This was from their Omega Alive, live stream event from 2021. Although pre-recorded, each song was a single take recording. In fact, in an interview, Simone explained that Rivers and Once Upon a Nightmare were recorded back to back as one take. Rivers is another ballad sung ‘a capella’ with a choir. The other interesting thing about this recording, Simone and the band were static as the cameraman moved around them. He had to have an assistant trailing him to ensure he didn’t step into the fire. Lead guitarist does indeed play a 7 string Les Paul.
Really cool song, love the slow build. Yes, this performance was 2 years ago, the Omega Alive virtual show. The song is from the 2016 album, The Holographic Principle. Lyrics by Simone, inspired by a dark German story about the Alder King, who steals children's souls. Music by keyboardist Coen Janssen. The album also includes one of their heaviest songs, Universal Death Squad. The lyric video is probably the best option to hear that one. Wolf, don't eat all the candy before Tuesday. 😁. Don't want to end up like Bonesy, with his hand ripped off. 🤣🤣.
This is EPICA….Heaven. I am thankful to so many other symphonic metal bands like Visions Of Atlantis, Delain, Within Temptation, Nightwish Etc, that led me up thru gateway to Epica!!
That was another great one tonight. You keep the smile on. Shedded wheat for Halloween and coal for Christmas. Thank you. Take care. Have a nice Sunday. 🙏🙏🙏

Amazing intro of this song, then the etherical voice from Simone Simons, absolute masterpiece.
