    Thanks for finding this reaction and posting. One of their heavier songs, title track to the 2nd album in 2005, the full title is "Consign to Oblivion( A New Age Dawns , Part III). 6 parts, 3 on this album, and 4-6 on the 4th album, Design Your Universe. Yes , this was the closer here in 2017, often used as such, and still played today.
    That little keyboard part that caught your ear is a piece of the French national anthem, not a normal part of the song, just played for this Parisian crowd.
    Coen's keyboard is indeed mobile, either on track or on wheels. The top also spins. They modified it with laptop batteries and wireless to facilitate those movements.
    Yes Simone Simons . you pronounced it using the English version. In Dutch it is pronounced more like See- mon-eh See-mons, but she will answer to either.
    A Simone vocal heavy song, go for a ballad, try "Rivers" feat Apocalyptica, live in Amsterdam 2023 at AFAS Live.
    For another heavier song, check out the Design Your Universe album title track, live at Retrospect 10th anniversary concert in 2013, with full orchestra and choir on stage.

    - Kingdom of Heaven part 3 (Omega Alive)
    - Once Upon a Nightmare (Omega Alive)
    - Code of Life (live at AFAS)
    - Design Your Universe (Retrospect)
    - Unleashed (Retrospect)
    - Chasing the Dragon (Retrospect)
    Keep them coming please! You want regret it.

    The keyboard is fixed to a turntable so he can spin it 360 but it is then fixed to a track that runs behind the drums so he can go from one side of the stage to the other. He had to get the bands techs to come up with a power solution based on a laptop battery as there were no wireless keyboards on the market.

      Ayreon is reaction friendly too. I love all of his prog metal musicals or whatever you call it. Genres are only trying to describe the layout of a work before hearing it. Creativity is endless and categories are not meant to be rules. They should be an afterthought when the work is done. Music can go anywhere. If you are an artist. Don't label your music in genres. That is what the press do.

    His keyboard won't fall of the stage. It is wireless and attached to a rail that runs all the way along the back of the stage (in this setup, it tends to vary per venue) This rail system doesn't allow it to come off the stage as it is slotted in the raised stage elementens. He can ride it like a scateboard, that's how sturdy it is.

    this song is almost 20 years old and almost all these years they play it at the end of each of their concerts 😁 it's different from "storm the sorrow" right?)) in fact they have both very heavy and complex songs and simple hits.

    Biggest spotlight on Simone would probably be the ballad ‘Rivers’ with best version being the Live from AFAS live ft Apocalyptica. For full range of techniques, fully integrated into the EPICA sound including marks vocals too, Coen displaying his full range of keys, and simply the most epic performance (despite the absence of a crowd because of covid), it has to be ‘Kingdom of heaven part 3’ from the Omega Alive concert. Enjoying your enjoyment of this band, hope that you will check these out.

    Thanks for following up with this one. They use this as their closing song at all their concerts. Simone usually is in the forefront of all their songs, but this one she is used sparingly.
    As others have suggested, Kingdom of Heaven, Part 3 is their Magnum Opus song. Watch the version from their Omega Alive virtual concert. It's about 13 minutes long and by the end, you still want more. The concert was staged during the pandemic and was done over a period of 5 sessions, all live.
    It is an "epic" masterpiece.

    @Tuclix 2 месяца назад +1

    Storm the Sorrow is, I would say, more ,,general public friendly'', but way less exciting for actual fans. It's much more of a radio song with the typical verse-chorus pattern and shorter length.
    What Epica fans love, and want to see reactions of, are:
    1) LIVE videos - Epica members' skill in what they do is very, very high and we want to see people's reactions when they see what's possible live, without any post production,
    2) More complex songs - Songs that are not going to be too well received by the general public (pop, hip hop, etc. listeners), but are beloved by the metal community,
    So far, I've liked your reactions and I look forward to more. :-)
    My recommendations:
    - Tides of Time - My favourite song of all time. A ballad, but sadly, no true live video is out
    - Introspect + Monopoly of Truth (Live at Retrospect) - Two songs from their 10th anniversary concert, with orchestra and choir.
    - Once upon a Nightmare (Omega Alive) - another ballad with an amazing intro
    If you want to get views, you're safe to go with the usual most reacted songs:
    - Sancta Terra (ft. Floor Jansen)
    - Skeleton Key (Omega Alive)
    - Abyss of Time (Omega Alive or music video)
    - Kingdom of Heaven - parts 1 and 3 (both Omega Alive)
    The thing is, at least for me, I've seen dozens of these, because everyone does them. And even though I love the songs, the reactions get a bit stale. I'd love to see some new songs being reacted to, but they won't bring a wide audience.
    My recommendations:
    - Tides of Time - My favourite song of all time. A ballad, but sadly, no true live video is out
    - Introspect + Monopoly of Truth (Live at Retrospect) - Two songs from their 10th anniversary concert, with orchestra and choir.
    - Once upon a Nightmare (Omega Alive) - another ballad with an amazing intro
    - Burn to a Cinder - Great fast paced song, with an intensely ,,LotR grey harbours'' feeling outro
