I'm old. I've been an Epica listener since 2003. This album is literally new level of metal music (Not just symphonic metal). While trying to remain human in a country ruled by a dictatorship, I always connected with Epica. It makes me happy that people discover Epica.
Épica transmite cosas que en otras bandas como Nightwish, Therion, Xandria e incluso After Forever no he observado: la estética. Musicalmente tienen esa impronta acuñada por sus músicos, y el valor agregado de Simone. La de antes, la de ahora. Simone ya es y será lo que Freddy Mercury a Queen o Robert Plant a Led Zeppelin. Irremplazables, incomparables. Y todo eso se ve reflejado en la puesta de sus conciertos y sus maravillosos videos.
Since 2009 with Resign to Surrender as the first song I've listened to. Design your Universe is still my favorite album so far but Omega is quickly climbing
This the most elaborate and visually intriguing music video Epica has made to date. The effort is notcible. Great track, good album. Thank you for the music Epica, much love from the darkside but I do see the lightning.
Yeah the video really got me thinking. In my interpretation, the little girl is Simone's inner child, asleep and trying to find a part of herself in the dream world, that has been repressed. And then she finds it, represented by the creepy talisman thing. That the 'guardians' who watch over (or guide) her while she sleeps seem to have wanted her to find. Really spooky message. Love it. Just my 2 cents.

This is my favourite song on Omega after a couple of listens. Simone's voice technique in the verse is beautiful and unique! Well done Epica on not being afraid to think out of the box once again!!
Wow! They aren't that obscure. Are you a slave to corporate radio or something? One who listens to what they feed you. You definitely got a lot of catching up to do. Design your Universe and Quantum Enigma are two of their best albums. Catch them on tour this year with Sabaton. You won't regret it.
@@powskier i listen to classical music. ive only recently got into symphonic metal. i dont listen to radio. i dont only listen to what 'they' feed me, thanks. if you dont listen to metal, you probably wont have heard many metal songs.
They took their music to a whole new level with this album. I too am overwhelmed. Gonna be giving Omega a solid amount of listens to truly appreciate all the elements here. There's just so many layers to this album.
The imagery in this video is FUCKING PHENOMENAL!!!! I have only had a limited amount of exposure to this band. After listening to and watching them, I do believe I'll be headed down the rabbit hole. The growls opposite the absolutely BEAUTIFUL and SENSUOUS voice of the lady singer are so meant to be. One clearly can't exist without the other. Excellent song.
This is by far the most beautiful, intriguing, cinematic, well-filmed, video Epica has ever recorded. The imagery is mesmerizing and simply Gorgeous! WHAT A SONG ! WHAT AN ALBUM! ♥️
Yeah the MV is like a mini horror movie. It gave me chills. I interpreted Mark as being a ghoul in the child's dream. Mark's growling part has a perfect place in this.
And with the launch of the thunderous and phenomenal new music video, Epica takes the place of Nightwish as King of Symphonic Metal. With this, the thrones started to be occupied by the following bands according to their segments: Symphonic Metal - Epica Symphonic/Black Metal - Dimmu Borgir Symphonic/Progressive Metal - Kamelot Symphonic/Power Metal - Rhapsody Of Fire Symphonic/Death Metal - Fleshgod Apocalypse Symphonic/Gothic Metal - Sirenia Symphonic/Operatic Metal - Therion Symphonic/Viking Metal - Leaves' Eyes
@@wesNYC And are you saying this because you think their musical style is bad or because they have songs so heavy that just listening, they don't leave your head? Explain to me, young metalhead.
So glad to hear Mark growling again. I love Simone's singing, it's always so beautiful, but the mix of the two of them is always amazing. Pre-ordered this album, cannot wait to get it. Have loved every song released thus far
Amazing song, amazing video, amazing album ! Epica truly are one of the bands I love the most, and Omega is absolutely cementing that place in my heart ! Love you guys and girl !
Sinceramente é a melhor banda nessa pegada, 7 anos acompanhando e não me canso de repetir isso. O conjunto harmônico perfeito sempre e letras incríveis. Impossível não amar!!! 🎼🔊🎶😍
🎼❤🎸🎶🇧🇷guando o Epica lançou essa música eu lembro guando estava sendo postado as gravações ainda do ômega 🎼❤❤Eu pensei: Eles tem muita inspiração. Transpiram música,. que lindo
Simone is beyond amazing in this song 😍 Once again, Epica never deceives to deliver the heaviness inside the symphonic metal industry. I fell in love with them 12 years ago... I still am, don't even worry about that
yes lol. I got into metal two years ago but only recently I got into symphonic metal and when I hear a song like this I realize how important music is to me and how happy I am to have my music.
"The Skeleton Key"
Nos furiae nocturni terrores
We are the night
We haunt your mind
A thousand silent voices have been screaming in my mind this night again
I am trying to decipher the allusion so I'll finally ascend
Run around in circles no direction without any end to see
Imagine there's a world with all the answers, are they hiding within me?
Can we find the lightning that shines inside our mind?
Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide?
The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds
Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives
We own the night
You better hide
The whispers of a liar cursing me inside, my thoughts are all on fire
Have been staring in the mirror of perception leaving everything behind
Holding on to sanity before the darkness cuts me like a knife
I am suffocating in a world in which I have to die to feel alive
Can we find the lightning that lives inside our mind?
Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide?
The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds
Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives
Darkness bleeding in the night's light
Standing at my bedside
Bring upon the nightmares
Open up the secret window
Step into the unknown
Longing not to be scared
Lightning that shines inside in our minds
A dark sight we've all been trying to hide
We've all been dancing in the dark
We've all been drifting worlds apart
Nos furiae daemonia tua
We've all been dancing in the dark
Can we find the lightning that shines inside our mind?
Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide?
The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds
Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives
With peace of mind
Unlocking all the secrets in me
We harmonize
I carry my own skeleton key
Thx, you rock!
As paradise "arise" or "arrives"?. Where did you find the lyrics? :)
@Hezekiah Rodriguez fine!
I see Epica's name meaning in this lyric❤️❤️❤️❤️
A world with all the answer
This is so beautiful

-"Yes"

Y aún así hermosa!
And she's always gorgeous :-)
Want to bet her fav game as a child was “dress up” must have drove her mother mad. She seems to love dressing up.
Tha sin snog
Everything this band sings about is more true and relevant than most people can possibly imagine.
WE'VE ALL BEEN DANCING IN THE DARK 🎶 WOW. Fantastic song and FANTASTIC ALBUM!!
Simone is putting up some kickass powerful vocals in this one. Holey moley.
Simone Simons-SUPERWOMAN!!! BRAVO EPICA! 💥💥💥💥💥
2023 here we are, still in love with Epica ♥️
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the highest level of the symphonic metal.
already expecting react videos ! haha
Have you heard Septicflesh?
You're absolutly right!
@@the_gamers_nest they announced the brazilian tour and tickets start selling next Thursday!!!! I can’t wait!
@@lukkaturi haha they are awesome!!!
I actually LOVE this masterpiece! Simone is awesome, as always!
The parts where they're contrasting her soft sweet voice with that deep guitar... Simply amazing!
-their entire discography(?)
It's called boring, kid.
I like this too
Omg...Epica is Better Than Never..Vocals, Guitars,Drums, Symphony, Video Production...Everything!! Dale EPICA!!
When I was listening to this song I was like " This should have a video" and here I am, 45 minutes later, watching this music's video.
Now that you used one of your wishes, what are your other two? :P
This song is so magical
Blz, vlw
Same here. And Code of Life.
Agora faz o mesmo aí com a Code of Life pra ver se funciona. rs
Love this band and Miss Simone. They are one of the best in this genre.
love their new album
larga vida a esta banda
When I heard this I got goosebumps. Epica is literally my favorite band and their music means so much to me that it’s crazy.
They are perfection! I too have been listening to them since the beginning. I cannot imagine my life without their music. I love them so much.
Since 2009 with Resign to Surrender as the first song I've listened to. Design your Universe is still my favorite album so far but Omega is quickly climbing
Same. They are perhaps the only symphonic metal band that remained "metal" to this day.
I am right there with you 100%
My favourite band too!! Everything they do is so glorious, it is more then music!
Masterpiece. Very catchy melody. Simone's voice sounds beautiful as always.
You are right Slavina
Good but not a masterpiece.
Her voice is so beautiful
C vv0vv.

That’s what hooked me in this song. It’s unlike any other Epica offering yet
@@GarrettCampbell completely agree
GUYS WE’RE GETTING BUDGET FROM NUCLEAR BLAST FOR THIS ALBUM. THAT MV IS INSANE 🖤

This level of quality really adds a lot to the band's image overall. More music videos with this level of polish needs to be their standard onward.
@@franro2204 yeeeesss exactly
@@franro2204 The funny thing is the music video is made of *polish* people :D
album blows .... me away even more than their others. Album of the year - calling it early. Got it day they released it and it is AWESOME
Loving Omega...great video....has surpassed all expectations but then again it’s Epica...what an amazing band 🤘🔥🤘
Epica just get better and better. Omega has got to be their best album yet.
Amazing song, I loved the new album, and the aesthetic is catchy as hell
Que lindo vídeo é música também amo demais da conta essa banda. 😍😍😘🎸👏🏻👏🏻🌹🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Simone's so beatiful. Great Song.. Miss the concerts
Tarja is more beautiful though
I have to agree with Soraia. Simone's so beautiful. I'm not the biggest fan of Tarja. I maybe only like 3 songs by her.
@@665demondog why are you talking about Tarja in an Epica post ?
Anyways, both are beautiful in their own way.
Soraia Beaultiful is usted e voce Gata
@@665demondog Both are very beautiful. We could also include Sharon den Adel, Elize Ryd or Cristina Scabbia.

Jesus I love this video and song so much, and this album is perfection. Even the owl is feeling it haha.
Nos furiae nocturni terrores
We are the night
We haunt your mind
A thousand silent voices have been screaming in my mind this night again
I am trying to decipher the allusion so I'll finally ascend
Run around in circles no direction without any end to see
Imagine there's a world with all the answers, are they hiding within me?
Can we find the lightning that shines inside our mind?
Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide?
The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds
Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives
We own the night
You better hide
The whispers of a liar cursing me inside, my thoughts are all on fire
Have been staring in the mirror of perception leaving everything behind
Holding on to sanity before the darkness cuts me like a knife
I am suffocating in a world in which I have to die to feel alive
Can we find the lightning that shines inside our mind?
Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide?
The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds
Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives
Darkness bleeding in the night's light
Standing at my bedside
Bring upon the nightmares
Open up the secret window
Step into the unknown
Longing not to be scared
Lightning that shines inside in our mind
A dark sight we've all been trying to hide
We've all been dancing in the dark
We've all been drifting worlds apart
Nos furiae daemonia tua
(We've all been dancing in the dark)
Can we find the lightning that shines inside our mind?
Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide?
The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds
Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives
With peace of mind
Unlocking all the secrets in me
We harmonize
I carry my own skeleton key
Omg!!! Love it😍❤❤❤Congrats 👏👏👏🥳
Heavy and beautiful
That's EPICA
another gem
Esta canción es de principio a final una obra maestra
Yess New Vid from EPICA! 🍺
Simplesmente perfeito, não esperava menos de um grupo tão bom quanto esse.
Amazing! 🤘🏻❤️
Que clipe fantástico em um tempo que a musica conceitual deixou de ser valorizado . Epica é épico e fantástico.
This is my favourite song on Omega after a couple of listens. Simone's voice technique in the verse is beautiful and unique! Well done Epica on not being afraid to think out of the box once again!!
Like good wines, Epica and Simone get better every day. What musical and artistic quality they use. And Simone, every day is more beautiful
I LOVE the song and video :D
The little hint of a Dutch accent in the childrens choir is so cute and endearing 😍
This song it's so goooooood
First Epica song I’ve ever heard. Definitely doing a deep dive now.

Thank You for the Omega álbum, is amazing 🤘🏻🔥🖤 #Omeg
I'm here because some people comment about this band after they are watching Il Sogno from Isyana Sarasvati. This song made me goose bumps! Soooo epic
Same here 👍
Grupa 13 bringing those Behemoth vibes to Epica music videos, I like :D
Agora os vídeos oficiais estão todos no canal da própria banda. ❤
Amazing, inthe beginning sounds like a horror movie soundtrack, but then becomes an tight Epica song.
Yeah the MV is like a mini horror movie. It gave me chills. I interpreted Mark as being a ghoul in the child's dream. Mark's growling part has a perfect place in this.
Well, The Skeleton Key is the title of a horror movie.

I'm obsessed with the
"Lightning that shines inside our mind,
A dark side we've all been trying to hide" 🖤
A cool video for cool music, awesome images, sometimes cooler than those of black metal. There would also be cool plots for clips like Rammstеin)
Simone is beyond amazing in this song 😍
Once again, Epica never deceives to deliver the heaviness inside the symphonic metal industry.
I fell in love with them 12 years ago...
I still am, don't even worry about that
I started getting into metal a couple of years ago and I've just found Epica; is this what people mean when they feel connected to music? 🥹
yes lol. I got into metal two years ago but only recently I got into symphonic metal and when I hear a song like this I realize how important music is to me and how happy I am to have my music.
One of my favorite song from OMEGA. The video is brilliant, the aesthetic is grandiose.
We will waiting for u on December in Lima Peru!!!!
