Sabbath's "I" What's your point? Bands rip each other off all the time. BTW never got into Soilwork
@@thepriest98 That's interesting! It's totally the same song. I would also recommend Sun Is Going Down by Helloween and Lost by Beautiful Sin.
I'm a musician and I know music. My only point is that the original artist deserves the credit, too. There have been plenty of times that I "thought" I had written a new song, but it turned out I had accidentally "stolen" a melody. For the record, I don't think that's the case, here.
Granted, there are _clear_ demonstrations of theft. Coldplay absolutely _stole_ from Joe Satriani's: If I could Fly when they made Viva La Vida.
All I'm saying is that there's a distinction between theft and inspiration. I don't consider this theft, but Coldplay, I think, f**ked up.
That sax truly elevates this song
This song is just so good, Simone's voice is always amazing and Jorgen's voice just works so well with both hers and the song. I could listen to that chorus on repeat for hours!
EPICA played saxophone in my dream once and now it became reality. Thank you EPICA!!!! Hopefully more songs like this....
@Hezekiah Montiel Often I fnd myself on EPICA shows while dreaming and it's always ecstatic. Saxophone was something I always secretly wanted to hear in their music. The closest thing they've done so far was 'Beyond the Matrix' with Metropole orkest where jazz and metal clash. Either way I'm grateful for what I hear today....
@Hezekiah Montiel I have no doubt about the time
Not sure if there was a sax, but that Aeyreon track *Daniel's Decent Into Transitus Melody* was pretty jazzy. (also had Simone & Tommy)

There isn’t enough actual metal instruments in the metal genre.
I'm actually surprised they haven't incorporated a sax before lol,
I played in middle school band, good times
Omg! I'm there in the 3:32 with the argentinian flag 🇦🇷 so happy to be part of that night! The new song was a blast, love it the blend 🤘
That's awesome!
I see u!thanks for showing our beautiful sun 🌞 rising up(no much nationalist or flags pf anytipe but living fare away from Argentina made me love to see that sunny and smiling moment on this amazing video)Gracias!! 🇦🇷
@@caroldelosangeles3621 gracias por el lindo comentario 😊. Estoy convencido que allí en Tilburg todxs disfrutamos el show sintiendonos unidxs mas alla de nacionalidades pero tambien disfrutamos de nuestras banderas porque de alguna forma nos muestra que independientemente del rincón del mundo del que vengamos nos apasiona la misma música al punto de recorrer todos esos kilometros para una gran reunión. Nunca mas cierto ese slogan "La música nos une" 🤘
HERMANO QUE ORGULLO MI PAIS MI PAIS
@@aldana3529 aguante Epica 🤘😊
Blown away by this different sound from Epica.
This video makes me really want to see them live.
Epica is definitely the best symphonic metal band - i cant get this song out of my head
best band*
My top band of all time!
After they singing this song in concert I can't get out of my head.
EPICA is beautiful Metal
Epica now is one of the most productive bands :) The new song sounds "epican" and fresh at the same time. Love the saxophone parts
I somehow missed this release, just ordered the EP waiting for it by listening to it on the RUclips. Another great release so far from Epica!
This song made me wish I could have gone to the upcoming Epica concert with you but I will never see you again and you won't probably remember me soon despite it all. This song would be so awesome to experience live. I heard you say it's over now though :( Thanks for introducing me to Epica. I will never forget you, till the end.
Epica is Love.
First time they have ever used a saxophone, like it. ♥
Especially the mix with Epica's usual sound (which have always sounded great) and the more heavier and progressive elements that even contains even some jazz aspects in the end.
It proves that Epica have always managed to keep a balance between the usual symphonic sound and new elements which they're not afraid to try.
❤❤
This looks like a very exciting project, kinda of what Tobi has been doing with Avantasia all these years. Epica never ceases to amazed me, mad respect for these guys and for all their hard work
WHAT A CHORUS ( The one that you turn the volume up and sing along!)
This song plays a movie in my head, it is truly epic! One of the only songs that can bring tears to my eyes every time I hear it!
What kind of movie?
She must be a vampire, she didn't aged a bit. Beautiful as always:) Queen of metal
Greetings from Slovenia
I mean she's definitely aged but she's most certainly gorgeous. That's what happens when you live your life well
@@A_Black_Sheep94 ...and when you have cosmetic procedures
This should not work but it actually does and it is a masterpiece
AGREED
I feel the same. I would never have associated sax with metal but they did it and it works so well. Absolutely brilliant!
I that that is what everyone said when "Oceanborn" came out in 1998.
Now it's a whole genre.
Check out
Rivers of Nihil - Where Owls Know My Name
White Ward - Leviathan
Both bands feature the sax
What some people think shouldn't work is just being close minded. Any instrument can work with any genre.
Damn. That sax had me dead! Great song 10/10
Crazy how I missed this release, wish I had seen it earlier. Im just hooked. Love it ❤❤
Got introduced to Epica when they opened for Sabaton and damn one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to!!
Every thing dies, but we can sing this on the way.
you over there with the Greek flag, you are the real MVP!!!
Yep still the best
Wow such a perfect duet!, those voices were meant to be singing together ;what an awesome song !
Please don't ever stop releasing new music we beg you 😍
I discovered this song very recently and it is amazing! It is in my TOP3 of the best EPICA music!
Hell, it's about time! Металлисты используют саксофон. Groovy.
Краснокнижный зверь. Нужно больше соло на саксофонах в progressive metal.
I love how they keep evolving while keeping that Epica essence we love so much ❤
I *love* Epica, but this song is just version of _Crestfallen_ by _Soilwork._ Check it out! It's nearly the same, beat for beat. I can sing Soilwork over this song.
@@TheLegendOfRandy while parts are the melody are super similar, they deviate too much after the first quarter to say it's basically the same
@@Model_BT-7274 The main melody is nearly identical, minus a slightly different tempo. Normally I would look past that, but change the tempo and I can sing Crestfallen over this entire song, even the chorus.
A better example would be Sun is Going Down by Helloween and Lost by Beautiful Sin. Check them out!
That said, I'm not complaining in either circumstance, I just want everyone to get their due recognition. All of these songs are awesome. I've been a _huge_ Epica fan since 2004.
Sometimes when things is falling apart, they may actually be falling into place...so don't bother much...for nature knows better than you ❤️
Wtf are you talking about?

back here because this song is still fire
Vamos EPICA!!! 🇧🇷
By far my favorite thing about Metal is how people can take literally any instrument or style they want and just toss it in, all for fun, obviously having a blast, and it'll sound really cool.
Amo esta canción, después de la pandemia, espere tanto por verlos en Ecuador y no me decepcionaron, cada que sacan un nuevo video se vuelve mi favorito, simplemente son una banda genial. Cada dia se los escucha mejor
Just when you think it can't get any better than this the sax part hits.
Please, I don't want to wake up and end this beautiful dream that is listen Epica. Since 2002 is just one band in my speakers, my headphones and my heart! Epica will live for ever!
So many familiar faces in the crowd, that's the ultimate present Epica could've given us after queueing for over 20h to get the front row. Damn, that was the best night of my life!
Amazing song, I'm so lucky to have experienced it live - can't wait for the rest of the EP to be released
Lucky bastard.
@Hezekiah Montiel I was, when the song started I couldn't believe that we were really listening to a new song first hand hahah what a night
Unless I'm wrong, she was totally drawn to singing and dancing with him, and Jorgen himself.
so good
I didn’t enjoy this at Tilburg but I’m notoriously slow to get into new songs. I’ve heard this a few times now and it rocks. Love it. Alchemy is pre-ordered. Roll on November
Almost all of the top symphonic metal bands would never be able to make something like that
Very true. I don't even think nightwish could do something this epic.
@@lizzyq7807 precisely. I didn't want to mention names lol
@@ferrenberg
😆
@@lizzyq7807 Yes, Nightwish have a very different style than Epica. Isn't it just amazing that we can enjoy such a variety of music?
@@DeepeningTheListening
Yes it is!❤🤘
This band is insane!I love this band!❤️
Taro Kono is a man who has been on many battlefields. Fumio Kishida is also honored as a battlefield sniper.
Speechless......except for the saying I'm speechless part LOL I always expect EPIC from EPICA
The song is beautiful, Epica never disappoints. Shotout to the videomakers, they've all made a magnificent job: the video is hypnotizing, very well made and perfectly syncronized with the melody and in certain parts with the lyrics 🤘🏻
In Japan, there was a TV program where Japanese orphans left behind in China met their long-lost parents. Why don't meet them, Mi-san? Even after resuscitation, they are still alive. Their parents are still alive. Reunion is the civil law.
Everything dies
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who will be the one to destroy us all
Mirror, mirror, can't you see?
It's written in the stars that it's you and me
They're gonna burn this world down to the ground
Guns are going off, can't hear a sound
Toxic in the air, I can hear you pray
Will you stay with me? Can you hear what I say?
You said, "Let's live forever now"
But that was yesterday
I guess it's time to say goodbye
The world goes to sleep, the final lullaby
It is time
Don't you cry
Say your prayers
Wave goodbye
As the darkness comes down
The world ends and everything dies
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Do you think we can survive this all?
Mirror, mirror, can you hear?
They're coming for us, it is what we feared
They're gonna tear this night up at the seams
Lies are all around, nothing's what it seems
Tear gas in the sky, I can't breathe
Will I see you again? Will you remember me?
You said, "Let's live forever now"
But that was yesterday
Now blood flows and fills the sky
The stars begin to fade
I hear you say, "It's over now"
There's no time to cry
I guess it's time to say goodbye
The world goes to sleep, the final lullaby
It is time
Don't you cry
Say your prayers
Wave goodbye
As the darkness comes down
The world ends and everything dies
You and I will find a way out here tonight
Ooh
(You said let's live forever now)
So here we are, hand in hand
(Everything dies)
Watching the world end
(It's now, everything dies)
(I guess it's time to say goodbye)
The rain is pounding down on us, from a broken sky
(Everything dies)
But we will live somehow
(It's now)
I hear you say, "It's over now"
But there's no time to cry
I guess it's time to say goodbye
The world goes to sleep, the final lullaby
Bye
It is time, have no fear
It's the end, it is here
Say your prayers
Wave goodbye - as it ends
And everything dies
That 🎷 SAX just put the A on EPIC in this video! Incredible performance 🤘🏼
Hands up my favorite song after 1000 times listening to it!
Thank you!
@@simonesimonsofficial Thank you!
See you in January in Amsterdam! 🤩🤩🤩
Great!! This is amazing!
Saburo Ishikura's wife is Hiromi Kumazaki. His eldest son is Nikau. His eldest daughter is Anna Nose.
I'll need to listen a few times to properly process the song, but it's highly encouraging to see the band experimenting; the Alchemy Project looks intriguing.
Agreed! It's hard for a band to go 20 years without stagnating *COUGHnightwishCOUGH*
This song and watching the video just gives me so much energy, it feels like I'm right back into the pit
All-time top 20 Epicas song! A reminder of how sudden an end can come, never lose a xhance in life !
Wowwwww
Mother of God!! What a video with all the people we were all the night waiting in 013!!
Amazing vídeo!!
Just saw them last night. I have to say my views of this band have changed for the better. The sheer talent and chemistry blew me away. Epica is starting to win me over just a bit. Great stuff!
Freezer resuscitation. 270 years old. Niwa-san is 180 years old. Niwa-san's younger brother is Shintaro.
México los espera con amor, con este album .😊
This video is FREAKING INSANE, congrats guys.
If there was a theme song for surviving the Apocalypse this folks is it. So epic and so much power in this song. Its like an energy source to listen to and i can't get enough so been playing this like daily the last week.
I imagine it as the villain of the story succeeding in ending the world, waiting for the heroes to come and vanquish them. They have done what needs to be done, so all they can do now is monologue before the mirror, looking back at what they have done as they wait for the end to come.
@@LuiKang043 I remember reading a comment from another Epica song saying it would make for a great "metal Disney princess movie," and the more I think about it, and reading your comment... man, that needs to be real.
Kishida doesn't know that change who talking to, it becomes criminal law.
Epica's synthesizer is the deputy head priest of a Buddhist temple in Moldova. His home in Japan is a temple. No heir. Synthesizer's second son is the heir. Inabaji Temple.
VIVA EPICAAAA!!!! 🇸🇻
You have been here for me Epica and I will always be with you..🖤
epica is perfect is ANY style
EXCELENTE
Great song and great footage of the 20th anniversary show. Was sooooo lucky to be there. 😁❤️ Great evening. Watched also the livestream two times. Hope that it will be released on Blu-ray and dvd. Thank you for this video.
Saw them last night in Seattle, not only did they do such an amazing show, but I have a very deep appreciation for them and their music. Thank you Epica
Hey, can you tell me about it in more detail? I'm seeing them in Chicago on October 15th.They are opening for Sabaton. That sucks because I'm not a big fan of sabotan and I wish epica was headlining. Just LOVE THEM!😍❤🤘
es como escuchar canciones de RWBY . AMOOOOOOO!!! * O *
Maki Sakai has given her eldest daughter a family register. However, her current residence is in Korea. Her family register has been changed to Korean primary nationality. The reason is that her original place of birth is Tibet. So her primary nationality is Tibet City, and her Korean nationality is Han City.
I'm sorry to have just discovered this group, but we have energetic days ahead.
Greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷
Hey, I'm JEALOUS you just discovered them! You get to enjoy so much for the first time. Like the whole Retrospect concert. 🙂
Hope they will play this amazing song during their tour in Brazil this year!
Genial , nunca me decepcionan

Tengo todos sus discos , e visto la evolución qué han tenido musicalmente, excelente disco. ❤❤❤
thats a collaboration I did not see coming...
What I really love about Epica is the fact that they are continuously giving us new music/new stuff. Take my moneeeey! 🤩🤩
Amazing 🤘
Her second daughter is Aimi Higa. Her second son is Masao Sen.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever listened too. It's no wonder why Epica is 1). My favourite symphonic metal bands and 2). A true metal delight
Listen to Crestfallen by Soilwork! It's basically the same song, beat for beat, only I prefer Crestallen. This song is great, too, and Epica is legendary, but there's some heavy influence here, I think.
This is just incredible ❤ your music as magic! Your my favorite band
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍 OH MY GOD!!!!!!
コンタクトは、透き通る
So now we have an Epica Sax Guy.
Haha! Nice one!
This one will break our necks! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
3:08 😍😍😍
Saxo amazing
I'll never be this cool, no matter how hard I try. :)
And Epica's keeps proving why it's the best symphonic metal band ❤️❤️ WHAT A SONG, I'M SO ADDICTED
