it is all a matter of taste, but for me Epica long ago surpassed said other band by far. They are not even comparable at this stage, i like both though. Also seeing Arcana live two times already.. its so great to see the release now.
The sun is under Epica like never before and they work their butts off for their fans to which I really appreciate about them so much!!
Yes, it's a fact ❤
Dark passion play was the last great album that said band has produced. Since then we've been getting one good song perhaps per album if there's any... I don't care, fight me. Epica has been at the top for years now
@@vickypolychronou6215 you nailed it!!! 🤘🏻😎
Simone has reached the top of the league of the best. Heard the song live and it was incredible together with the choirs and the orchestra . Rob's bass is out of this world , I had already thought in Amsterdam .
Thanks for making my request a standalone reaction. Love Epica over “the other band” 😊 Great song. Did see it live twice, which was great. The new album is gonna be a killer-album. Thanks. ❤️
Love this song, still giving me new sounds to discover. 😄.
Saw this track live, was a highlight even though I had never heard it before. I feel Epica just get better and better, and I doubt they have peaked.
Epica ❤ they are on the top right now. I saw them in Amsterdam with orchestra and it was superb.
I've seen this live in Amsterdam with full orchestra en choir + a childrens choir . Fantastic song!
Yeah, me too, the album version doesnt give the song the credits it deserves!
Epica is just amazing, I have the chance to see them two times in Mexico City with their Symphonic Sinergy, mind blowing concerts 🤯🤯🤯
Look at the live version of this song with live symphony orchestra and choirs. It's from their Symphonic Synergy concert in Amsterdam.
You can say Nightwish, we know what you mean. Epica surpassed them a long time ago in my opinion.
Epica are the heaviest and the most symphonic. At this point they stand alone.
I would say, they are a bit different. Symphonic but though.
That other band is more like just nice cinematic music but Epica has been and always is the dark rather like Therion and a symphonic metal done proper. Plus given her perfect pitch (matched only by Tommy Karevick of Kamelot in my opinion), and beautiful timbre and such smooth Perfect chest to head voice transitions and vice versa Simone is queen to me!
True❤ I actually preffered WT and they were my no1 for ages..but Epica got under my skin and they are so good.
The principal difference between Epica and "that other band" is that the metal element it´s still a core part of their sound and they never let to sing someone with Troy Donockley´s voice (at least, not in a regular way). Thank you for your honest opinion.
You haven't given this song it's due worth until you've heard the live version with Orchestra and choir
the ending is of course gorgeous, without it this song wouldn't be so good
To me, Nightwhish was on theire high with theire Imaginaerum tour while Floor Jansen stood in. After that, they had some insane songs, but not in that frequenzy like earlier. Two bangers per LP is still good, but if I compare that to Epica i prefer second. Its just more metal and more symphony at the same time. Espacially since Marco left, the counterpart to Floor is missing in a way.
Epica for my taste the second after Nightwish, more over they are very far the second. They have some perfect songs, have fine voice, actualy Simon's soprano very delicate and beauty even than Floor's. But I can listen them 2-3 song per week and take break time for a month or two. Floor's Nightwish I can listen 24/7 . Because music of Nightwish and Floor's vocal are deep with sceral levels or tiers every time you can find some new aspects even in old songs,
For me NW reached their peak at EFMB, after that, expecially when Marko left, it really went down hill for me. Sure, H:N had some pretty good songs, but their latest album? I totally understand why they won't be touring with that. Don't get me wrong, I still adore Floor, but I feel Toumas has lost it a bit. Maybe it's the loss of Marko's influence, who was actually an old-school hair metal dude in the 80s? It's all gone too artsy, none of the new album's songs are bangers.
Epica has surpassed NW as the greatest band for me, as they manage to keep up their style with great consistency with great bangers and beautiful ballads. On top of that, both Mark and Simone have just gotten better in their respective vocals.
@@erwinmulder1338 Yeah thats pretty much my sentiment as well. Especially the artsy part is a good point. Maybe thats also the reason Im not longer able to listen to a whole concert of NW like in the old days.
Am I the only one that as soon as Harry starts with 'I suspect' or 'I hope' is like.... 'Oh noooo Harry, not this time'? Not this song, please!
Because every time he 'suspects' or 'hopes' the song is going in another direction. 🤦🏻♂
Now lucky us, Epica was not impressed and we hád heard nothing yet, but really: STOP DOING THAT!
Scared the 💩 outta me 🙄🤪
Keeping you on your toes Dutch lol
Can't say I'm a fan of the Tarot but this song rocks🤘
They did it live first and it's one of those that hooks you from the start
What is wrong with everyone? How childish to not even mention the name Nightwish. All bands evolve during their careers and while it may not be to everyone’s liking it is far better than standing still and becoming stale. I cannot separate Epica and Nightwish as my favourite bands and enjoy their musical journeys.
Would you all rather listen to mainstream pop with all its mind numbing blandness? Me neither so enjoy our favourite genre and artists and be grateful we are on this earth at the same time as them.
To me, especially in the last few years, Epica and Nightwish are two completely different bands and there’s absolutely no reason whatsoever to compare the two. I don’t have a clear favourite. When I listen to Epica, they pull me into their world and I feel at home right there. It’s perfect. But the minute I start listening to the new Nightwish I feel drawn into this other world that Tuomas created and I feel at ease. Both bands immerse me in the world they have managed to create and in which I can completely lose myself. One of these worlds is like a glimpse into a perfect dreamscape reminiscent of the vast forests and meandering rivers of the Amazon. The other world is of equal beauty and is located along endless colourful coral reefs where I can breathe freely and marvel at the riches of a world that hides beneath an infinite mirror of the deepest blue.

Agree. There is no battle between the bands or the musicians. They like and respect each other. Always the whining about who is good or bad ruins the atmosphere and does not resonate with the bands at all. It's a matter of taste.
*It's "ARCANA"..., just sayin'......good to watch a new reaction of you. Greetings from Bavaria and stay safe.* ⬅🎸🔥
🤘😎👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
🤘🤘
THERE IS A LIVE VERSION AND IT IS A BASS GUITAR
you like more general poppy sound .... well everyone to there own except we have 10000000000000 doing that already :)
🐕love me some epica
go for the live version
Video title typo: Arcana not Arcada. 😊
Thanks for noticing, we changed it!
Love this video. I see a number of comments about preferring Epica over “the other band.” My question is why choose one over another? Can’t you like both equally? I really get tired of this fan competition bullshit! Sure, you can prefer one band or song over another but it doesn’t make one “better” than the other. I feel they both have their offerings and are stylistically different. Just because they are placed in the same genre doesn’t make it this or that choice. People only limit themselves by making it a competition! Just my thoughts!
I agree with you that I like it when Simone sings less operatically but using it in key points!
The epicans are tired of nightwish fans tbh. If somebody said nightwish was the best metal band to me in person I’d punch them. Fuck that other band 👌
@@rainl7066😂😂😂
I've also taken the step to prefer Epica over "the other" band ;-)
not bad
Cual es la "otra banda"
🤘🤘
