Epica Universal Death Squad Reaction by Songs and Thongs

[@MrSh0110]

Epica Kingdom of Heaven part 3 from Omega Alive. Just do it 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@fritsyt2090]

Whole Omega Alive is one huge highlight and masterpiece!!! The best show ever....okay okay okay Retrospect is on the same level for sure!

[@rnowak85]

Epica is another rabbit hole as deep as Nightwish. I recommend Kingdom of Heaven PT 1, PT2, PT3 be done as separate reactions. They are off three different albums and kind of stand alone. Highly recommend the Omega Live version of PT3. For some other recommendations, Design Your Universe and Chasing the Dragon from the Retrospect concert. Abyss of Time and Skelton Key music videos from Omega album. Last Unchain Utopia and Skelton Key from Omega Alive ( I know I mentioned Skelton Key twice but both versions are awesome and worth reacting to separately.

[@charlesfuller4363]

Yes...agreed...exactly what this says

[@doncoon3146]

Could not have said it better.

[@mihaipetcu3996]

I totally agree, well said. Pt.3 from Omega Alive is an amazing production.

[@fritsyt2090]

Dude it's SkelEton instead of Skelton 😅

[@ronaldbijvank757]

second that

[@fritsyt2090]

Epica is for me by far the best symphonic metal band on this planet! This band has everything what I need. Big choirs, big orchestra's in combination with pure metal and a really beautiful crystal clear voice from Simone and of course the amazing growls from Mark. Well also if it becomes to the metal they are just phenomenal with ballads, heavier stuff with death metal elements and everything in between! And you guys should react to some top notch productions from the stream they did earlier this year called Omega Alive. This show is recently released on bluray and dvd!

[@rolsen1304]

YES FINALLY MORE EPICA! Split Kingdom of Heaven into 3, they are three very different songs, and yes they are long but it's all pure gold. Number one is almost progressive melodic death metal, number two leans heavily on the symphonic side, while number 3 is... Melodic progressive symphonic death metal? lol

[@aegars]

you need to check out their latest stuff from omega alive, amazing songs, amazing performance

[@monolit73]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! Christmas song for you! Diana Ankudinova - What a Wonderful World The reaction bloggers have already called this cover the best performance of this legendary Louis Armstrong song! You have hardly heard a voice of such rare beauty in your life. Enjoy!

[@monolit73]

Diana Ankudinova What a Wonderful World kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYCkanmlbLx-jck At the moment, 9954 reactions to Diana (in my playlists) will help Diana get 10 thousand reactions for the New Year!!!

[@sunset5399]

Best congratulations! Diana is the best!

[@Dhara-In]

I support)) A unique voice and an amazing New Year's greetings with a jazz composition)

[@SergeyKhudushin]

Yes, Diana Ankudinova is a great vocalist.

[@johndreessen7335]

Good reaction. Still one of my favorites by Epica. Kingdom of heaven pt. 3 from “Omega Alive” is great to react to. Love them. Thank you for this reaction.

[@clivematthews5296]

Another great Dutch singer, on a par with Charlotte Wessels, Anneke van Giersbergen and Sharon den Adel. And friends with Floor Jansen.

[@ceciellepeters4696]

Dont forget Anouk another rockchick from The Netherlands with the song more than you deserve

[@carloscervantes8625]

EPICA!! My favourite band ever!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@watchtheskies]

Me too :)

[@rafaelsmerdoufranke6157]

Beside Epica and Nightwish, the third member of the holy trinity of symphonic metal is THERION, the inventors of the genre back in 1996... Please react to "Son of the Sun" (Gothic Live 2007) to see the most operatic side of symphonic metal (and the amazing Lori Lewis)... Also I recommend you another symphonic metal masterpiece, halfway between Epica and Nightwish: XANDRIA "Theater of Dimensions". Greetings from Spain

[@randalljones4370]

KOH in separate reactions = yes. plz (waitaminute... KOH = potassium hydroxide = a very useful reactive material, in chemistry... how completely appropriate !!) Lovely reaction, as usual. Very good to see you two up and running at full speed.

[@rolsen1304]

Alchemical metaphors in Epica lyrics? Would not surprise me;)

[@mwlvranken]

ahh finally some more Epica

[@Pamgiber]

Great reaction! Good to know you wanna do more EPICA. I've seen they live 3 times here in Brazil and the band interactions with each other and with the public is always amazing.

[@alanbrown7412]

Wow.guys..thank you for reacting to this track. Epica are a band that have been criminally under my radar..I will definitely have to check out more about this band. This was absolutely awesome. Looking forward to your next reaction. Take care. Peace and love from Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘☮️

[@samuelengle3773]

Kingdom of Heaven parts 1 and 3 are both have their own videos or you could do the fan man trifecta of all 3. But i will part 3 from the Omega Alive streamed performance is on a whole knew level. And im not going to ruin with spoilers

[@andreaswennberg9542]

Epica - kingdom of heaven pt3 (omega alive)! Really don't need to do them in order. 😀 The whole omega Alive show was Amazing!

[@balantic7226]

You are right , we metalheads not don't like the other music , but i would love that they also have Metal is a choice , and that we love that 😁

[@watchtheskies]

A lot of metal heads in England when I was younger also loved classical music, me included, still do :)

[@rolsen1304]

@@watchtheskies Same, metal and classical are two sides of the same coin.

[@cancelled_user]

@@watchtheskies And my English landlady likes musicals, opera and metal :) I introduced her to Nightwish and Epica. She said she likes Epica more.

[@watchtheskies]

Yes, 'Holy Shitballs' is the correct response to this video :)

[@wannabedane4046]

Great reaction guys, and greetings from Denmark. KOH part I, II & III in separate reactions, please. There is so much to unpack in one of them that trying to do them in one reaction might compromise the experience.

[@nightwishlover8913]

Great reaction! Epica's 2013 Retrospect 10th anniversary concert is basically their version of Nightwish's 2013 Wacken - Two of the best-recorded live concerts EVER! I suggest "Design your Universe", "Unchain Utopia" or "Unleashed".

[@2112666123]

Y’all might have to check out EPICA all day and plan it out !!! About 25! Songs

[@watchtheskies]

Hi Songs and Thongs, Universal Death Squad is from the album 'The Holographic Principle' so many great songs on this album, this is another of my favourites, EPICA - Beyond The Matrix (OFFICIAL VIDEO) kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5mqmJVneph7prM

[@deminybs]

🎶🥰🤟 easily one of my favorite bands great video guys!! minus the other music quietly in the background lol

[@jorgebrito8807]

Love your reaction Epica is just mindblowing 🤘🏻

[@arthurmcclain2267]

I like to hear some Dream Theater, they are so great to listen too!!!! Please!!!!You are so awesome 👌,I really like your show. Keep up with the great Bands and music!!!!

[@MooreCEJr]

Great reaction you two. Simone Simons, that lady has an incredible voice... Befriended Tarja of Nightwish and took from her style of singing in this operatic/symphonic metal... with that change... the rest is history.

[@Dmitriy88S]

wut

[@demoremda]

hiya nice reaction:), i recommend skeleton key from omega live, allready loved the studio version but this version is special

[@marionpoliquin5102]

Honestly, you should just go right away and react to Kingdom of Heaven part 3 (Omega Alive) and do the other songs later on.

[@PanDeSal.28]

I'm a simple person. I see Epica. I click ✨✨ To me definitely, Epica is the best. I love them so much. If you are familiar with anime attack on titan, they did official english covers of the anime series openings. It was like one of the best things they did. That so pls check it out. 🙏🏼

[@Hexen555]

Tight band!

[@christophschmedes5975]

Hey Herry and ShaLene a other cool lyrik Video is Epica s Beyond the Matrix

[@sonjaschweinsberger1637]

more Epica plz.......

[@robertroberts2296]

I would like to see kingdom of heaven all in 1 video if possible. That's the way I have it on my Playlist:D

[@MegaDog555]

my favs Sabaton Epica

[@watchtheskies]

Hi Songs and Thongs, re Kingdom of Heaven Part 1 you have 2 choices: the official music video which has perfect sound (btw not just a lyric video) EPICA - Kingdom Of Heaven (OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO) kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnfPmIdqmdOsas0 or live in Mexico, great performance but the sound quality is not so good Epica - Kingdom of Heaven (Live video) (Lyrics - English / Español | Subtitulado) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hneYZ3dvotefmc0 Part 2 only a lyric video for this one Epica - The Quantum Enigma (Lyrics) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqmUe6aPfJ2VbdU Part 3 live from their recent streaming concert, amazing performance EPICA - KINGDOM OF HEAVEN PT 3 - (ΩMEGA ALIVE) (OFFICIAL VIDEO) kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJWldImDeZ2Hn68

[@watchtheskies]

Just had a great Idea, for part 1, why not do a double feature? do the official music video first then the Live in Mexico video straight after? :)

[@cranboogie]

I suggest to make three separate videos to the KOH trilogy.

[@Percy92]

Split Kingdom of Heaven 1, 2 and 3 in 3 videos please! For Kingdom of Heaven part 3 I recommend the Omega Alive version. You also should react to Unchain Utopia, The Skeleton Key and Victims of Contingency from Omega Alive! :)

[@Dann66123]

🔥🔥

[@Nystromj1]

Epica's lyrics are some of the most thought provoking and relevant to today's world!

[@yinxed]

If Kigndom of heaven is too long just check the Pt.3 (OMEGALIVE) but read the lyrics of them all.

[@gtgtSSdde]

About Kingdom Of Heaven trilogy you can just make three separate videos. Here's link to the part no.1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hneYZ3dvotefmc0 . It's a mix of original studio track (which is important) and live footage from concert in Mexico with english and spanish subtitles (although you can hear the audience in some parts of the video) . The quality it's not premium because it was made by fans, but definitely is enough and probably is the best you can find for that specific song.

[@dac2007]

The lyric video from Design Your Universe remastered has cleaner sound, but the live one has something special, too bad the Omega Alive version is not available

[@dac2007]

For me the order doesn't matter that much for the Kingdom of Heaven series, you can start with the 3rd which they released from Omega Alive livestream KoH 1 has a good official lyric video or a decent fanmade live video, and the 2nd only the album version

[@2112666123]

Yes the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN LIVE IN MEXICO AND THEN THE OMEGA KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

[@EmanueleCorsi]

I like your thought about Epica being "quite marketable" to "normal people" than other metal bands, but I'm not so sure about it. There' a great melodic part and that could be good for everybody, there's the symphonic session - and here some could already wrinkle his nose - and finally there's growling, and that's definitely unacceptable to "normal people" 😅

[@TimoArula]

I am the only one who wants to watch "Terminator 2: Judgment day" now ....... Epica = Epic Nuff Said !!!

[@watchtheskies]

Skynet vibes for sure :)

[@2112666123]

Y’all about 6 years late on this song they have so many like this !!!!

[@rickardpersson9025]

You should react to Aldious and the song We are, with Maki Oyama.

[@rudidewitt8441]

Howzit guys

[@gamerandre8616]

Speel hom bra!! 🤟😁🤟

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

I would hold off on Kingdom of Heaven not due to the complexity but there are so many pieces you can see what Epica is about. I would go for a concert track 'Consign to Oblivion' Live at the Zenith - it should check all the boxes for you (and keep an eye on the keyboardist throughout the song.)

[@Dhara-In]

Please could you react to the amazing performance of young vocalist Diana Ankudinova with a cover - What a Wonderful World - Диана Анкудинова и Брендон Стоун с новогодним поздравлением. - (this video is from her official channel)

[@geertje75]

ironicly the 3 bands you mentioned are connected to eachother by marriage

[@2112666123]

Y’all barley scratch the surface on EPICA songs about 10 more like this cmon let’s catch up Wow

[@kajakvisser]

Epica is amazing, but there are more great Dutch metalbands. You should definitly check out "Dear Mother" With their debut album "Bulletproof". They are a new dutch metalband formed by ex-Delain guitarist Merel Bechtold and ex-Delain drummer Joey de Boer. They teamed up with David "Pear" Hruska as their vocalist. Its realy worthwhile! I recently found them and bought the album right away, they're incredible! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYamiGWZlq1jpM0

[@SunOfTheSun]

Do all KoH songs in separate reactions. React to Part 3 @ Omega Alive first

[@taphaeltube]

3 vids

[@garricksmalley1733]

As others have said KofH in 3 parts please. I do love Epica and your reactions are what I do: "I love this. + "Dang that is cool" and so forth. Could you please do Procession from nightwish. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYuloahsbNmViZI From new album Human ll Nature Also a different type of lyric video "Legacy" by Unleash the Archers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4jYfmx5oL5mi5o Thanks
