There's something deeply satisfactory about seeing a large crowd of metalheads, completely silenced by their profound respect for the work of art being performed in front of them. 🤘😁
And you...you get it. This was exactly my point!
Metal and classical music and the people who listen to it have more in common than most people think. I read an article about a study they did about it. "Beyond sharing a love of the theatrical, both types of listeners tend to be introverted, creative and at ease with themselves." www.cbc.ca/music/heavy-metal-and-classical-music-have-more-in-common-than-you-think-1.5262655
@@black4pienus How very interesting! Thank you very much for sharing!!
@@black4pienus I love classical and metal and...I'm a writer. So symphonic metal certainly fits.
And that's how you get a bunch of metalhead kids to listen to an ancient Catholic hymn in Latin and enjoy it!
See, exactly my point!
I wouldn't call it "ancient" but yeah :)
The hymn is from the 13th century and the music setting for it was composed by a Baroque composer Giovanni B. Pergolesi in 1736 just before he died (at the age of 26).
@@cancelled_user honestly I used the word because I couldn’t remember the dates lol. Thanks
@@kjvail No problem mate :)
I think much (not all, but very much) metallheads have no Problem to hear classical music and really enjoying this. I am not sure, if something like this is possible at a rap gig ^^
The courtsey at the end pure class from floor
I had a conversation akin to this with one of my students recently. He understood (as a result of taking a "music appreciation" class) that most metal musicians are highly trained or practiced, and that metal is known for high levels of complexity, but he still thought it was largely just loud and angry. I explained that while some subgenres are angry and loud (here's looking at you, Blackened Death Metal), the broad category of music that is Metal has a lot of really beautiful and intricate subgenres too, some of which include orchestral backing and classical-level intricate compositions. I told him there was even a full subgenre that was fully devoted to the merging of Metal and Classical music. He doubted those two things could even work together, so I showed him Ghost Love Score (album version, so it was Tarja singing) as an example of Symphonic Metal.
His response:
"It shouldn't work, but it works! Wow. It really works."
He was shocked that Metal really isn't just loud noise. Showed him bits of Epica and Within Temptation as well. Blew his mind.
Show him Metallica's S&M performances too. Sounds amazing
Man don't sleep at this concert. Many reactors make the mistake to watch only the performances where Floor takes part and then forget about the concert and even Epica. Retrospect is the perfect mix between metal and live orchestra (even better than S & M) and Epica slays it in many songs. Chasing the Dragon, Martyr of the Free World, Design your Universe, and the old and underrated The Phantom Agony are worthy of watching.
Oh, no worries there. I just go with recommendations first. More will be done. Floor was just the perfect bonus ;)
Studies revealed that metalheads and people listening to classical music share a lot in common: interest in the performer and music, dedication, joy of going to concerts, etc.
I love metal and classical music/opera very much. And when you combine big orchestra, big choir and pure metal than you get the best symphonic metal band on earth named "Epica"! Well in my humble opinion they are the best but I respect that other people find Nightwish better, its a matter of taste, but I love Nightwish too.
@@fritsyt2090 Both are great. Nowadays I tend more to Epica. They got more... oompfff 😉 But there are a lot of great symphonic metal bands out there: Ex Libris, Stream of Passion, Ancient Bards, Kamelot, MaYaN, etc. But Epica are really great and such nice people, as well as MaYaN. We had the chance to play with them and they were the nicest people, you can’t imagine.
If you hired such a great orchestra you don't waste it. You're right, a few seconds of those strings was enough to set the pained dramatic mood. So good.
Simone was 3 mos pregnant so this hymn to a mother's agony was poignant. Blessing really..
Such a beautiful song from our metal queens 🤩 Loved it 👍. And as they say: don’t judge a book by its cover, its whats inside that matters 😀😀
Amen!
Thank you for yet another excellent reaction kind sir.
As a rocker (I'm old(50), and that's what we called us when I was growing up 😂), I've always found the rock/metal community one of the most warm, loving and accepting communities out there.
Love and light to you and yours from the UK 💜
Liked the reaction and thank you for also adding subtitels and the translation! Appreciated that.
You are most welcome. Makes sense to want to know what they are actually singing right :P
@@VikingReacts It's latin and I don't understand all, but as an italian speaking something yes. And let me tell, the announciation of Floor is really impressive, extremely clear. You can understand her much easier than a lot of well trained opera singers, thats more evident in her "O mio babbino caro", rarely I understood the words so clearly, even when the singer was Italian.
I like the video of Floor singing O mio babbino caro with Revamp at a concert.
Agreed a 100% with everything you said! This is just beautiful and teaches a few lessons to all of those that misjudged us!
This is so beautiful ❤️ react to some Epica balads, i recommend: Rivers, Tides Of Times and Once Upon A Nightmare!!!!!
Did see how the audience react? It’s all about respect. BTW these goddesses deserve a full orchestra behind. You did a great respectfully reaction, thanks
We can only imagine both Floor and Simone being featured in Bach's "Mass in B Minor" before we all expire!
I was in a lot of Open Airs and rock and metal concerts in my life, some of them really huge, and I never had a problem, never, only a lot of fun with amazing people never seen before. Metalheads are great people who knows how having fun and who like music.
We have a stigma? Yes, but who cares, we know who we are.
And this is not a kind of music most of us will pay a ticket for, or maybe not for 2 hours, but we can appreciate it, because we love good music...and with these 2 angels, come on.
Just subscribed and I've been loving Nightwish, Epica, Wintersun reactions...keep them up!
Those 2 together are lovely, this concert as a whole is amazing, just as NW's Wacken 2013
Very nice thoughts in the end, classical music is just the metal music of the previous centuries
Epica- design your universe-retrospect show (listen until the end)
Epica-unleashed-retrospect
Metal Heads are not always pure "METAL! As a metal guitarist I find "Classical" music to be highly influential! I generally dislike opera, as a format, but give me great singers like Floor and Simone.... I am all in!
I believe the most profound of your videos. There really are no words.
I knew you would get around to it 👍👍
The best example that metal and classical music can coexist and that classical music is the source of all contemporary music. That is, two great vocalists and a crowd of metalheads listening to them. 🥰🥰
Plenty to enjoy here
Yes, nothing to add ;)
Wow, great Reaction from Stabat mater Dolorosa. What i like very much, you take Floor, Simone and the Orchestra in a Big screen. 🤗🤗😊Respect for this ,sorry forget, Floor performend this with her former Band ReVamp. Uh, you are from Brabant, like Floor. 🤗
As long as the viewer can see my reaction... good enough ;). The main subject is the music and they deserve the spotlight! Glad you approve! And yes, but now I am in the Amsterdam region of our little country
@@VikingReacts 😊👍🤗 Amsterdam is cool, i swear you🤔😇😇
@@ralfmeyer9086 lol, I know. I've been here for 11 years now ;)
@@VikingReacts 🤣🤗😇 after this f...king Pandemic time. ,i visit this wonderfull down again..
the chills are real with this one. cant wait!
post watching edit: everything that came out of your mouth i agree with fully. cant wait for the next one!
That is what happens when one speaks from the heart I guess ;)
Well... go to a pop, rock, electronic, techno or what ever festival and ask the people who likes to listen to classical music... The ask the same question at a metal festival. You will be surprised.
Stay safe
Dirk
Fantastic reaction and insight. Totally agree on the metalhead stereotype. No one who looks at me believes I listen to metal. They also don't think it's ever melodic or that these performers can actually SING. Also, now that I've seen the English translation I will want to cry even more when I hear it.
I wwould love to know what Floor pointed out in the crowd when she was introduced...."Ohh, look at THAT!"...anyone have any idea?
I consider myself a headbanger. I've listened to metal all my life, and played bass in local metal bands for about 20 years. But I love many other styles of music as well. I've fairly open minded where music is concerned. Basically if music is performed well, I'll like it.
And that... was exactly my point :)
I love when he translates for us haha, thanks man!!
Next time Unleash the Archers gets to play they may well do Verdi "Brindisi" by popular demand.
Classical, opera, symphonic metal is basically one thing, from the metal fans POV.
I get the opposite response when they look at me they are surprised I love Nightwish and Epica (metal). I am a goody-goody who knows good music and talent. I'm classically trained pianist and singer.
Its Epic!!
Beautiful ☺️
💜
Beautiful reaction.
OMG so haunting beautiful.... great reaction, really enjoyed this one!
You should check out Peter Hollens and tim Foust singing misty mountains.
And why stop there. Simone went all Disney on them to with Twin Flames.
Recommend the next song after this one. Epica - Twin flames retrospect
Our angel Simone 😍
@@fritsyt2090 Princess Simone :)
@@cancelled_user Goddess Simone ❤
@@fritsyt2090 Yeah, she's both :)
Yesss
Lovebites opened a song with over two minutes of Chopin piano etude. From the guitarist.
That band is over the top genius.
Just to think they were flat mates ! Imagine the singing while washing up 😂
Yup! as you said ;o)
I get the stigma too, I listen to opera and to heavy metal, people say that music is just screaming, but it's never true, they hear the screaming, we hear the meaning!
Not a Christian, but still a beautiful performance, very enjoyable!
Skål brother
See, you get it as well :). I was sure it wasn't just me who felt this! Skål!
Dude, do yourself a favour and just watch the whole 2 hour show. Thanks for reaction. Devine Conspiracy is brilliant. The respect of the crowd is spot on \m/
Im curius how it would sound if they did some parts of the Mattäus Passion
Thanks
Thanks for the translation!
It's my pleasure! Helps me understand as well ;)
Well said :)
Glad you agree :)
That's the whole stigma for ya unfortunately.. :( When people hear the genre 'Metal', they think they know what it sounds like and looks like; agressive long haired men making noise.. They have no idea how many sub-genres there are and what many metal singers are capable of.. It's very sad. I too, like I've stated in previous comments on your video's, did not really know what to expect untill a high school friend of mine (many years ago) introduced me to Within Temptation. I loved it and (unfortunately) only years later really discovered Nightwish. And dang what a rabbit hole. What a wonderful, deep, fantastical, beautiful and versitile rabbit hole at that!
I am not sure how that would work in this country. I think there should be more for us over here. More rock/metal bars and venues for example. And to be fair... i would love a music station the way MTV used to be. But rock/metal themed. Educate them kids!!
All in all... I am happy you liked what I said and did in the video! I've said these things a million times...but never in a video ;)
@@VikingReacts Those sound like good ideas. More bars, venues and festivals. And indeed a music station with rock/metal. Stubru from Belgium plays very versatile songs. Metal/rock included^^
Yes! Spread awareness to the new generation. If I ever will get children, I sure will introduce them to this genre and show them just how versatile and talanted they are :3 Then they'll decide whether it's to their taste or not^^
It was cool you spoke your mind on here indeed :) I did really like it and agreed to it^^
You just perfectly explained why Floor isn't more well known in the Netherlands.
@@vladimirastero6537 try removing the stick from your ass. your opinion isn't welcome nor is it wanted, we get it you have a raging hard-on for epica and are used to seeing people saying how amazing nightwish is, well there's a reason you see it so often. just accept people have a different opinion to you and move on, because making comments like the ones you just made make you look pathetic and whiny.
@@andoobs2 thank you!
🤘😁👍
Ga jij toevallig ook naar Epica samen met Apocaliptica? Ik ga, beide bands zijn geweldig, vind ik. Ik vind je reacties leuk. Over het stigma gesproken: Ik zie er totaal niet metal uit, toch is dat mijn favoriete muziek. Mensen verwachten afgaande op mijn uiterlijk dat ik meer van pop/middelmatige muziek houd. Ik hou van veel muziek naast metal. Jazz, blues, klassiek, dance, hip hop, happy hardcore. Ik vind het vreselijk als mensen vooroordelen hebben op basis van uiterlijk. Ik moet wel bekennen, ik voel mij als vrouw wel het veiligst bij metal concerten of festivals, nooit gezeik. Overweeg ook steeds vaker om een escorte naar mijn auto te vragen als ik alleen naar een concert ga, voel mij in b.v. Amsterdam niet altijd veilig als ik alleen over straat loop.
Floor zei ten tijde van Beste Zangers dat er naast Nightwish ook goede Nederlandse symfonische metalbands zijn zoals Epica en Delain. Nou bedankt Floor dat je dat zei, ik kende Delain al maar had nog nooit wat van Epica beluisterd. Maar zie nu Epica is mijn meest favoriete band geworden! O ja en Floor is mijn meest favoriete zangeres samen met Simone en Fabienne Erni van Eluveitie (folk metal band uit Zwitserland en samen met Epica mijn meest favoriete band). Dus ik zou ook aanbevelen om eens op Eluveitie - Rebirth (OFFICIAL VIDEO) te reageren en natuurlijk meer Epica 🤘🏻 ik ben geabonneerd op je kanaal!
Zo mooi😍
Helemaal mee eens :)
Simone was pregnant maybe 3 months
I know actually. I noticed that whilst reacting to Sancta Terra. Cool right, just standing there, glowing with the joy of new life and still slaying it in the best way possible!
@@VikingReacts and about amazing pregnant ladies, you should like this:

And they say our music is satanic😑
Think it becomes even clearer why Symphonic Metal as a genre is shunned by Americans, they can't handle the contrast and haven't got a clue how to react.
Good thing I'm not american :p
