Awesome to see the Dutchies in the audience jump up and applause as soon as they hear the first notes of Saint-Saëns’ Dance Macabre (a.d. 1875). EVERYBODY in the Netherlands knows this piece!
Epica is simply brilliant. I recommend listening to one of the band's greatest classics: Kingdom of Heaven part 3 from Omega Alive. From classical to melodic death metal passages in minutes 🔥
The musical piece Epica did was an already existing musical piece called Danse Macabre. Epica was asked by the second most visited themepark in Europe called Efteling to reimagine the musical piece Danse Macabre for the opening of their new dark ride also called Danse Macabre. They just added the Ghost In Me title.
You should also check out the music video. Epica were commission by Dutch theme park, Efteling, to do a music video to promote their new attraction called Danse Macabre, which they opened on Halloween. They used the original music from Danse Macabre, a classical piece from 1875, Simone wrote the lyrics to fit the new attraction. Epica can get very heavy with death metal and black metal passages but a common trait is that Isaac Delahaye’s solos are always melodic, often offering light relief from the darker passages. Check out their new song Arcana, from the same live show, awesome performance.
Good to see you getting back into EPICA! As others have pointed out, this is really an adaptation of a classical piece by Camille Saint-Saëns. Maybe adding a side quest into classical music could be interesting for you and your channel? You already like prog and metal, so it's not a stretch to delve into other types of complex art music.
thanks for the reaction 👍

And great You're obviously a Heep fan. My crash was in 1973 when I was twelve yeas young.
Maybe you also like to hear the original of this song, premiered in 1875 and written as a symphonic poem by Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921)

I have been thinking about incorporating classical, jazz and blues in the future.
