This is worthy of study in music schools. Epica….what else can one say? This was from their unbelievably awesome pandemic show…the whole darn show is just over the top. If you want to hear Simone in all her glory and vocal perfection in a soul moving collab with Apocalyptica in their just ended European tour, I HIGHLY suggest Rise Again live from London. It is an Apocalyptica song with Simone on vocals. My fave band in the world is Epica for so many reasons. They only get better over time and after 16 yrs following them still blow me away. Great reaction Jynger, enjoy your Epica journey, your “bar” for symphonic HEAVY metal will only be raised if u do! 🤘🤘👊
I concur
I am addicted to this song and I never get enough of Epica! They are simply the best symphonic metal band out there in my opinion! Love how diverse their discography is!
Epica - The Holographic Principle - A Profound Understanding of Reality and underrated gem.
Greatest band on the planet right now!
Well....EPICA is EPIC !!!!!
There are 3 Kingdom of Heaven songs so far, loosely coupled by their common title. They were published on different albums and each carry an additional title.
The first one is called “Kingdom of Heaven - (A New Age Dawns V)” was released in 2009 on the album “Design your Universe”. Mark had the idea for this song for many years but thought he would not be able to do it with Epica. Isaac joining the band in 2009 gave it a new impulse and so the song finally came to live. During the recording of the album, Mark’s grandmother died and he dedicated the song to her, and especially one section of the song. Mark’s grandmother had been very important to Epica in their early years because she allowed them to practice in her basement. For that reason, Coen and Simone also wrote the ballad “Tides of Time” in remembrance of her.
The first part of Kingdom of Heaven is divided in 5 parts named
I. Hold In Derision
II. Children Of The Light
III. Bardo Thödol
IV. Paragons Of Perfection
V. The Harsh Return
There is a very well-done official lyric video of this song. It was published as part of the release of (remastered) 10th anniversary edition of the “Design your Universe” album in 2019.
Unfortunately, there is no public HQ live version. The best version IMHO is the one from Omega Alive, but it has not been publicly posted and is only on the DVD. A popular version is a fan made version based on footage from a concert in Mexico in 2014 combined with the sound from the album version.
There is a nice TH-cam video from 2010 called “In the Studio with Epica - Mark Jansen explains Kingdom of Heaven” where Mark gives plenty of background information on the song.
The second one is called “The Quantum Enigma - Kingdom of Heaven part 2”. It is the title song of the album “The Quantum Enigma” released in 2014. While being as long as the other 2, it is quite different in that it is not a multi part song. Instead, it relies more heavily on orchestra and choir. It seems that this song has only been performed live once.
The third song, the one you have reacted to is officially called “The Antediluvian Universe (Kingdom of Heaven - Part III)”. It is similar in structure as part 1 and has 6 parts:
I. Ātman
II. Sri Yantra
III. Halls of Amenti
IV. Duality
V. The Chikhai Bardo - Navigating the Afterlife Realms
VI. The Flower of Life - The Cosmic Spiral
KOH part 3 is generally played on their current concerts where they have a big enough time slot (like 90 minutes). On shorter concerts like festivals, they generally don’t play it because of lack of time.
NWSU/Epican/Ayreonaut/FloorFan 🤘😎🤘.
Hi JyngerSlapz, this is a cool song from EPICA, a sci-fi theme, about the machines taking over the world! and an awesome video too:
EPICA - Universal Death Squad (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO)
A few that people never seem to recommend but are some of my favorites.
Epica - Internal Warfare
Epica - Serenade of Self-Destruction
Epica - Fools of Damnation
Yes, great songs. 🙂 All 3 available with lyrics by bhaimovich123
I second these, but especially Fools of Damnation.
Higher High and Canvas of life extremely underratred
Has Epica broke the "Giddiness" and JyngerSlapz smile record with this song?
I have said it many times before for this band, and this video is a PERFECT example of it...Epica does "MORE IS MORE" to Perfection!
Glad you enjoyed this one!
Coen Janssen's portable keyboard is a commercially available REVO-1 Curveboard , mad by a company called Nu-Motion in Montreal, Canada. He has taken it crowd surfing , including at the 20th anniversary show last September.
The song is from the most recent album, Omega. The entire 2021 Omega Alive virtual show is amazing. It was recorded live over 5 days and streamed online all at once. So they got to put in a bunch of cool extras, like the acrobats, and the children's choir on The Skeleton Key. The band has posted The Skeleton Key, Victims of Contingency, Unchain Utopia and this one. But you can find all the songs somewhere on TH-cam. One of their first ever songs, Cry For the Moon, was also played here, as well as the ballad, Rivers done acapella.
Omega Alive is a wonderful experience. Epica is awesome!
The song itself isn't new to me, but I KNOW I hadn't seen that video before. Damn. The human chandelier is amazing, and Cohen went from spinning his standard keyboard like a corkscrew top, to playing on a burning upright piano, to his curved wireless keyboard. I've seen him with that last one in person once, when I saw them live in 2016. I've never seen anyone else use that kind of keyboard.
Epica live masters of Rock 2014.
Video contains 2 songs unleashed and Storm the sorrow. Simone was on fire there.
Another suggestion design your own universe retrospect. They exist 10 years thatvtime concert with ful Orchestra.
Another one is the first song from retrospect ...don't forget the intro before. Also very great.
The whole concert retrospect is great.
Oh yeah. the masters of rock festival is one of the group's most favorite performances, especially because Simona is so expressive there and gave 200%, of course, she is almost always good on stage, but she outdid herself there. And for some reason this performance is not at all in the top of the fans and by reactions
Well: kingdom of heaven part 1(live) is a really good song as well. As is ‘Design your universe’ (live Retrospect)!
Just perfection, Epica never disappoints but this performance is next level.
This is probably the only video where you cursed so much hhhhhh!!
Epica is hands down the best band imo. They are very very underrated.
I hope you get to hear all of their albums. Eight albums and all phenomenal, they're consistent in peak quality.
Cry for the moon, Code of life and the final llullaby are good picks for next reactions.
Well damn, that is mind blowing. So bloody amazing. I really gotta check them out some more as well
you should, they are an amazing band
Search "Epica- Omega Alive" and enjoy that gem of a concert!
I agree 100%!!
Hi Chantal.
Check out Epica at Paradiso Live 2006, just so you see their beginnings and can compare it to their recent music.
This band is amazing and Simone is a goddess. 🙂
There is almost no band with such a diverse discography, have fun with ur journey!
Simone…what else can one say? She gets ever better over the years somehow. By the way yes Ari the percussionist has deathcore roots, so he is a power drummer
Hi Jynger,
What an awesome reaction. I really loved your facial expressions, you could really tell you liked it a lot.
There are many awesome Epica songs, I will just give a few of my favorites.
- Rivers, live in Chile : th-cam.com/video/qcLGgfyOmZE/w-d-xo.html
- The final lullaby : th-cam.com/video/YiJ5r8cNiq8/w-d-xo.html
- Sirens : th-cam.com/video/svGQ-q9gx68/w-d-xo.html
- Cry for the moon : th-cam.com/video/Dys1_TuUmI4/w-d-xo.html (Yes, it is really Epica, they were only 18 then).
- Design your universe : th-cam.com/video/9nlPx-HEpCU/w-d-xo.html
Well, these will get you reacting for a while 🙂
And my best guess is that you will like all of them.
Have fun!
Epica takes symphonic metal to a whole other level. 🤘🤘
Fantastic reaction. IMO this is EPICA's magnus opus. Just amazing music, vocals (love their use of choir's), and the whole stage production. From their Omega Alive pandemic streaming show. Everything from this show is amazing. Official videos for Unleash Utopia and Skelton Key are amazing but probably my two favorites are the acapella version of Rivers followed by Once Upon a Nightmare. Two awesome ballads worthy of a twofer reaction. Concur on checking out Simone's collaboration with Apocolyptica on Rise Again (music video or live). Also Rivers live from Chile, music video for Sirens- of Blood and Water (inspired by original Little Mermaid) with Charlotte Wessels and Myrkur for some recent stuff. Finally Epica on stage with full orchestra and choir from 10th anniversary Retrospect concert, Unleashed, Chasing the Dragon, and Design Your Universe. As you can see there is so much Epica to explore and all of it fantastic.
Hey mowak. I think u mean Unchain Utopia?!
@@fritsyt2090 Yes! I sometimes say Unleashed instead of Unchain since I love that song as well. Thanks for the catch!
Epica - unchain utopia (omega alive). Another great song from the same stream event 😁.
Hell yeah! More EPICA please!
epica , the skeleton key, from Omega Live, you are going to love it!!!
My absolute favorite Epica song is "Consign to Oblivion (live)", with which I've already caused an uproar in some posh car dealerships, when - as a potential customer - I definitely want the Bang & Olufsen or the Burmester - automobile sound systems had to test!😎🤘
This is Epica's The Greatest Show on Earth. It is perfection. I've mentioned that Epica is my favorite band, even more than Nightwish. Their unique use of the orchestra and choir mixing them with the incredible band and Simone's haunting voice takes me to places I couldn't imagine.
More to watch... The Skeleton Key, Unleashed (from the Retrospect Live show), Sirens - of Blood and Water feat. Charlotte Wessels and Myrkur, Quietus, and Cry for the Moon. Every one of them will blow your socks off. Enjoy them!
Just as water turns to snow, what is above so is below
i think i have a new fave reaction video. this made me unreasonably happy to watch. can you see why epica is my fave band of all time? lol. i got the DVD for my bday after it came out and its my favourite things ever.
really hope youll be able to get more epica done, but it also makes it that much better when they drop. a couple faves of mine are Ascension, natural corruption, tides of time, and fools of damnation (music/lyric vids for the first two, audio only for the latter unfortunately). cant wait for the next one!
Thank you my friend and that makes me happy you enjoyed it so much! Yes now I see why they are your fav band! They are incredible!!! Can't wait to dive into more Epica :)
There is a high Fidelity reproduction of that gorgeous ballad Tides of Time with lyrics, they’re added in like they are in picture frames it’s beautiful.
There are some good fan made videos for Tides of Time but one of my favorites is an acoustic 3ONStage performance at Pinkpop in 2010. Very small intimate tent with Simone and Coen on Keyboard. th-cam.com/video/ksmBwx_cYgM/w-d-xo.html. The whole short set is amazing. Tides of Time, Solitary Ground, Quietus, This is the Time. th-cam.com/video/ERQmengyF1I/w-d-xo.html
just epic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7:47 love this reaction to that divine transition…
Simone is fucking awesome so are you Love you both and great video and reaction Epica is awesome period............................
Thx!! see you tomorrow at the livestream 🙏👌🤘
Yes, yes and yes! You're so right Jynger..... This is THE one for me. Loved your reaction..... and of course the smile said it all before the song had finished.
Same venue. The Skeleton Key.
Awesome ❤love it. Thanks
You would love their song Universal Death Squad! It is heavy, menacing, relentless and is super challenging to play.
I think you will especially enjoy the crazy fast drumming on that one 🤘🤘🤘
So good to see your happy smiley reaction. Thought you had dislocated your jaw at one stage.
Gigantic fire-spitting cobras? YES PLEASE.
(BTW I saw this first during the original livestream event they had 2 years ago)
6:50 now you know why he is the only one without hair 😂
Finally you do this reaction video😊 Next do Epica - The Final Lullaby feat Shining😉
Also you can do Epica - Vicitims of Contingency (omega Alive)😀
This has got to be one of the best performance videos ever made! That dueling guitar / melted keyboard solo is absolute peak metal showmanship!
Awesome reaction to an awesome song, as always. Go further down this rabbit hole, any song will do. They don't have any bad ones.......Ever ❤
Absolutely overwhelming isn't it LOL!
Epic(a) Masterpiece!
Also from this show try, Cry for the moon and it swings into "Beyond the Matrix " very awesome 👌
That was friggin amazing!🤘
I buy the Epica - Omega Alive DVD for myself last year, the whole show is a masterpiece! I think you would like it too. I like all your reactions i've seen! You are always so nice!
I wish you a Happy Easter weekend!
🥚🤘🖤 Bye!
It sounds like I need to check this out :) Thank you so much for the kind words my friend and you have a Happy Easter Weekend as well :) Take care!
@@JyngerSlapz Thank you! 💋
@@JyngerSlapz Hello! 🙂 Thanks for your reaction, I really enjoyed it!
So nice to watch people discovering this phenomenal band.
Any particular thing in the song that made you feel emotional? I mean, no surprise, but I'm still curious.
I'm wondering if you would feel the same when listening to some of their breathtaking ballads. I can tell you without exaggeration that Epica ballads are among the most beautiful music I've ever heard in my life. Their songwriting is brilliant and then Simone's voice... it's just out of this world. Oh, and their lyrics are deep too.
As you've probably figured out, since this was "part 3" there are another 2 songs titled "Kingdom of Heaven" from 2 earlier albums. Part 1 titled just "Kingdom of Heaven" and it's similar in style to part 3 which you just reacted to. Then part 2 (a.k.a. The Quantum Enigma) is a bit different, less heavy, more atmospheric and generally doesn't receive as much attention as it should, but I definitely love it.
If you decide to do KoH part 1, you can choose either the official lyric video which is cool, or Omega Alive, same concert as you just reacted to.
Can you please let me know if you'd like to hear some of their wonderful ballads? 😉
That show was something, a visual and auditory feast. A few you might consider for later are Mirage of Verity: th-cam.com/video/MuBaVGQ6XRY/w-d-xo.html while it says live, it's not, thankfully some one recognized the audio was terrible and did a video with studio sound. In All Conscience: th-cam.com/video/UQIf86ql3-M/w-d-xo.html from the same show as this one was. and finally, Serenade of Self-Destruction: th-cam.com/video/-hW7EfiBwm0/w-d-xo.html
Great reaction Jynger!
Great to see you enjoying my favorite band.
Try songs from their 10 years anniversary Retrospect concert from 2013.
Design your Universe for instance.
Absolutely love this reaction, Jynger, from giddy to a little bit of misty eyes and back to giddy again (and that a couple of times)! I love Simone's voice and I'm not to keen on Mark's voice, but this was amazing, both the song and the video! BTW, love your A7X top!
Mark sounds way better on the studio recordings
Thank you my friend! Lots of emotions with this song for sure :) Gotta rep A7X when I can!
Great reaction Jynger, new to the channel and earned my sub. Heard this song quite a lot of times and I still chills especially during that epic intro - mega chills.🤘🤘
'Epic' tune, 'epic' reaction!
Epica is great and here a little "pépite" : "the phantom agony" live video during recording the song. Simon has only 19 years old in it (th-cam.com/video/UAlRf9qf9d0/w-d-xo.html).
And this one of the many reasons why EPICA is my favourite band.
You want a nice one : Unleashed live : th-cam.com/video/rxd6sxLxdys/w-d-xo.html
🤘🤘🤘👄👄👄👌👌👌
Next time would you react to lacuna coil ' the house of Shame '..thankyou love your channel👍
Hello!!! You should listen up *"Nymphétamine" of Cradle of Filth*
Hey.... Awesome reaction.. I would love to see your reaction to REVENANT by THE WARNING. PAU the drummer sings this one ALE & DANY do the harmony, it's so different it leaves most listeners speechless. Anyhow I love your reactions. Do the official lyric video. It's nice following the words.. TWA🎶🤟☮️
I’ve come to like some of their stuff. Not this one though…just not for me.
Maybe too heavy for you?
