Hi, 'Omega Alive' was their pandemic streaming show in the summer 2021, they recorded all of the live performances individually over 5 days, they had 5 different stage sets for each of those days, then it was all put together to make one incredible show
They asked Rob if he wanted a customized Dingwall named after him, but he is a humble guy and said he didn’t care that much so because he loves HELL BOY, they made it the way it is with a Hell Boy theme.
Yes you finally got to it. I suggested It several times. EPICA is awesome, they are such great musicians and Simone has such an incredible voice. I am so happy you liked it. Thank you for this reaction. I am not feeling so good a the moment but this helps a lot. 🫶🤘
always fun to see people watching this song for the first time! the bass player uses a dingwall bass, and coen on the keyboard plays a curved keyboard from company NuMotion special thing not many people use it, i think you are ready for EPICA - Universal Death Squad (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO)
Yes, Epica is playing in Amsterdam / North Holland on the 27th of jan. Buying me some tickets. First time seeing them live. Can you believe that? Apocalyptica is opener on that night. Soo, it's gonna be great.....
One of many amazing Epica songs. Then you have the amazing ballads like Chasing the Dragon and Rivers. Their newest single Sirens of Blood and Water is incredible too. (whole EP is great of course)
Hi, Coen's curvy keyboard is the 'Revo1 Curveboard' made by Canadian company Nu-Motion, the guitarists both play 7 strings, bass is 5 string, they all have that extra low B string, one of the reasons why their riffs sound so chunky!
Hi! I've seen all Nightwish reactions from you, also some others and i like them all! You did them all very well. I hear NW since '98 and i've seen them 3 times live, but not with Floor, they cancelled the conzert 2 times in the last 2 jears. But whenever they play this conzert here, i'm 100% there. After Nightwish is EPICA my 2nd favorite band, i really like them, specially Simone. I see them live in Dezember here in Austria where i live, can't wait for that conzert! If you have time look the whole EPICA - OMEGA ALIVE show, i buy the DVD for myself a half jear ago, it's an absolute masterpiece and i think you also would like it. I wish you only the best and send to you greetings from 🇦🇹Vienna! 🤘
Omega Alive is the 2021 virtual show. Recorded over like 5 days and streamed online all at once. Kingdom of Heaven parts 1,2,and 3, are on 3 different albums. Part 3 is on the newest album, Omega. At this show parts 1 and 3 were played back to back (both 13 1/2 minutes). You like the spinning keyboard, sometimes it is also on a track or wheels to move around the stage. I knew you'd get a kick out of Coen Janssen's portable keyboard, a commercially available REVO-1 Curveboard, made by a company called Nu-Motion in Montreal Canada. He has done some crowd surfing while playing, including at the 20th anniversary show in September.
Anyone ever notice how incredible and healthy Simone Simons hair is? Positively radiant! She is a Revlon girl for certain! (Yes I am the weirdo ignoring the spectacle of this video and looking at healthy, shiny, hair). 🤪
Within Temptation, a Dutch symphonic metal band has experimented with a rap artist in at least one fairly recent song. Even though I like rap as much as the man with the hat, I found it interesting how they fit the rap style into their usual type of music.
Epica is my favorite band (yes even more than Nightwish) and this is probably my favorite video of theirs. The video was from a virtual concert they did during COVID. All of their music tends to be "epic". We could see on your faces how you were pulled into the music. They envelop you in more than just music. Simone's voice, the virtuosity of the musicians, and the complexity of the music all lend to creating perfect symphonic metal. Design your Universe will be a great follow-up. Other must-see songs are Beyond the Matrix and The Skeleton Key. Thanks for doing this one!! If you are looking for some fun metal rap, watch Boom1! by Amaranthe. It has ZOMBIES!
Haha, "rap & roll". Agree w Crissy that the digg-o-meter would probably self-destruct. Nothing better than an epic anti-rap rant to introduce this Epica masterpiece! Also love how from around 20:00 we get two reactions simultaneously: one by Mouseman & Crissy, backed by another one from Tomakazi. Wonderful ships that pass in the night. Cheers!
Great reaction!. IMO this is Epica's magnus opus. I love their use of choruses in their music. Makes it even more epic. Bass is a Dingwall Hellboy Custom with graphics from the Hellboy graphic novel. Kingdom of Heaven Part 1 and Part have a very different feel to them. Part 1 is quite good and worth reacting to. Part 2 is ok but not one of my favorites and is not reacted to very often. Concur with Design Your Universe live from the Retrospect concert or Essence of Silence live from Brussels.
Hi guys! Do you want more instruments? React to The Phantom Agony (the extended version, not the remastered one) studio live version. Young and fresh EPICA, almost kids (Simonne 18yrs old)! Greetings from Greece!
Pretty epic (well, it is EPICa, right?). Arched keyboard. Pfff. Check out the round keyboard in Gloryhammer, Hootsforce. This seems to be about a search, but for what? Knowledge, spiritual fulfillment, eternity, unity, death? All of the above? I will have to reread/relisten a bunch to sort out what I feel right now. But these lines really hit me; Darkness dies in light / Embrace your final breath / Navigate beyond your death / Rise, perceive and do believe / That wisdom lies within you / All what's lost can be retrieved. And I absolutely love the final lines: The barriers will fall / May thy kingdom come. Wow, just wow. Awesome reaction. Stay safe, God bless, and keep rocking. I wonder if he was worried about playing a piano that is freaking on fire? Flashback to the Killer Jerry Lee (rip brother).
Epica has a lot of lyrics with spiritual and philosophical themes. Mark has a phd in psychology, Simone seems to be on a spiritual quest. The lyrics often try to find some balance between materialist science, psychology and the soul.
@@rolsen1304 Yeah, I just recently started listening to Epica and really like the lyrics, which is what I generally look for since I have no clue about music other than knowing what I like. But I am slowly learning.
Epica’s unofficial motto: more is MORE 🔥🔥🔥 This is one of Epica’s long progressive masterpieces. There are about 10 in this scale in their discography. Must listen at least 5 times to digest and get all the complexities and nuances.
Give this one a few more listens it’s has so much of what EPICA is about it took me about 5 times but WOW AN AMAZING SONG REMINDS ME OF THAT IRON MAIDEN 13 minute song 🎶
What has the dude in the back been smoking. He just keeps on talking even when the others are saying something. He just keeps on keepin' on. By the way if you are in for some symphonic metal combined with rap here is another Dutch band Witnin Temptation featuring Xzibit th-cam.com/video/awvqIi427_A/w-d-xo.html
🇫🇮 👍Thanks for entertaining me with your reaction to one of the best songs on Epica's latest 2021 studio album "Omega". Now you simply must react to the best song from that album with a twist: EPICA - Abyss Of Time (OFFICIAL ACOUSTIC VIDEO) th-cam.com/video/tpy-KdtLsZY/w-d-xo.html
“I’m going 11 and a half on the dig-o-meter” might be the best comment ever.
Rob plays a signature Dingwall bass. A company based in Canada.
You got that right!
Tom

That is impressive.
Rob van der Loo plays a custom designed Hellboy themed Dingwall bass based on the Dingwall D-Roc model. It has a custom Darkglass distortion circuit.
Love the wicked sound from a Dingwall. Ayreon used one in The Day the World Breaks Down and the bassist for Suite Clarity also uses one.
They asked Rob if he wanted a customized Dingwall named after him, but he is a humble guy and said he didn’t care that much so because he loves HELL BOY, they made it the way it is with a Hell Boy theme.
It is an awesome Bass! Thanks Chris.
Without a doubt. Thanks Alan!
Thanks Frank!

Definitely voting for Design Your Universe next. Make sure to do the Retrospect live version.
but look to the realy ending plz
I concur
I concur 😄
Oh yes! 😁
We concur.
Imagine Epica is a cult band before even having this song!
This is how epic they are.
Epic indeed
Hi, Coen's curvy keyboard is the 'Revo1 Curveboard' made by Canadian company Nu-Motion,
the guitarists both play 7 strings, bass is 5 string, they all have that extra low B string, one of the reasons why their riffs sound so chunky!

Simone has been a L'Oréal model for many years
Daily and frequent protein shakes, internally and externally, are the key to that kind of never fading purrfection.
Within Temptation, a Dutch symphonic metal band has experimented with a rap artist in at least one fairly recent song. Even though I like rap as much as the man with the hat, I found it interesting how they fit the rap style into their usual type of music.
Lol...yep
Epica, excellent song creativity and variety.
How did the circus chic's on the chandelier get the torches between their toes and light them between camera shots? Amazing!
That bass guitar was a Dingwall guitar and the arched keyboard is from a company called NUmotion.
Epica is my favorite band (yes even more than Nightwish) and this is probably my favorite video of theirs. The video was from a virtual concert they did during COVID.

I've always wished for a chandelier that would keep me warm.
Hi guys, I’d love you to react to Epica’s The skeleton Key from Omega (2021), greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱
design your universe has the stands with acoustic at beginning
The mic stands are Omega signs.
