Absolutely love how each member of the group here is shown smiling and really enjoying the song. No pseudo "metal" prosing or anything, just musicians enjoying the hell out of something they have created together.
Same feeling here!
Its awesome to see that.
They are posing like every singer does in every musical video in the world (or acting if you prefer that term). Different kind of metal, different kind of pose.
they enjoing judjement day
Yes, because they'r in love of Jesoos
7 years ago looks like 1 year ago
Absolutely 🔥🤘
Time walking ao fast human walking too slow
That's what we call quality.
this video is like a hardcore Pantene commercial :D
Cassandra Teal this comment made me smile irl
hahahahaha I can't
Cassandra Teal Amaranthe is worse :)
Eu entendi a referência huehuehue
Cassandra Teal I wish I had hair like that
You don't see bands looking like they're enjoying themselves enough. I enjoyed this vid more than I normally would watching a music video cos they look like they're having a blast.
I have to agree and say this even applies to live performances. Up and coming or "smaller" bands need to understand that. They have to enjoy themselves and engage with the public. I have seen many instances where the musicians don't even move around the stage and interact with each other or the public.
Well folks, it finally happened: Epica wrote a song about the dangers of Skynet
First thing I thought of :D
same here :D "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" were the first thing that came to my mind!
this is not about skynet but about what is going on the world now NWO
I like the Song, but it creeped the fuck out of me when I really read the lyrics. How can they just stand there and sing or play that song and enjoying it? 😂😂
dude same lol sounds like some end times type stuff and they're totally ready to face God
I love how much fun they're having
Me too :)
I know right
It's just so human. You can see the precise moment each of them actively think about the next part, and then they celebrate nailing it. I wish bands would do more of this style of music/lyric video.
+LimeZProductions You took the words out of my mouth
I agree :)
I've literally been listening to EPICA since they first came out back when I was in high school. While The Divine Conspiracy is still my favorite album, I still love their new albums and am so glad they are still releasing music. I love Mark's lyrics and songwriting, and of course Simone's singing ability! EPICA sings about issues no one wants to talk about at all. This is part of what makes them so good. They are still my favorite band to this day!
" EPICA sings about issues no one wants to talk about at all."
They might be the new Moody Blues.
"i am forever the snake devouring its tail... in search for eternity..."
Just wow
Café e Ciência EPICA tem mesmo muuitos fãs das terrasTupiniquins, até o Café e Ciência.
Café e Ciência its because Ouroboros only rhymes with a few words... Lol
Newsflash? That's humanity.
It's called the ourobouros. Read and research.
Archons
Annunaki
Enki
Draconians
I am over and over again how these guys call it a "Lyric Video" and it's still more of a music video than most "Music Videos" out there :D
nuclear blast lyric videos are as produced as a music video haha
Guilherme Juquênzio And that's a great thing! :D The last two Lyric Videos by Equilibrium were little masterpieces in their own kind too, made like music videos :D
at least you can still read the lyrics
most official lyric videos from metal bands are completely unreadable :P
rondowar Yeah that's true :D
Depends on the genre in general, but yes :D
to be honest I always like simple music videos
"Find your grace in defeat" = "We are your salvation through destruction"
So.... Basically the lyrics are written by the Reapers of MassEffect.
Universal Deathsquad indeed!!!
I feel more akin to Guardians Of The Galaxy.
GRITO
Robotic legions...I'm thinking more Geth :p
+LifeForBass well we already have drones and robots that can walk. It's only a matter of time before soldiers are living beings no more.
I'm just thinking of Skynet
This song does not get enough credit. As a metal fan form the original 4 horseman and someone who Loves loves metal . This band has it all. Metal back ground, great base and drums, keyboard, lead guitar is on point the addition of the death metal voice and the angel of a lead is such the combo and metal man should be frothing over.
nevermind explaining how the world actually works in basically every song. no wonder mainstream channels dont want anything to do with them
Cuando Épica deje de hacer música, voy a llorar muy fuerte!
Oh me too!!!!!! UGH
OH GOD !! This is so fucking good !!
Damn look the sound of the guitars and the drums, it's soooo good, the keybords are so beautiful too. And Simone sings like an angel...And man, look that solo !
Another masterpiece coming ! I can't wait
youre right !!
+Jan “Dreejavu” Dreeser XD
marilyn manson yes!!! not this church crap with a wannabe marilyn all TRACKS sound the same SHIT CHURCH GOODIE GOODIES
Are you serious? How do you come up with this comparison? Go
I think you meant to say Simone is an angel. hahaha
Epica never disapoints.
really? I think the last album was one of few good albums they made
I feel like Requiem For The Indifferent was a disappointment. Their worst album, imo. But this sounds amazing.
True, it is the weakest album, but also has its high points.
+Lyric Poet I don't know. monopoly on the truth was good.
+Lyric Poet and storm the sorrow
This is the most interesting band in decades, and Simones vocals beats it all in a stunning beauty
This is one of those songs that should be in the setlist EVERYTIME.
Epica NEVER disappoints!
NEVER
the name is self evident maam
Never × 2
Never never and never
Everything I wanted and more. Epica never disappoint!
Literally true. I can't think of a single bad release... must be some sort of black magic?
more like redhead magic)
I totally love it!
Magic no, it's the power of Heavy Metal.
I think Requiem for the indifferent seems too weak after Design your universe.
Honestly, what makes this great is the fact that it looks like they all LOVE their job and our gaving so much fun :).

@Vapid Nonsence What are you even talking about???
@Vapid Nonsence that's a whole lot of words to not say anything intelligent
The original commenteer is basically saying they have no bad songs. Wow. Vapid Nonsense (Well, that's apt) - Ever hear of projection?
@@Monty-or9sb OMG it just registered with me what his name is. Could be an elaborate troll. If so, fair play.
@Vapid Nonsence Maybe click on "read more" before you comment next time hahahaha
One thing always stays at the top of my favourite reasons to love this band. Epica could have been a name easily taken by another group. However if another group did think of it, I suppose they thought of it as too pompous, arrogant, or feared they might not live up to the name. This band didn't and they just gave it and still give the best ...the most EPIC versions of themselves every time they can. That is what makes them great ...not the name itself but what lies behind it: sweat, time, effort, creativity on a grandiose scale. Thank you so much for this upload!
They actually took the name Epica from Kamelot though ;)
+Daisylove76 well that i did not know. thank you for the info.
There is a Kamelot album named Epica.
look at metallum metal archives you will see there are six or seven bands named Epica
As other stated. They where inspired by Kamelot's Epica album which is the 2nd of a story based off of Faust. March of Mephisto is so bad arse when you got good bass to push with.
The chorus has an absolutely crazy good hook. This is one of those songs as a band, they had to of been sitting there in the booth and when that chorus kicked in, looked at each other and said "oh hell yeah".
Ikr
That sounds nowhere than metal but god damn it’s catchy
i love it when Simone smiles as she sings.
2024 y no e perdido el encanto de sus musicas💯💯❤🔥
This 52 year-old lifelong metalhead awoke this morning unaware of an awaiting present on TH-cam from my favorite band of the last 10 years...a new song and video !!! I was able to see them live this past Feb. 2nd in Atlanta, Georgia...and I STILL am smiling at the memory. GREAT BAND...KILLER NEW TUNE... can't wait for the CD to drop..
I'm so excited for the album!
Me too! Been waiting long for this!!!
KudRokk since the last album "the quantum enigma" it somehow made me really excited for the upcoming album because I felt like it's going to be even more epic.
+Sarah Nemo You're right Miss Nemo! Quantum was a blast and I've had a lotta fun with it, and still have! But I am always waiting really hard for new Stuff of my Fav Bands! I saw them in January and they announced the new Album ---> that's exactly where it gets frustrating, when you know there's something in the process, but It'll take more than half a year, to be able to hear it 😂😂🤘🏻
KudRokk So true, I get really impatient when it comes to music and new albums 😜 do you like sirenia? I've heard that Ailyn won't continue with them, it's so sad!
+Sarah Nemo Yeah so true! So what shalk we do, to kill time Until the 30th of September? I've got no Idea, but it will be truly hard, perhaps even harder than All games of the DARK SOULS Series 😂😂😂 ! As for Sirenia, I'm sad to tell you, that I'm not really into their songs. I like 2 or 3 very much, but most of their songs just don't catch me 😑
It's worth remembering that we are not cold and steady machines.. Keep our hearts and feelings open! Thank you epica.
Epica sounds like no-one else and no-one sounds like Epica. Hail the new album! Starting off where "Quantum" left off. I like the musicality of this song.
Much more progressive than their lasts albums.
Epica is at their best when they incorporate progressive elements into their music. Needless to say I am really excited for this album!
Definitely a good thing!
I've always thought that RFTI was by far their best album. Although maybe I'm just biased since I'm a big prog fan.
maybe it's because simone's husband, holy lord akerfeldt
Huskope Shroud w0t mate?
Now THIS is how you do a video, can't wait for the album!!!
4:54 The guitarist!!!!! WhAT a CUTE voice!!!!!!
lol
Seamos sinceros. Épica tiene la combinación perfecta entre la delicadeza y la fuerza del metal gótico . Gracias Épica!!!!!
This "lyrics" video has better quality than most "actual" music videos. Well done!
Also, the song is INSANE and so uplifting, heavy but catchy in the chorus. So stoked, cannot wait for the album to finally be released
Nunca me dejan de sorprender y agradar, grandes musicos, grande su musica, EXCELENTE MUJER, la mejor maldita banda de metal sinfónico.
Parece música de pawer ranger
Is unbelievable how Simone can be THAT beautiful.
This is incredible. Vocally and musically, with a killer guitar solo at the end. What a band.
they dont change their style by fashion, making electronic effects and later dying, they grow as their music :) proud of them
*Epica After Forever!!!*
4:44 best part she has an amazing voice
EPICA is the best Metal Band in the World !
As great as you can expect from Epica.
Epic
* a
Precious Metal Trove epic for great song
AlexViking88 ᛒᛆᛚᚴᚤᚱᚼᛆ cheers babe :)
+Precious Metal Trove I just found a good band because of you! Path To Destiny! 😀 Thank you!
u must be religious ? epic shit yes all sounds the fucking same
There's no band that comes even remotely close to the brillant songwriting of Epica ❤
Just listened to THP and once again these guys surpassed themselves, TQE is still my favourite but damn this one is close behind. They are umbeatable when it comes to their niche. Grandiose image, lyric content, musical approach, vocals, marketing, really excited to see them live!
just wish they came to Athens, Greece!!!!!! we love them soo much here!!!!!!! \/ love from \/ 3 N U 55 \/
Last 2 albums have been genre-defining 10/10 albums.
power, speed, and symphonic, all in one.. :D NOICE
Simone is so damn cute in this video
yes :c
When isn't she
in this video only?!... :P
*every video.
The whole band is cute as hell
Epica's like... one of the few symphonic metal bands that's still good after 15 years and they keep staying fresh!
La letra es espeluznante 😮 me gusta cuando canta con ese tono tipo opera ❤
I never thought of Simone as having much belting ability, but I actually really like how her voice sounds here. I love how she is expanding her ability. Contrast this style with the tightly-controlled, almost emotionless way she sang in TPA and it's amazing how much she has evolved.
The title fits Mass Effect
"Robotic Legions" Oh yeah, I'm definitely playing this song with Mass Effect
absolutely :D
The lyrics are kind of lame when you actually read it
The song's name still fits to mass effect and the sound is amazing ... you don't really expect outstanding lyrics from epica, do you?
Um no not really it does not fit at all.
Da pra sentir a emoção dessa música. Caraca que arranjo! Trabalho lindo e harmonioso.
Falou tudo irmão
First time seeing this band and I am seriously impressed! Just as I am impressed with seeing Dance with the Dragon from Dark Sarah. That link lead me here as a suggested video to watch. I just don't know what to say! This song is literally a masterpiece! We all need to be thankful for these individuals that they would share their love and passion for musicianship and for letting us have such great music to cherish for a lifetime! You truly are Epic on so many scales! Thank you for all your hard work and I will definitely be looking at your other videos! Love from the USA!
Good Good. Epica is one of this bands that never disappointed you. I hope this album will be greatest than the last. The Simone's voice is great like always
"robotic fans stand in line to carry out the album" ... well i cant wait. want it NOW
I love videos like this where all musicians shows how they're having so much fun, and that they love what they do :')
"I am forever the snake devouring its tail
In search of eternity"... I still can't believe these thoughts...
i was never a fan of this band but i have to say that this record is by far the most superb and neat they've ever released.Both music and lyrics are great. All songs combine perfectly. You finally managed to make me buy one of your albums,Epica ...congratulations :P
They have to be one of the most hard working bands this days and still make great music!
I love the way they have so much fun when performing.
3:16 Mark doing the sound of the up harmonics with his mouth "PKALALWW"
Their lyric videos are always more than "Lyric videos"
"I am forever the snake devouring it's tail, in search of eternity."
"I'm immortal thus my freedom is my captivity." -Kamelot, Across the Highlands.
this song improves with time like the good wine.
And the lyrics are more deep and intelligent of what they seem at first sight.
At first I thought the lyric of this song is on both human's and robot's perspectives and it's kinda confusing at some parts.
Recently a friend told me that this song is on robot's perspective only and the lyric is much easier to understand now
Decided this is one of their best songs ever written. Musically, lyrically. It also has the best bass and guitar tones. and the infectious melody from the vocals and keyboard really contrasts well with the harshness and heaviness.
I feel like after Requiem, Epica will never disappoint again. This is amazing in all aspects, the riffs, the drums, the mixing, everything. Am I the only one hearing a bit of Nightwish influences in the orchestration parts? Can't wait for the album.
both are symphonic metal. of course there are similarities
You didn't like Requiem? Honestly that was the album that made me really love Epica. It might not be their best in retrospect, but I honestly love it.
+Meowphistopheles Requiem took a while to grow on me but especially after seeing them pull off the songs on Retrospect the DVD I've come to appreciate it even though it's the weak link between two perfect albums.
Meowphistopheles I liked a few songs, but as a whole I felt it was lacking in my opinion.
Hilary Helena That's fair. To each their own!
They all look like they're having so much fun. Awesome
I love their stagemanship. Aside from the great music, they can also express it in their performance. It's really amazing.
This song was very epic. It had a symphonic metal sound to it. All the instruments sounded great, including the vocalist!
Cannot wait for this album. A friend said it last night, Epica gets better and better with each release.
its gonna be tough for them to surpass The Quantum Enigma, that album was a masterpiece, but i wont be suprised if they can, they are an amazing band
They're been fairly consistent for me, definitely not getting better though. The Phantom Agony and Design your Universe were my favs. Cosign to Oblivion and Quantum were also fairly good. But, not a fan of Requiem... at all, and this new song is garbage to me.
Its a masterpiece. It flowed well, and had perfect symmetry, and every song just meshed. Fresh, even still.
Oceanborn and Once are also Nightwish's master pieces.
TO me they have stylistic differences. And at the core Nightwish are folk/power metal band. And at the core Epica are a death metal band, with keyboard, backed by an orchestra. But their earlier stuff was orchestra backed by death metal band. Depends on what you enjoy most.
I would call Epica symphonic metal, because of the symphonies, and the keyboard, with the orchestra and choir.
Another Masterpiece from Epica!!
Listening to this while playing Horizon Zero Dawn seems fitting xD
Zuckerbuck's Meta Theme Song.!!!. Lol
How Appropriate.. 😂😂😂😂
This is basically a song about the backstory of Terminator
I mean I love the Terminator series, but Id stan the hell out of it if they covered the score for a Terminator film.
@@RhomboMus stan? The fuck is that?
I just had the best visual/listening experience of my life.
First time Epica? :)
@@cancelled_user no, we did covers of Epica way back but this song, in my humble opinion, is one of their bests. Everything about this song is superb!
@@ariannegift5755 Oh yeah true :) I think they don't really have bad songs. And I would have problem to pick Top 10. Just their ballads alone are best I've ever heard from any metal band. Not that I know all bands of course, but damn... Epica is incredible.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this song. Perfection.
I really love how the orchestra music is working with the band, creating a complex yet fresh song. Twenty-tens was really a great decade for music. Nowadays, it is all just synthesized in computer to make music cheap, prefabricated for general folk. I really miss this 2010's aesthetics when bands would really hire orchestras to accompany them.
🤣🤣 you sound old. Authentic music is still out there and will always be
And you sound like a someone who doesn't get the joke..
this song makes me smile
the rythm is just so fun
love it!
Love this song!
For me The Holographic Principle is the best album! Even better than Design Your Universe.
Wow, I came here thinking it would be another dark pop Epica song, but this is actually good in comparation to their last 4 albums, Im kind of surprised, it kind of reminds me to "Design your Universe" which makes me have expectations over this band again, Good!
The greatest thing for me is that Simone finally left aside that poppy belting sound and kind of return to her original tone of voice, I really like it. Congrats!
A masterpiece
esse é o gás que faltava na minha vida
Jesus Christ this band is way more amazing than I expected
Seems like we share a similar name.....
Just fantastic. I really love the flow of this one. Unique and powerful.
I have to say, for me this song style sounds much better than their last album, if 'THE HOLOGRAPHIC PRINCIPLE' is just like this, this will be a masterpiece. Nice song.
Does Simone dream of electric sheep?
Yes
Don't we all, these days?
I remember seeing in an interview awhile back Epica wanted this album heavier with a more raw sound compared to the polished sound on TQE. I think they accomplished that. What's interesting is Simone's voice on this album sounds more like her voice hearing her live. Good stuff!
Love this band. Epica and Simon are insanely talented. Bring on the new album and tour, hope they aren't diluted by an army of bands. Headliners, full set, same fire I'd expect in Europe here in the US.
6 minutes with 43 seconds of powerfull metal energy. EPICA is a beast in the scene.
A Melhor banda de Symphonic Metal do mundo
HAIL EPICA!
Ariën van Weesenbeek... what a DRUMMONSTER! ;) yeah!
This band really fits their name. Everything is just epic!
They said redheads have no souls, but this charisma, this powerfull voice ! she must consume a loot of souls ...
who the fuck dislikes this?
Someone that likes epica and their work but thinks the song its just empty compared to their other own project , the message it just obvious and easy to catch no methaphores, and the level of music and composition it just like some Amaranthe generic structure and sounds not just like a copy but extacly the same as their previous album ,and even that one it my less favorite of their work. THe grunts parts are ok but sound the same, and the chorus are very "Epic" but not unique. i can paraphrase epica en come out with the same generic chorus , try to come out with the resing to surrender chorus ,ahhh see? theres a difference. i came out with this conclusion: they deliberately change the style THE KNOW it and they dont care (this its fine for them but makes me sad,) or their are in a bubble made of fantasy and they havent compared their previous works and havent realized how low they have reach. its not the intruments its not the chorus its no the lyics ITS JUST EMPTY its there but it isnt.
I agree with Silvio. I realy like Epica but their lyrics are just meh.
agree with you Silvio
+Silvio
yeah, this song would completely fit in their previous album, sounds the exact same
I liked their previous album, but I like differences between albums even more :)
the lyrics though.. they're mediocre, they didn't 'resonate' in me like some of their earlier songs (we will take you with us, was the first and favorite album/thing I saw from epica)
all in all it sounds nice, but nothing new, and a song isn't epic if it isn't different
Haj Ayed Amir Kakhi Kiknadze ***** rondowar Im Happy to know someone shares my opinion on something in this blackhole that its the internet al last
,thank you
Can't be the only one who thinks the message behind this song is actually happening
CrazyKiller I'm thinking the same.
I Think the Same....and the people laugh of This Danger....
CrazyKiller its is your not alone
You bet it is. Pretty soon just about every worker is going to be replaced by robot. There will be no jobs for us. What then?
@@lizzyq7807 Something besides capitalism. The only reason robots are even a problem is because the employers and investors own everything and control everything and would not be willing to share. The only reason we have to worry about jobs that pay well or paying rent is because one class owns everything and the other must sell their labor to survive. It's essentially still a master - slave system, just not explicit so apparently most people don't see it until something really bad makes them question what's going on around them. Or they come across someone who tells them.
The lyrics of this song sound exactly like a description of the non-working class, the owners. In fact it sounds more like it's about capitalists than robots.
"we are the ones to change the world now, still in control of all machinery" - that's what a capitalist IS
Simone Simons is a godess from the spiritual sky... Her voice is not from this world
She's not a Goddess she is god.😊
i love this song
i love epica !!
Symphonic Industrial Metal
Metal progresive
only symphonic
it is a mix of progressive metal and symphonic metal
Maybe for the industrial only misses it for the generic beeps from the keyboard.......oh god
more like progressive. nothing to do with industrial metal ....
Design Your Universe meet The Quantum Enigma and it sound better then ever!!!
Mark described this album as Quantum Enigma's bigger brother :p
Doubt the can go past Enigma. i think they've reached their highest point already. This song is proof of it.
They keep elevating the level, damn hahah
world class musicians, each one a master of their craft!
Epica's music is perfect for workout. It's so motivating ❤
