One of their heavier songs, this is Lulu's 3rd reaction to this band, Kathy missed one. The wall of death moshpit usually starts this song. Title track to the 2005 2nd album, it is often used as the show closer. This performance was in Amsterdam last year. Kathy , the the clean and harsh vocal combination you liked is used a lot in EPICA songs, it is sometimes referred to as Beauty and the Beast.
Kathy you're my favourite reactor, your face always tells us exactly what you're feeling about the music! I hope you'll react to Epica's Kingdom Of Heaven Part 3(Omega Alive) sometime, I think you'll all really enjoy it.
Simone Simons has a beautiful voice. I usually don't like "cookie monster" vocals but I don't mind it with Epica. Other songs to check out are Martyr of the Free World, Storm the Sorrow, The Obsessive Devotion and Sancta Terra, where Simone sings a duet with Floor Jansen.
@@Divide_et_lmpera No I disagree. The Zenith version Simone and the band sound even better. Simone in Paris was like a bird singing and also her dress .... :)
@@hansolo2121The Zenith Version is the Paris Version 😉 This here is the AFAS show in Amsterdam. But I also like the Zenith show better than this version here, because I like the light show there better than with the LED screen here.
@@jaynecobb8356 I agree and I know Zenith is in Paris. I think you misread my comment: "The Zenith version is better. (There) In Paris Simone was like a bird singing. And I loved her dress too" :)
Not everyone likes harsh vocals but if you liked this one, then you're "safe" with all other Epica songs as they have less growling and more singing by Simone. I second the suggestion for Unleashed (Live at the AFAS Live) and Chasing the Dragon (Retrospect Live), but for this one you should find a video uploaded by Jubran as it has subtitles in it, so you can read the lyrics while watching the performance.
Kathy the faces you made during this reaction are priceless. Epica is that good I agree. Me and my mom Cathy made the same faces too lol. Wintersun Alex 😁
Aaaaaah brilliant, Such a great Dutch band. (ps. one of their more 'gentle' ones is Cry for the Moon (they were very, very young then) Tough lyrics though EPICA - Cry For The Moon (HQ • HD • 4K) Anyways, cheers from the Low Countries and keep up the great work ladies !
That's actually one of my least favorite Epica songs any more, probably because 90% of the time it's requested is only because Floor is in it. Epica has so many better songs that show what THEY can do so well, vs that song that is only wanted because of Floor. Just my 2¢.
@@lw3918 It's a good duo, and I was a Nightwish fan before Epica (obviously since they have been around longer), but I personally think Epica has evolved faster and further than Nightwish has. Every time Sancta Terra get requested Floor is mentioned. It's not requested as a great song, it's requested with her name every time. That's why it's turned kinda meh for me.
Go back in time to their 10th anniversary Retrospect show from 2013. It is a 3 hour show with full orchestra and choir and it is fantastic. I suggest Unleashed and Chasing the Dragon as a good place to start
More Epica? Well, if it isn't one of the 3 you folks have already heard, then I might suggest The Skeleton Key. And because of Lulu's love for hair and costuming, I would suggest the Official Music Video (not a concert version) (the concert versions are fine. excellent even. BUT the music video is where the bucks go into the hair and sequins ; )
The epica consign to oblivion live at the zenith in Paris video is the better version of this song live. I don't know if the subscriber chose this version but most watch the live at the zenith in Paris Kathy. Just letting you know. Wintersun Alex ❤️
I have seen them live 6 times or something. Every time I'm like ok maybe I've heard it all with this band, always nice music but do I really need a new album. But their latest releases are just great, so yes of course I bought them.
Well y’all got about 20 more EPICA songs to hear Kingdom of heaven songs are 3 13 minute songs very EPIC ..Unleashed.. Storm the sorrows… Resign to surrender…The second Stone …Tides of time … Canvas of life on and on so many
"We must return to the laws of the nature Free ourselves from madness" ... or we'll consign ourselves to oblivion. I'll second @williambevins suggestion of Sancta Terra and I'll add another duet with Floor, the Stabat Mater Dolorosa. Great reaction!
There's two different Epica videos on the channel. I don't think Kathy was there for the first one (Once Upon a Nightmare) and then you were all there for "Kingdom of Heaven Part III".
would you have request the same version than or the Live at the Zenith version(wich i prefer).? Maybe you don´t care bout wich version at all, what is of course understandable......greetings from Germany & UP THE IRONS..
Haven't they done it yet? Then yeah, while on a Dutch roll they HAVE to react to Focus - Hocus pocus, live in that tv show 1973 I think....legendary! 🤣
This one is better and official video ! ruclips.net/video/dkqyyUTCMUQ/видео.html Live from Paris ! EPICA - Consign To Oblivion - Live at the Zenith (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
It is a shame you racted to this version and not the legendary Live at Zenith Paris. This one at AFAS you reacted to is okay but as far as this performance goes Simone and the band never got to even remotely the magic they did in Paris.

Thanks for your reaction.
Epica is my favorite band. 🤘
Epica-Chasing the dragon for next reaction.
Live at the Retrospect. But they should definitely find a subtitled video.
Kathy you're my favourite reactor, your face always tells us exactly what you're feeling about the music! I hope you'll react to Epica's Kingdom Of Heaven Part 3(Omega Alive) sometime, I think you'll all really enjoy it.
I concur.

Wrong version. Live in Paris at the Zenith.
I really like both versions.
There's no "wrong version" for this song. Simone sounds better in this one.
@@Divide_et_lmpera No I disagree. The Zenith version Simone and the band sound even better. Simone in Paris was like a bird singing and also her dress .... :)

Simone Simons has a really clean singing voice when it comes to her mezzo soprano style of singing it’s like listening to crystal clear water.
Simone is a soprano. And it's not a style but a vocal range.
@@Divide_et_lmpera mezzo.
@@robertpetre9378 Full she was never a mezzo.
Abyss of Time, another great Epica I would recommend listening to for this channel.
Kathy?? Your eyes said it all and Lulu was so chill she's thinking ( alot of long hair is going to get tangled😮) Great reaction!🌹🌹
Aaaaaah brilliant, Such a great Dutch band.
(ps. one of their more 'gentle' ones is Cry for the Moon (they were very, very young then) Tough lyrics though
EPICA - Cry For The Moon (HQ • HD • 4K)
Anyways, cheers from the Low Countries and keep up the great work ladies !
And I’ve seen EPICA 5 times WOW AN AMAZING BAND
Hi ladies, another song from the same show, the singing is all Simone in this one, and she is amazing 🙃
EPICA - Unleashed (Live At The AFAS Live)
I second this. That should be their next reaction.
Epica "Sancta Terra" trust me. Both Simone and Floor.
That's actually one of my least favorite Epica songs any more, probably because 90% of the time it's requested is only because Floor is in it. Epica has so many better songs that show what THEY can do so well, vs that song that is only wanted because of Floor. Just my 2¢.
@@Patryn71 I love Epica also. I just think it's a wonderful duo.

@@Patryn71 That's fine. I feel the same way about movie reactors. They all do the same movies.
@@Patryn71totally agree 👍
Go back in time to their 10th anniversary Retrospect show from 2013. It is a 3 hour show with full orchestra and choir and it is fantastic.
I suggest Unleashed and Chasing the Dragon as a good place to start
Also, I love that the demon voice doesn't even seem to phase you ladies anymore. You seem more surprised when it is absent. ha ha.
More Epica?
Well, if it isn't one of the 3 you folks have already heard, then I might suggest The Skeleton Key.
And because of Lulu's love for hair and costuming, I would suggest the Official Music Video (not a concert version)
(the concert versions are fine. excellent even. BUT the music video is where the bucks go into the hair and sequins ; )
I had seen these guys in tiny Montpellier club in November 2008. Check their 'Chasing the Dragon" dedicated to one of Johnny Depp movies.
The epica consign to oblivion live at the zenith in Paris video is the better version of this song live. I don't know if the subscriber chose this version but most watch the live at the zenith in Paris Kathy. Just letting you know. Wintersun Alex ❤️
Simone sounds better here though.
You have to try "the essence of silence"
I have seen them live 6 times or something. Every time I'm like ok maybe I've heard it all with this band, always nice music but do I really need a new album. But their latest releases are just great, so yes of course I bought them.

Hopefully if watch that version doona will be with you that time. Wintersun Alex 😁
"We must return to the laws of the nature

... or we'll consign ourselves to oblivion. I'll second @williambevins suggestion of Sancta Terra and I'll add another duet with Floor, the Stabat Mater Dolorosa. Great reaction!
Poor Lulu - those growls were scary! Even scared me a bit - I'm 67.
There's two different Epica videos on the channel. I don't think Kathy was there for the first one (Once Upon a Nightmare) and then you were all there for "Kingdom of Heaven Part III".
Hi there great reaction
Please check out Simone Simons real life mermaid cover of Part of your world
Greetings from Sweden
🤘
sabaton epica nightwish my top 3 bands
I would just clarify for those who may not know, that Sabaton has nothing in common with the other two bands mentioned.
@@Divide_et_lmpera really alot you dont know
@@MegaDog555 I'm talking about music, not personal relationships between members.
@@Divide_et_lmpera nice try wrong
Simone is floors liddel Sister in Metall
I'm kind of sad that I didn't request this one.
would you have request the same version than or the Live at the Zenith version(wich i prefer).? Maybe you don´t care bout wich version at all, what is of course understandable......greetings from Germany & UP THE IRONS..
You need to react to Hocus Pocus by the epica rock group Focus!! 😅
Haven't they done it yet?
Then yeah, while on a Dutch roll they HAVE to react to Focus - Hocus pocus, live in that tv show 1973 I think....legendary! 🤣
This one is better and official video ! ruclips.net/video/dkqyyUTCMUQ/видео.html
Live from Paris ! EPICA - Consign To Oblivion - Live at the Zenith (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
The 'AFAS version' is also an official live video. Both versions are very good imo.
React Andre Matos, Fairy tale
It is a shame you racted to this version and not the legendary Live at Zenith Paris. This one at AFAS you reacted to is okay but as far as this performance goes Simone and the band never got to even remotely the magic they did in Paris.
But just I'm just thinking of the faces you'll make when you react to the wintersun suggestions I've given you.🫶😁❄️
