![[Epic Reaction] Epica - Sancta Terra Feat Floor Jansen (Insane Duo Harms)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/KLPKviAeOVw/mqdefault.jpg)
Both Goddesses of Symphonic Metal 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Floor has Magic Hair™ - it always falls back into place, no matter how hard she windmills. 🤘💥
lol
Definitely magical. I swear her hair just automatically blows without any wind
@@beragis3 That's usually the fan in front of her microphone. :)
Because she’s Dutch lol
I want to know what hair products they both use. I swear the look better after head banging lolol
Oh and the orchestra was there because this was an anniversary concert. The show was atleast 3 hours long i think. And Simone wasn't as heavy headbanging as Floor because she was 3 months pregnant during this show🤟.
Greetz from the Netherlands.
yep, three hours and something
yeah full Orchestra, Full Choir. Look on youtube for Epica - Retrospect (the name of their Anniversary Show) I specially like Unleashed myself.
wow
I was there and it was magical. You want epic, check out Design Your Universe from this concert. The last break was felt through the whole building
One of the best live shows I've ever attended to. 4000 spectators. Pyros. Dancers. Orchestra. Choir. Lights.
Simone simons and Floor are both dutch and have been best friends since long ago😇
Simone Simons
@@fritsyt2090 my bad😁
Simmons and Simons are pronounced noticeably differently.
I know a Simons, and she's absolutely frustrated how often she's called Simmons.
@@garyballard179 already changed it😜
LOL
If you wanna see a crowd of metalheads fall completely silent, listening to a symphony orchestra and two beautiful and talented ladies singing a 13th-century Christian hymn, watch "Stabat Mater Dolorosa". And if you like to react to more Epica without Floor, try "Cry for the moon" from their first album or "Consign to Oblivion" live at the Zenith in Paris. Or maybe "Storm the sorrow", or "Universal Death Squad".
THAT's the one! Thank you for bringing this up, I could not remember the title at all! :)
or anything off of Design Your Universe. Masterpiece album.
I find it strange that many reactors will do this song but very few do Stabat Mater.
@@stevecampbell9670 Well, we just have to get the word out. :)
Yes!!!!!
You were not wrong in assuming Floor and Simone like each other. They have been friends for a long time and have a linked history, with Epica's founder Mark, having been in After Forever with Floor for over 5 years before starting Epica.
Fun fact, Simone was pregnant during this concert and still busted out crystal clear notes.
Funny how people always think that pregnancy is somehow affecting womens voices or their ability to headbang. You'll see this comment on almost every reaction video to any song from the Retrospect show... I'd accept the latter if she were 6 or more months in.
@@SirToby1076 Pregnant and suffering MRSA during a 3 hour + show!
SirToby1076 it does affect lol...the first three months are the worst not the 5,4 and 6 🙄🙄
The other fun fact, the song is quite dark. It's about a suicide bomber who thinks he's in Heaven but has actually gone to Hell.
@@SirToby1076 If you've ever been pregnant (which I've been) you know the first three months are HELL. Tired all day everyday, the nausea, the shortness of breath even though you're not doing anything strainuous and other fun symptoms... So a +3 hour show like that in that condition IS a big challenge physically. The body is creating life out of tiny little cells and is working on overdrive in the first three months. It gets better when you're in the second trimester, and then all hell breaks loose during the third. So yes, many of us are impressed by her performance during the show, and I've been even more so since first-hand experiencing the wonders of pregnancy, because, as I already said, it's very tough on the body.
A small edit: And this is with a healthy and easy-ish pregnancy, too. I cannot imagine how that would go for people who went through complications.
floor jansen is a polite guest, because with her stage presence when she goes on stage this becomes hers, she knows it and as you can see in the video, she tries not to steal the scene from the singer of the epica band
Simone Simmons she started with Epica at 17 and she was three months pregnant at the time of this concert, Floor and Simone are great friends and Nightwish fans live Epica and visa versa!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Simone Simons 😘
Thanks for the correction I always put that extra m in my bad. Thanks again!🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@frankpuncekar5051 🤘🏻
People forget she has MRSA too and that's no joke.:(
Mi hija se llama Simone
If you want more Epica do Consign To Oblivion - Live at the Zenith!
Loveeee Epica!!! More Epica plsssss!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
seconded
Its amazing how some of these bands are interwoven......Nightwish, Epica, After Forever.......and they are all friends and support each other......Floor and Simone had the same vocal teacher and Floor has helped Simone with her singing after Floor, herself became a vocal coach.........its just really cool.....the symphony and choral singers were there bc it was an anniversary show.......
yes that is amazing and they are even more interwoven as Floor is married to Hannes van Dahl (the drummer of Sabaton). And Simone is in a longtime relationship with her partner Oliver Palotai, who plays the keyboards for the Power-Metal-Band Kamelot. And both, Floor and Simone were guests on several Ayreon-albums together with Irene Jansen, Floors Sister and Anneke van Giersbergen, who was Floors inspiration to start singing metal.
You forgot Ayreon!
Susi....since you're into drummers, check out Nightwish doing "Everdream", from the Walken 2013 show.....
Great reaction!
This entire concert is out of this world. 3 hours of pure epicness.
Try these from the same show -
Epica - Design Your Universe
Epica - Unleashed
Epica - The Phantom Agony
im winded after 30-45 minutes lol
Epica "Design Your Universe" from this same concert is excellent.
and "Chasing the Dragon"!
Here is a piece of Trivia. Simone Simmons the singer of this Symphonic Metal Band Epica is married to Oliver Palotai the keyboard player of the Symphonic Metal Band Kamelot. Most also know that Floor Jansen is married to Hannes van Dahl the drummer of Sabaton.
Floor and Epic's lead guitarist Mark Jansen(not related to floor) where in a band Afterforever together. Mark was Dating Simone at the time. when afterforever split up Mark started Epica with Simone. They are not together anymore as a couple but are still good enough friends to be in a band. Simone was actually 3 months pregnant at the time of this concert.
Mark had left AF in 2002 to found a new band, After Forever disbanded in 2009. And now he is dating another vocalist from another band he helped to set up.
After Forever split up officially in 2009. Mark left the band in 2002 because of creative differences (official version) and founded Epica .
@@nick74bul Unofficially from the end of 2007 or so.
@@Immortall1408 Yep.. 2007 was the last tour and nothing after it..
i love that you recognized the musicians and the drummer who was absolutely killer - the song the singers especially Simone were also beyond magic
Yup, Floor and Simone are great friends. They're also both great friends with Elize (Amaranthe) and Alissa (Arch Enemy) and have all guessed at each other shows.
Elize and Alyssa stepped in when Anette Olzon was ill and could not perform at the Denver show on Nightwishs Imaginaerium tour in 2012 (i believe there is a Video about that: "The Denver Debacle"). Tuomas then called Floor and asked her to be the temporary singer for the rest of the world tour and the rest is history.
@@ralflukas9695 Well, Floor has been asked by Tuomans before the debacle, if she could imagine to step in as a temporary replacement for Anette, but they didn´t think that it could happen so fast. Anette was pregnant (plus the other strain between the memebers that had arisen), so they had a plan B in mind for the tour. Only Anette did object to a temporary replacement, because she knew....many fans didn´t love her very much. I even remember a video where Anette did storm midsong of the stage, crying. I don´t like her voice a lot, parts of her songs (with her voice) are good, other parts I don´t like, but people were bullying her personally even at concerts that she´s sh*t. That´s not nice either, she still can sing better than most of the popgirls. Or the haters in the internet. ;)
It was a bad situation for all of them and neither of them did everything right. I´m not an Anette-fan as I said before, but I can understand that she had a hard time, it WAS difficult, the old songs are not for her voice type, the fans also did blame her and all this crap. I still think that she was not the right person for the vocals, it was rather unfair towards her (I know that Tuomas wanted a not classicals singer, this I blame on him) and I´m happy that she can nowadays do her own stuff. I´ve listened into her newer stuff, suits her far more.
Yet Anette made a mistake in these strained circumstances - she got pregnant although she knew that they´d be touring for about a year. I don´t know if it was an "accident" pregnancy, if it was a planned one, it was a stupid, I´ve no other word for it. She could have waited another year with the child, it´s not like she was 48 at the time being. ;)
The concerts were booked and many tickets sold and rescheduling is a nightmare and rather understood because of severe sickness or death in the band or a pandemic situation (as we can totally see at the monent). Though we shouldn´t forget that Americans can take everything to the court and even after the death of Michael Jackson they did fight for cashflow. So, yes it is understandable why they didn´t want to reschedule. In Floors case (pregnancy) they did learn from before or and Floor was a bit more professional (in regards to if the Anette-situation was like "I get pregnant, everybody has to do to my whim"), because she got married yet didn´t immediately got pregnant, she wanted to tour. And after their Tampere concert Nightwish went into hiatus-mode and Tuomas said that Floor could have a child in the next 2 years or so before they´d been touring again. This did work out and Floor even did a christmas concert with Marko, about 6 months pregnant. So I really hope that everybody did mature and learn from their past mistakes (maybe not Tarja´s husband/manager, but she still seems a nice person) and we get happy artists who like what they are doing and with whom they are playing.
Sorry for this novel.
@@Shaakti86 Nightwish fans were bullying Anette? That is not a nice thing. I mean, even if you don't like her voice, you still can be polite and do not need to bully her on a personal level. She did well on some album tracks and can sing very good. I didn't know that some hardcore fans could go that far that the singer leaves the stage in tears. In the documentation "Please learn the setlist in 48 hours" they spoke about an illness of Anette, did they mean her pregnancy? I mean thats not an illness, but could be uncomfortable because pregnant women have days during pregnancy when they don't feel well and it is more difficult if you have to perform live on stage. I didn't know that they planned with Floor as a plan B before the tour even started.
@@ralflukas9695 Yeah, there was bullying of Anette in the internet and there were people e.g. booing at concerts (just a few, but that´s enough). The videos of the Anette-era on TH-cam are mostly rather crappy, yet you can clearly hear, that she´s struggeling with Tarja-songs, some songs sound really terrible, especially shortly after joining. But how could anyone expect something else, she´s not classically trained. Tuomas wanted someone with a completely different voice, yet he did oversee, that the old songs mostly wouldn´t work well with Annette. Plus all this crap from firing Tarja, some people said from the beginning that they hate Anette.
Thing is, if you really don´t like the singer of the band, then you probably should leave the band, which is what I did after "Dark Passion Play". "Amaranth" was quite poppy, but okay, "Bye Bye Beautiful" isn´t a bad song, either, yet I didn´t like the drama stuff. After Tarja I couldn´t get into Anette´s voice, so I did listen the album once and after that for years only "The Islander", around 2010 also "Master Passion Greed", basically the Marko-songs. So, I didn´t go to concerts and didn´t buy "Imaginaerum" (and did miss nice Marko-songs), just reading sporadicly about them, because I didn´t like Anette´s voice in parts of the songs, so I had the old stuff and was content enough. No need to bother and spit too much hate. After several years Anette got a bit better with the old songs, yet there still was straining (inside and out) as you can see in the documentary and in the body language of the whole band before the break.
The illness was the flu, the pregnancy was just on top (I just say hormones). The problems between the bandmembers were there before she even got pregnant. Anette told them about the pregnancy and that she couldn´t complete the booked tour. I don´t know if she thought they would stop touring and tackle the problems with possible recompensation, nobody knows what people write into contracts. But I heard from another european band (medium known), that they had to pay for everything themselves for touring through South America as supporting act and because of that they only do tours through Europe nowadays (and about contractual stuff of some festivals). They are sad for their south american fans, but they have to pay their bills and rather use the money to make albums.
Back to Anette. They knew about her pregnancy, but didn´t want to stop the tour (or there migth have been fines in the american contract, Americans can nearly sue everything), so they wanted to have a temporary maternity leave fill-in (Floor), yet Anette didn´t want another singer as temporary replacement. Especially someone of Floors caliber, because Anette knew that "fans" didn´t like her and Floor is well, just Floor. So, pride and fear on Anette´s side, not a good combination and pain for her, not an easy situation.
With Epica this wasn´t a problem. When Simone fell ill for months in 2008 (I think nearly half a year) because of MRSA, they did cancel/postpone concerts, yet then brought in Amanda Somerville as a temporary singer replacement. But this was a different situation, as Amanda did work with the band before and was vocal coach for both Simone and Floor. Plus she´s married to Sander Gommans, former guitarist of After Forever. :D
The siren sisters of metal have been friends for years and they love one another which is evident in the way they're having so much fun together on stage.
Next stop on the Symphonic Metal Train, Epica: Consign to Oblivion live at the Zenith in Paris. Love you guys Cheers
Yeah, Thanks Chris. I always think they are talking to me, when you recommend a video. :)
Retrospect is the best show going, much heavier and more dramatic stuff than this to come
Want more Epica react to Consign to Oblivion Live at the Zenith. It will probably surprise you.
You need to watch their whole concert on this 10 years anniversary in 2013 and I hope too see them do their next anniversary in 2023. Bigger and better. Epica love;) 🖤🤘🖤🤘
I see you found another dutch goddess :D Awesome pick. Think you'll love some more Epica, Consign to Oblivion live at the Zenith seems to be fun with you guys
That yell at the end was Mark. In Stabat Floor sings Alto and Simone Soprano
they both are good friends because they share the same vocal coach
The beautiful readhead is Simone Simons, vocalist of Epica. Floor Jansen has been invited as a guest here. Both ladies are from the Netherlands (my country) :-)
Definitely should react to Consign to Oblivion by Epica that's their best live song
Yes the Live at Zenit version
Yes, definitely the live version at Zenith.
And then, there is "Dancing in a Hurricane" from the same concert.
I love everything from Epica. They are my #1 for sure 😀
The man who shouts "Floor Jansen" at the end with a growling voice is Mark Jansen (no family relation). Both he and Floor were together in a band called After Forever in the 90s/early 2000s until Mark quit the band due to creative differences. He went on to found Epica with his girlfriend at the time - Simone. Simone and Floor are close friends and have been for years - this is why they have such good chemistry on stage.
Mark and Simone are no longer a couple, but they still work very well together. Simone is married with Oliver Polotai, the keyboards player of another metal band : Kamelot (in fact she was pregnant during this show which is why she didn't headbang as violently as Floor xD ) . Very early Epica (then named Sahara Dust) was in fact Kamelot's support band during their Epica tour (from their namesake album), and it is from Kamelot's Epica album title that the name of band comes from.
Kamelot was the support band during Nightwish's 2012 Imaginaerum US tour, during which then-Nightwish-vocalist Anette Olzon fell ill minutes before their Denver show. Kamelot's session vocalists Elize Ryd and Alissa White-Gluz covered for Anette and the show went on while she was hospitalized. Nightwish's decision to go forward with the show upset Anette and she publicly criticized the band on her blog. This was the last straw in Anette's and Nightwish's already troubled relationship and days later, the band fired her, with Floor acting as her replacement for the remainder of the tour. We know the rest of the story.
Elize Ryd was also considered by Nightwish as a vocalist - way back in 2005 when they fired their first vocalist, Tarja Turunen. They thought Elize was too young and inexperienced at the time and went with Anette instead. Elize went on to found her own band, Amaranthe. Unrelated to this, on their first album with Anette, Nightwish released a song titled Amaranth.
Are your heads spinning yet? XD
Floor's windmill game is in a world of its own!
Great reaction as always guys!
Definately check out some more Epica, Consign to Oblivion live at the Zenith, Paris is dope! 🤘
PS, it's dope because they get the crowd to do a death wall at the beginning 👌
blew me away.. get it lol
@@samantha6493 no it's not only dope because of the death wall. It's dope because it is a Masterpiece!!!
You will notice that she always has her hands on her hips when she does this. It creates stability and helps to protect her neck.
@@fritsyt2090 I wasn't implying that's the only reason, just one of many!
Hey there you have also have to listen to Within Temptation,that's also a symphonic metal band and they are Dutch and their leadsinger Sharon den Adel and she has a beautiful angelic voice and you have to listen to Angels and also to their latest song Entertain You. They rock🤘🤘
Thanks for noticing the tremendous work by the drummer from Epica, Arien van Weesenbeek. ! He is amazing. Also, if you get a chance to just sit back and watch it again, look at the conductor rocking out, and the ladies in the choir too. Great reaction! :)
The lead singer of Epica is Simone Simmons , and is a soprano trained singer too like Floor. And in that concert guys was a little pregnant if you noticed . She never did extreme things and protected her belly. How lovely !
Eindhoven, Netherlands, 2013 ... it was an amazing experience to be there, to see the band, the orchestra, the choir, and of course, Simone and Floor on stage ... wow.... still today it is not easy to find the right words :)
Another awesome choice to react too! 🤘 Think about reacting to Epica "Phantom Agony, official live." Another out of this world production and amazing song. Love y'alls reactions!!
Dutch girls always enjoy singing ,looking and sounding like angels.
May I suggest Ayreon The day the world breaks down ,featuring these two and nine others !
wow adding to the list
You liked the drummer you said, check out "Cry for the moon" from the same show and you will have an nice time with drums. There is endless of good songs from Epica (which is my favourite symphonic metal band) few other songs you should check out from Epica is 'Sensorium' , 'unleashed' , 'sabat mater dolorosa' and 'the phantom agony' just to name few of them
I mentioned Epica in my post in the morning and it is here now. :-) Lovely. There are some clips from 2004, if you want to see how the band looked back in the day. And Retrospect is a great concert. From heavy to Disney.
Simone Simons and Floor Jansen singing together is unbelievable
They don't just look like they're friends, these two ladies have been best friends for a long time. They even lived together years ago. Her name is Simone Simons and she was pregnant during this performance. So much hair everywhere in this video! Gotta love it. lol
Epica - Consign to Oblivion - Zenith/Paris... It's from another world.
U guys just saw one of Wonder Duets !! Glad to watch u reacted again, And hope to hear new songs from wolf hunterz soon too !! Fighting !!
They were not lying when they named the band Epica...react to Unleashed!
Cheers from Costa Rica.
The singers are Simone Simons from Epica and Floor Jansen from Nightwish and ReVamp.
I heard Simone here in Costa Rica in 2019 and she have a voice that can't be recorded. His voice is unique and the band in our country presented a beautiful setlist to listen to.
I recommend listening to:
Epica - Cry for the Moon
Nightwish - Music, a piece from their latest album.
Great review you guys. I read once when Floor does those windmills, her hands are always on her hips. Some sort of safety thing that she does to prevent injury to herself.
This is just one great song from a three-hour performance. The entire concert is a masterpiece!
If you were wowed by this orchestra, you should check Dimmu Borgir “Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse” live or “Mourning Palace” live. You will blow your load...
To amazingly awesome Valkerie Goddesses!!!
Simone simons... both dutch... proud🇳🇱🤘😎
Another dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation. Try the video Angels. Sharon den Andel self taught singer.
My favorite song by Epica is... EPICA - In All Conscience (EPIC METAL FEST Aftermovie)
You're definitely right about the drummer. There's something about symphonic metal bands having great drummers; I think it's probably simple necessity considering the constant time changes etc.
Loved the reaction. Thanks for this one.
This video hasn’t even started yet. I’ve seen this video on several reactions and I swear to Jesus-it NEVER gets OLD!! Y’all are so fun.
Your reaction looked like a Simonetaneous Floorgasm!! ;-)
Looks like a proper eargasm on both of you. Love how you two always smile. Thats why i keep on coming back. Love the reaction. Thank you guys. Been lissening to your music all day at work 😁 love it. Thanks again guys. AND i think its time for another Sabaton now isnt it?! ❤
I see absolutely everyone has identified Simone for you lolz of course. Great reaction guys, I never get tired of seeing professional musicians reactions to the songs I love. It’s so damn fun and interesting. Thanks again!
Don’t worry about the necessary pauses, you time them well and everyone is aware of copyright rules of youtube, so please do carry on. 😁
Epica singer is Simone Simons and yes Floor and Simone have been friends for awhile
It's always a joy to watch your reactions. Your expressions show how much you feel the music. Looking forward to more Nightwish. Peace. (I also liked your music videos 🤗)
and that is Called Symphony Metal
Sancta Terra = "Sacred Ground ( or land )" in Latin.......shoutout to the choir.........
I am so happy I have gotten to know your music through this channel! You're awesome!
that creazy all in headbanning is used by death metal artists to repel muscle aches and can benefit the voice to make it sound more clearer if done right with relaxed neck and whiping youre head around totally relaxed makes such an awsome headspin
Awesome pick Chris. Thank you for requesting this song. You rock Brother! :-)
Guys you need to check out Stabat Mater Delarosa from the same gig, as well as Consign To Oblivion live at the Zenith by Epica.... you won't be disappointed!!🤘💕
can you imagine being in that orchestra and playing in this concert..LOL, I can only imagine what they are thinking.. this is actually an awsome song but you can never go wrong having Floor in the mix!!! great reactions you guys!!! !!don't know about you... but i wanted it to keep going and not stop!!!
Great reaction video to both of you! Paece.
I really enjoy your reactions!!Keep doing it
They made it an EPIC performance!❤
She’s Simone Simons and is a close friend of Floor for years indeed. And Simone is not headbanging or windmilling cause she’s pregnant at that time. The one who’s shout out Floor’s name @ the end was Mark Jansen, a former band member and founder of After Forever (Floor’s first band she entered as background singer @ 16yo) No relationship between those two but coincidence carrying the same sure name.
I have seen Simone and Floor live on stage singer together and both of them blew me away
The orchestra and choir make them Epic that's why they are called Epica
Great chemistry, no one-upwomaning one another, pure affection. Great perfomances by all.
the female singer for Epica is Simone Simons and just love her mic stand it's a big S
Now you do know with Floor from Nightwish and Simone Simons from Epica two of the great Dutch female symphonic metal singers.
But there are still four! missing:
Sharon den Adel from „Within Temptation“: „And we run feat. Xzibit“, „Angels“ or „Paradise feat. Tarja“
Charlotte Wessels from „Delain“: „Masters of Destiny“ or „Sing to me fest. Marco Hietala“ (from Nightwish)
Anneke van Giersbergen in Duet with Sharon den Adel: Within Temptation „Somewhere“ (also with a full orchestra)
Dianne van Giersbergen with Xandria: „Nightfall“.
you must lissen to "ReVamp - Disdain Live at Graspop 2010" the second band of Floor.
This was a 3 hour set for them, they did 2 songs with Floor
Nightwish uses orchestra and choir too. They just can't take them with them on world tour. So the choir and orchestra make backing tracks for them. I think Epica usually does the same.
You've got to react to “Yours is an empty hope" one of the heaviest stuff by Nightwish. Go and check it out!
Absolutely they must. Wembley-2015.
Loved the reaction, this song never fails to impress.
Please don’t stop with Epica here though, they are so much more than this song (as great as it is) and unfortunately many reactors never venture beyond Sancta Terra.
As you can see from the comments, Design Your Universe or Consign to Oblivion are probably your best bets for a follow up.
Simone is amazing...in her band and when featured with other artists (Kamelot in the Haunting). BUT....this performance shows how powerful Floor is. I notice a clear difference between the strength of the notes through all registers.
SIGHHHHHHHH ....pure magic ..GREAT REACTION GUYS !!!
Great reaction, guys. Thank you for the comments, as always, spot on. Another fun fact... A very high misconception with Epica guitarist Mark JANSEN and Floor... they are NOT related. Jansen just happens to be a very common last name in the Netherlands. Keep rockin'!! 😊❤🤘🤘
Love you guys!
Epica - design your univers live retrospect
Same concert and greate ending of a 3+houer preformenc 🤟😁
Okay everyone is in agreement that the ENTIRE concert was amazing! however....the best part is when Simone said that the drummer, Arien, "has a battery up his ass" because he is so energetic :P
Simone and Floor are good friends and as far as I know, Simone had vocal coaching from Floor for a while. (Yes, Floor is a vocal coach to)
But the chorus on that performance is just so great. You get the feeling, a horde of amazons will ride in any time and slay orks and demons. Love it!
Well, they got you on Epica… Nightwish, Epica, all you needs is some Within Temptation reactions and you'll complete the holy trinity of Symphonic Metal bands.
I would say Delain instead of Within Temptation. WT is heading too much to mainstream the past 10 years. Well it's maybe also matter of taste because I love Delain very much too they are top four for me. I like only the older work from WT.
More epica please
Simone Simons from Epica is a good friend of Floor, they used to live togehter too (on college I believe).
And again a super cool reaction video from both of you.
I'm still waiting for a reaction from Nightwish, Devil & the Deep Dark Ocean,live Buenos Aires, i hope it comes soon because you 2 are the best when it comes to emotional reactions.
Kind regards from the Netherlands.
thank you! there are so many songs and bands its hard to keep up lol!
Doing a great job guys, as a few people have said ,check out consign to oblivion live at zenith 🤘
U guys should check "Yours is an empty hope" from Nightwish! Awesome! Btw - nice Video again!
Retrospective..... I was there in Eindhoven the Netherlands
All kinda crazy musicians in europe :)
You have to watch the entire concert. It is almost 3 hrs. long. It is one of the best concerts ever.
You are awesome!
Floor actually did another song with Epica during this concert.
The way Floor headbangs at the end is called the windmill :D You should listen to more Epica, it's good for the soul ;-)
they might know eachother , floors brother is one of the members of epica. they all ' grew' up in the netherlands
