The whole album is a masterpiece, but this song specially is a gem 🙏❤

[@deadtree1198]

Agreed!

[@josephgalvan3725]

Love my Epica !!

Hola Paula :v

[@campanula5258]

My favorite from Epica is Design your Universe.

[@CarlosZapo333]

Yes this is a gem, I can stop to listen this song every day. 🎼

[@zenman5910]

Never has there ever been or will ever be a band more deserving of the name Epica. Unquestionable masterpiece.

[@raist76]

Their discography has been brilliant from day 1.

[@Moonsunband]

“Design Your Universe” still one of the best Epica albums! 😍🤘

[@BirdsElopeWithTheSun09]

Second best after The Holographic Principle

[@unlivingsin5397]

MoonSun 😯😯 we love your music!

[@Fermion911]

Too few people mention The Phantom Agony. It's amazing. Especially for a debut album. It's probably my second most fav album after Design Your Universe :)

[@cancelled_user]

I think DYU is the best :)

[@heloisapagy9181]

one of my favs ❤

[@MIarCHAngEL_TTV]

All of Epica’s music is amazing, but this song right here is their singular masterpiece and trumps everything else in the symphonic metal genre. It isn’t even close.

[@dinav1477]

for me this song is the ghost love score of Epica, a total and epic masterpiece

[@wildfern5040]

ghost love score is of Nightwish (tarja) :) but yes nice song

[@dinav1477]

I was born in 67...

[@hawkai_4761]

I still remember how one or two days before the album’s premiere in the middle of October 2009 (probably between 14th and 16th) I went to the store, grabbed the first digibook copy that I saw and immediately went back to buy it, the whole trip to the store didn’t take longer than 5 minutes 😂 but the DYU album still is my favourite Epica longplay, and one of the most favourite albums overall ❤️

[@SignedWithBlood]

@@hawkai_4761 My copy is signed by the band members! And it is a great album. I really like the long songs they make too.

[@hawkai_4761]

SignedWithBlood mine is signed too! Heck, it was my first album ever signed after my first fan show ever :D so the nostalgia is really strong regarding DYU for me, also Simone had a golden pen with her back then and her „S” looks soooo significant on the cover when compared to guys’ autographs 😂

[@waelmargheni]

We can finally hear Simone's voice over the choir! I am loving this version and I am so excited about the rest of the album.

[@bluemorpho8230]

I started listening to Epica when I was 15 years old, when I barely knew about life. I remember having suicide thoughts, but somehow their songs, even if I didn´t understand them really well, made me feel like life was beautiful. I´m 23 now, always coming back to them

[@bielfalieri]

i started with 18 years... current with 28 years and is my favorite band

[@2st486]

ive had the opposite path XD only knew them by name, no idea what their music was like. i discovered the things they talk about on my own. i also got inspired by the holographic reality theory and quantum physic in general and started creating paintings about it, in the same period The Holographic Principle was released XD. heaing "beyond the matrix" for first time blew my mind because i was looking for other people who had such experiences for years but no dice. and i find it both amusing and kind of sad to think the lyrics are metaphores and allegories while its quite literal how things work down here :\

[@tellopes]

WOW, this remastered version highlights the vocals in the chorus so much more! Can't wait for the full remastered album.

[@KreshDraven6]

After all these years and this still one of their best songs...What a masterpiece

[@nextdistortion]

This is simply Epica's summit piece. This track alone deserves and justifies the whole album. An absolute magnum opus.

[@geordiejohnston9815]

Like it then tee-hee 1110

[@2st486]

"just" because it talks about how our realm actually work and our subconscious resonates with the info no matter what. then cnditioning kicks in and we experience cognitive dissonance. we feel extremely uncomfortable, and look for a distraction. daring to leap is scary for everyone

[@fakenius584]

This song justifies Symphonic Metal

[@edeneverly2573]

Masterpiece in the Epica library. One among so many. I can’t put into words how much Epica and their music means to me. It’s like it is connected to my soul and my mind and truly makes me feel connected, something I’ve so desperately needed in Times I’ve felt so incredibly lost. Then, of course, it blasts through my core and I can’t control the head banging bombastic explosion that’s like a drug. I swear this music is a high and a double hit at that with the soaring heavenly vocals and choral harmonies. I adore how they’ve come perfectly full circle with THP from this album. Cheers, Epica! Happy Ten DYU! So much love to you. Here’s to another ten and many more. ❤️

​@@Real_SkyRipper I doubt the line was meant literally. It seems metaphorical, a reference to conceits in quantum mechanics that suggest properties of a particle are vague until consciously observed. It's actually a clever philosophical interpretation of physics.

[@tarmotyyri6733]

This is a masterpiece musically & lyrically.

[@SimoneSlereth]

The best song of all time by Epica (Music, Lyrics and all)

[@what_the_hec7]

Having Kingdom of Heaven as a single might be one of the most unexpected things Epica has ever done, and a really nice surprise. Almost as shocking as having Design Your Universe and Martyr of the Free Word in acoustic versions

[@beldunkelheit]

You guys just gave us a video for Kingdom of Heaven, you're touring with Design Your Universe (my favorite album) and you're coming to my country with that tour. Sincerely, I'm crying. Thank you, Epica. Can't love you more, guys. 🖤

[@samuelsavard2186]

10:46 This solo gives chills everytime!! Incredible 🤘

[@FluffyFractalshard]

there is no band that packs as much existential truths in their songs as epica does... love you for that!!

[@Mossy-Rock]

This is absolutely stunning in its conceptual depth, its musical composition, its vocals... I become emotional when watching and listening to this video because it hits something very deep within my core. I also use the song during my self-guided visual meditations and it brings me peace. There's something about the merging of science, spirituality and heavy music that doesn't exist in other genres.

[@Tontonzarno]

The art of this clip is just A-MA-ZING. It brings this song (if that is possible) to another level. It's been said 1000 times before, but it really is a pure masterpiece ❤

[@Diamond_Fairy000]

Thanks Epica, you are EPIC. For sure you know that, I just came here to share my love and respect.

[@neckroteddy]

Love how the video goes from normal lyric video to actual footage of cientist to Simone to awesome visuals and so on. I love the song and whole album.

[@mordovian267]

The Epica band is an innovation in modern rock metal music. - the best combination of male growl and female vocals! Great song!

[@noiscambada7099]

Symphonic metal

[@ginox1x792]

Yeah ..... well, more than a decade ago this type of metal music with growls and lite vocals was categorised as "goth metal". Untill influential bands such as Nightwish and Epica infused it with classical/operette sounds. Then, it became symphonic. Or so Ive read...

[@bellum_7997]

@@ginox1x792 the origins of our actual form of gothic symphonic metal are back after second break of rock genre... if you remember punk rock that evolved on some path on goth rock after that influence of heavy metal born the true form of gothic metal but the thing is the gothic metal genre isn't a stand alone one once it apearead it quickly mixed with other genre or got modified and one modification was adding of symphony elements and there we go here we are

[@Aerked]

Such a masterpiece.... This is my second favorite song from this album. My first song that I listened to was "Resign to Surrender", from there I instantly loved Epica, look how much this band has come to today. And these "relics" are still powerful to hear. Can't wait for the concert at Costa Rica!!! 🇨🇷

[@lucasresck]

I think it's a consensus it's one of the bests songs of Epica. It had needed a video and here we are. Thank you! Now I'm waiting a live video...
