In all of the recent videos you can really see that Epica are at the top of their game right now. All of their performances seem absolutely effortless and they appear to be one hundred percent comfortable on stage. For someone who has followed them for many years this is so amazing to see.

[@MikeHame]

Yea I agree, I saw them at the Exit festival a few weeks ago. They were so relaxed, it was a fantastic performance. 🤘

[@s1mperadicator13]

even their stage designs, album documentaries, cinematographies both live and behind the scene footages, man, they're all top-notch!

[@Daantjuwh]

​@@MikeHameactually that show on Exit Festival was one of the best. I watched the livestream. I could feel the energy.

[@MikeHame]

@@Daantjuwh yeah true, it was my first time seeing them live. Best concert I ever saw.

[@Daantjuwh]

@@MikeHame i've seen them around 55 times now. 😂 You started with one of the best shows!

[@wildhoney126]

Size matters, guys, sorry 😆 4:09 right during the song we hear Simone laughing, it's so cute 😆 I'm glad that these moments with jokes and laughter weren't cut out ❤️

[@s1mperadicator13]

try to listen your HA HA Heart

[@wildhoney126]

@@s1mperadicator13 yes 😆😆😆

[@cancelled_user]

Yeah, that laughter caught me by surprise. 🙂 Btw, her voice is better here than in the Zenith version.

[@wildhoney126]

@@cancelled_user at the zenith it is also perfectly sung and the second chorus did not break off, as it does here 😁 in fact, I don’t find fault with such moments, it’s alive. They did not use autotune and fix such jambs, for which I respect them very much. just the general impression of the performance at the zenith - unrealistically epic. Vocals are only part of the performance.

[@davidgbetan]

@@cancelled_user es verdad

[@hansolo2121]

The spontanious laughter of Simone when Coen misstepped at 4:08 is so cute and real. She just couldn't help herself :) And her beautiful laugh is now captured forever in this moment in time. I love Epica. I love Simone. I love Epica with both my heart and brain.

[@khaleozacarias2908]

🤘🤘🤝🤝

[@isaacteli]

Funny because when I heard the song I thought this laughter was meant for the song. it fits the song perfectly.

[@ironsol92]

This was the last song I have hear played alive with my mom before she passes away. She was in love with Epica. I couldn't not laugh out loud when I see her enter the theater with a leather jacket and some eyeliner. We have a beautiful night

[@ironsol92]

This was 15 years ago. And since them, i saw Epica at least 5 times. They just evolve and evolve.

[@andersondias6587]

Meus sentimentos mais q historia triste e linda ao mesmo tempo

[@MissieK]

I honestly can't believe how this band keeps getting better each year. I thought the live at Zenith couldn't be topped but it could Simone's voice is just getting better each year. Arien still plays so clean that I can't help but always focus on him. He never misses. The rest just amazing. Rob's hair and beard are the 7th member for sure at this point.

[@cancelled_user]

Epica never disappoint. Love them forever. And yeah, Smoon soounds amazing here, just like in Unleashed at the AFAS.

[@thegigguy]

Yes in all the years been following/ watching them live ( well over 10 years ) their current live performances are a Magnum Opus in musicianship . I saw Epica live in Manchester UK on the Apocalyptica Tour . Truly amazing set . I took some live footage which you can watch on my KZbin channel.

[@DoingK]

the audience does dissappoint though, we dutch people are such a bad crowd. at the Zenith the audience is so much more active (like in many other countries aswell)

[@joppepeelen]

they dont :) zenith and retrospect are a bit above this.....

[@KeremcanBuyuktaskin]

The drummer is so tight that I had to search for him and just learned his name is Arien. Really brilliant drummer.

[@BrendonChase_2015]

Yet more proof of Simone's vocals getting better & then better still, year after year.. See you guys at Summer Breeze Open Air! 🤘

[@LigeiaNoire]

The production is indeed as good as Omega alive. Vocals are impeccable. Simone is, imo of course, the most complete singer of the genre. Drums out of this world. Epica is an example of a band that does not let their fans go hungry And the work is always so detailed and the quality never drops. There's new albums often, live albums every couple of years, concerts with orchestra, concerts with guests, collaborations with musicians, singers.... Whole album collaborations even! Joint tours. Acoustic performances, performances with saxophone, snakes, circus performers, choirs... You walk the walk and talk the talk. May many more years of success be ahead of you.

[@cancelled_user]

Right? Epica is the best musical discovery of my life, and Simone my number 1 female singer of all time. She definitely sounds better here than at the Zenith (2017). But damn, "Unleashed" live at the AFAS is even better. Her voice is really out of this world in that song. One of the most epic performances ever.

[@hernanzamora1943]

She was always very good, but this last years she has been improving a lot vocally, specially since that 'sabbatical' year in 2019 before starting with the DYU tour. From this year, my favorite performance 'vocally' from her is Exit Festival

[@MetalMarkus]

Simone is very good singer, but not the most complete!she has no very powerful belting, no growling...there is another dutch singer who has the full package! I think that her name is Floor!

[@LigeiaNoire]

@@cancelled_user She truly found her voice in the last 3 albums. As the band did as well.

[@LigeiaNoire]

@@hernanzamora1943 That's my only complaint... I wish it was a lesser played song to gain the spotlight.

[@ch_vky148]

This is kinda ridiculous in a good way how EPICA has risen above themselves within last years. Quality of performances, I mean stage, light, general design and style just... eehh.. I don't have right words) Guys you are literally on toppest top now, you are gorgeous! Thanks for your music🖤🤘🏻

I think it is a no brainer. They have not been spending all this money to film this and then only use it for KZbin videos.

[@s1mperadicator13]

@@ChrisEchoesBut they've done this to Live at Zenith videos. We really thought they're going to release a DVD, so we're kinda worried they're gonna decline to release one this time. Either way, can't wait for more live footage. It's about time for CODE OF LIFE to have an official video.

[@shenghanwang6342]

Great take of one of my Epica faves! The best thing about this video is it accentuates the band members' "everyone is playing with each other" wholistic dynamics on stage. This is the extremely unique thing I never noticed fully about Epica until I saw them live last year, and it put a huge smile on my face throughout the concert. Within this take the vibe is perfectly captured. Great job!
