Yes, people who say metal is only noise, they have not listened enough and what they´ve heard has been different genre.

[@anaacostamontes2090]

Hi, Anna here! Thank you guys for reacting to this beautiful song, I love it and I always cry when I listen to it so I am glad you guys enjoyed it as much as I do! Loved your reaction and I hope you also listen to Rise Again, a song from Apocalyptica that features Simone which is also chef kiss on vocals and music and Epica - Code of life for something more fun! Keep on rocking :D you are awesome!

[@wildhoney126]

I love these guys because they can be both epic and very heavy, and absolutely beautiful and magical.

[@nightgoblin29]

I agree.. Also I love the Apocalyptica song with Simone live version

[@user-si4fi1iw4x]

Once Upon a Nightmare { Omega Alive } is a must for Simone's voice

[@frank1963]

Thanks for your reaction. There is an a capella version of this song, which you probably will like .

[@cwes6404]

So beautiful crying my eyes out so emotioneel. Incredibly band.

[@Divide_et_lmpera]

Do you know other Epica songs?

[@watchtheskies]

Hi MerchantOfAlba, here is another beautiful song from EPICA on yt channel LuBazán EPICA - Tides Of Time

[@greggkonitski743]

Great choice Anna! love this song.

[@DeepeningTheListening]

My favourite Epica song, it gives me chills all over.

[@Dann66123]

Next Epica song - Chasing the dragon . . . Beautiful song Live retrospect show 2013

[@PureMetalHolocaust]

Simone Simons (Epica), Anneke van Giersbergen (former The Gathering) & Floor Jansen (Nightwish) The three of them from The Netherlands...Awesome vocals!!! Cheers from the Southernmost place on Earth!!!

[@johnnybegood7]

So right...so right! Cheers from Greece!❤

[@user-lo1zc7gr1d]

Beautiful, love your reactions you are both such beautiful people

[@andreaswennberg9542]

Love this song, one of my favorite slower songs by Epica. You should give Apocalyptica - rise again (FT Simone Simons) a try, another amazing song like this one. (Might be some copy right problems with reacting to that one)

[@Tarkus_]

This is my favorite performance of theirs. Absolutely gorgeous!

[@mikedown3219]

You are correct about the diversity of metal music and Epica are more diverse than most. Well worth checking out some of their acoustic stuff which is very innovative. Here is a 3 song set from Pink Pop Festival in 2014… kzbin.info/www/bejne/enqad2SDoL1gsMksi=GO5zU0Rmbd-EMkn8

[@annie.983]

Cuando escucho a Simone cantar se me hace un nudo en la garganta, cuando escucho a Apocalyptica también,y con los dos juntos me hicieron llorar,es una sensación increíble.

[@LDBHX]

Epica is always pure Epicness 💞 🔥💜🤘🎧🤘💜🔥 Simone never disappoints 🔥

[@jonathanratliff4780]

I am a fan big time of symphonic metal and I’m grateful to many other very good symphonic metal bands like Therion, Delain, Nightwish, within temptation, Leaves’ Eyes and others that were my gateway up to the incredible and already legendary Epica!! fantastic reaction you both are beautiful souls I love your channel!

[@redguern]

Yes, metal is the best and makes the best ballads. The a capella version of this song is mind blowing. I believe this song is the hairy bass player, Rob's song, although they all have some input. So yes, metal is all noise and screaming 😂

[@randalljones4370]

When I go out to film the aurora again tonight, I must remember to have this song in my mind.

[@blue17eyes]

I love your reactions guys!

[@wimvank.7463]

Hello guys, there is an a capella version of this song, which you surely will like to hear. This is together witch a close harmony group. Stunning!

[@danielniros]

such a beautiful performance

[@shadegate6660]

Simone is incredible. Can we also get a shout out to the sound engineers / Mixers / Audio Technicians, whoever they are, that kept all of the different elements of this track so beautifully balanced (to my untrained ear anyway).

[@Divide_et_lmpera]

For one of the best vocals by Simone, try this: Apocalyptica & Epica - Rise Again (Official Video)

[@jonathanratliff4780]

Absolutely yes! Chills so beautiful!! 🤘🏻

[@antoniocarlin5026]

You need react to Kamelot the band who got an album called "Epica" and Epica took the name from him.

[@henkfranken927]

Such a beautiful song... great reaction you two!! I know several different versions of this song; the album version, a 'normal live' version, an a capella version (live at Tilburg), a live version in Chile and this one (live in Amsterdam)... they all are really great to listen to. And I agree about people saying 'metal is nothing more than loud noise...' People that think that way don't listen to music well. A lot of metal bands put so much deeper meanings and feelings in their lyrics most bands never think about. And on musical level they are really high standard. ... about good music. Did you ever heard of the band Blackbriar. You should for sure listen to them. The songs 'This Mortal Remains', 'Preserved Roses', Weakness and Lust' and 'The Séance' are just a few really great song of theirs (they have a lot more)... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nou4oJyHfs5kmdUsi=rSrvrAwyxWN2Tmzl kzbin.info/www/bejne/bIeWg5-fqqmVkK8si=hTuZfUZDkbqxnF7y kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpSxdHybrLybeNUsi=-6MivvaYNax-5dhN Enjoy!!! 😊😊🙂

[@henkraadmaar4072]

iT WAS EVEN BETTER WHEN I WAS THERE!! :)

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

did ypu hear 'pnce upon a nightmare' from omega alive? it is insanely good, also a ballad from them.

[@diedzjeeoudshoorn7726]

Yes, Simone is on that same epic level, the highest achievable as a singer, as is Floor and Anneke. The premier league. Those three let you experience a "China syndrome". With other words, a total melt down.... By the way, Simone is indeed the dark angel in the video from Ayreon called "Daniels descent into Transitus".

[@cwes6404]

I'am so agree with you. The 3 best singers.

[@VeljkoNikolic-is5px]

floor and Anneke are nothing compared to Tarja, Simone Simons.

[@VeljkoNikolic-is5px]

I don't agree. Accept Simone Simons, then Anneke and floor is not important at all.

[@diedzjeeoudshoorn7726]

@@VeljkoNikolic-is5px It is not a contest. I appreciate al those ladies

[@erickvermeulen9734]

Well, back in the days Simone had some voice teaching by her friend Floor Jansen.

[@DerHerr-ni2wr]

🤘

[@Markrealguy51]

Though,I’m from the 50’s and 60’s I think you would find this 80’s song up your alley..the manhattans singing shining star

[@RockinCabby]

Hello Dominca and Andrey , do you now about the live version of THE DAY THE WORLD BREAKS DOWN by AYREON from last year(2023)??????????????

[@dougca7086]

You should react to Vincent by Home Free featuring Don McLean! they will blow you away! Also react to American Pie by Home Free featuring Don McLean which was recorded during covid!
