EPICA - Unleashed (Live At The AFAS Live)

[@EpicaStats]

Simone's vocals are *cheff kiss *

[@Roman_137]

Indeed! She is a gift to humanity.

[@reptileride]

Simone's vocals have improved so much lately. She's amazing and so are the rest of the guys. Truly one of the best touring bands in the world right now, they have the best vibes 🖤

[@joyfulosity]

She definitely has!! I actually felt like this might have been her best performance ever, she was so good…!!

[@theartofheavymetal]

Amazing performance here!

[@Skillbox-tk6dw]

У неё всегда был прекрасный голос. Оперный. Ну а с возрастом у человека голос только ухудшается.

[@katerinavikings]

I love the old good Epica... Their new music is so and so....

[@what_the_hec7]

Would be great if they released Fools of Damnation, it's been a long time since a good quality version of that song was released

[@rolsen1304]

Hell yeah!!👍 🎉

[@mfversluis]

Oh yes, that would be awesome. For the big surprise of that evening and (besides this one and Design your Universe) the high point of this concert.

[@fritsyt2090]

This whole concert was from a whole another level!

[@RusselF013]

But i have a feeling that there's a live DVD being brewed right now. Let's hope that they'll include the Zenith 2017 clips too. *wishful thinking*

[@Roman_137]

Yeah! 🤘 Best symphonic metal band in the world. 🤘 I love Simone, I love Epica! 🧡

[@jonathanratliff4780]

THE BEST Yes!! 🤘🤘😎

[@fritsyt2090]

Reign supreme in the symphonic metal scene 🔥🤘🏻

[@josu-darkraven1481]

One of the best yes but not the best there are other bands at the same level and even older than this incredible band.🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎸🎸🎸🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@artsurf4951]

What is correct to say is : best band in the world !!

[@2112666123]

AMEN 🙏 THE TRUTH SEEN THEM 5 times WOW EVERY TIME !!!

[@rolsen1304]

I love how Simone adds little trills and twists to her live performances. Several here that are marked improvements on the studio version. She does one in Code Of Life live that's just straight up divine as well.

[@darkdreamerbk]

Simone's vocals sound particularly beautiful in this one. Godlike.

[@wilfried-d.fuxbed6202]

You can see the joy in their eyes and the fun they have together on stage 🤘🤘🤘

[@barbora.1578]

Wow this is intense... The song always gives me goose bumbs. It's my most favourite song ever! Thank you Epica 🖤

[@wildhoney126]

we are always happy about new live from Epica, but even more for those songs for which there were no official live yet 😁

[@Ivan-zo2zl]

There's the Retrospect version.

[@RodrigoCanchola]

And countless festivals footage

[@Sina.Abbaszadeh]

Yeah. Code of life would be amazing

[@lisgyldenhr4327]

Wow one of their best performances... you can really see how much they love to be on stage. And Simone, divine as always. Her voice contains so much colour and feelings. 🤘🫶🥰

[@Tigerufoeye]

There is something always mesmerising about his band. Everytime you see tham they are shining as supernova by positive energy, enjoying each show, smiling to each other. They work like avalance of happiness. I was lhappy to enjoy their show last year during Basifire Fest - to see Isaac and Coen in MoshPit surounded by metalheads. Live long and prosper EPICA - we all need you

[@liviazainea6230]

Epica has slowly become my fav band! Damn, I love them so much ❤

[@fritsyt2090]

Floor said back in the time (2019) in an interview that my country the Netherlands has such great metal bands like Epica and Delain, she suggested to dive into that so i did!!! After watching a reaction video to Sancta Terra feat. Floor, I started to dig into their discography, within two days they became my favourite band besides Eluveitie. 😅

[@lexburen5932]

@@fritsyt2090 within temptation is also a dutch band.

[@fritsyt2090]

@@lexburen5932 true, but she didn't mention Within Temptation. And i already knew WT, i liked them untill approx. 2010, almost all work later till now is not my really my thing. Too much towards mainstream, and sometimes it sounds more like symphonic rock. Of course they are very good in their own way, but most of their work is not really what gets me moving. Sharon jas a great voice though!

[@cibelecoelho]

Gente, que coisa mais linda! Epica fazendo jus ao nome! Belíssimo! Poucas bandas de sinfônico atualmente tem o poder de palco que o Epica tem. Arrepiada! Só orgulho!

[@juandiegovegaordonez7098]

What the hell was going on with Simone's voice for that show? It's sounding AMAZING, like in studio. Her mental preparation was evidently outstanding, maybe because she knew the concert was going to be recorded ❤

[@jfv5930]

Cela doit faire 15 ans que je n’avais pas écouté Epica… quelle erreur et quelle claque ! Je suis encore plus impressionné qu’à l’époque, merveilleux, fantastique, épique !!! Cela change des merdes à l’auto-tune actuelles !

[@ליהיצחר]

Epica is one of the legendary bands that sound better live than in their studio recordings🔥

Keep hiding All colors fading Defining Time coming for me Rescinding my inspiration Rescinding consciousness Back in the day, I can recall that My thoughts were unclouded and sage There was no black stain in the walls of my memories Now there's a haze pushing me sideways And leaving me nothing to gain Taking me back, locking me cold in disparity Where was I meant to be? I'm feeling lost in a dream Long for the day I can be myself When I'm free When my sun has set Release myself forever I have no regret To be free I'll exist again No more lost endeavors Nothing to contend When I'm free Color declines All that defines me Is falling away far behind Nothing to keep me with the time The here and now Where am I meant to be? I'm feeling lost in a dream Yearning again only to be myself When I'm free When my sun has set Release myself forever I have no regret To be free I'll exist again No more lost endeavors Nothing to contend When I'm free Time's just a concept (save me, near me, help me, hear me) And always the first thing to fade (no more heartache, no misery) Hiding in weakness(cure me, free me, help me, see me) Nothing we can ever evade (no more worry, no agony) Years are cruel, they break us (save me, near me, help me, hear me) Bringing on decay and despair (we despair) (no more heartache, no despairing) Awareness and perception (cure me, free me, help me, see me) Something we can never repair (no repair) (no more worry, no repairing) Freedom for me is all I'm really wanting, needing Give me power to break out I can't hold on for any longer My time has to come to an end it all No one to blame Fate's only random It's nothing we'll ever explain So it remains Where was I meant to be? I feel I'm lost in a dream Long for the day I can be myself (free) When will I be unleashed? It's not the way to be Yearning again only to be myself (unleash my consciousness) Free (cure me, free me, help me, see me) When my sun has set (no more worry, no more losing) Release myself forever (save me, near me, help me, hear me) I have no regret To be free (cure me, free me, help me, see me) I'll exist again (no more worry, no more losing) No more lost endeavors (save me, near me, help me, hear me) Nothing to contend When I'm free

[@gothicwizard8520]

02:23 I could dedicate my life just to that one change she did from the album

[@gedgemeister9618]

This is probably the best I've heard her voice. Just something about this performance on that night. I've followed them for a while, love the band, love the music, and of course Simone's voice is perfection. She is a modern day enigma and she keeps it that way.

[@Kyozanagi]

4:52 at this time , my soul was indeed "unleashed"

[@rolsen1304]

She pulls us into heaven for some seconds

[@AcinonyxJay]

WOW, Simone's voice is like liquid gold 🤤 Epica are so confident with their music and their live performances. It was such a treat to see them with Sabaton last year, can't wait until they come back to the U.S.!

[@Jairo_Popper]

I love this band & Simone Simons! 💗

[@labrosnikolopoulos2865]

Vocals....beauty.... talent......i love her

Year 21 of being a fan of this band. Seeing and earing them evolve, strengthen, learn and create. loved every lyric, every beat, every goosebump. See you guys at Graspop. And I will continue to lobby for you to have the main stage for an evening there, because more then anything, you deserve this.

I've only been hearing them, watching etc; for about 4yrs now and every time since I've been kicking my and saying why did I wait so long? I have been a symphonic metal fan for so long. I'm so embarrassed. Such powerful music, Simone with her siren of a voice. Next time I hear a band like this and I don't know about them is the day I turn in my metal card for destruction!🎼🤘🌹

Just stunning. The power in the way this song is performed shakes the ground. Epica and Leaves Eyes conceive, compose and perform symphonic metal at the highest level. They are the elite, the pinnacle, and dwell in unapproachable light. (Honorable mention for early Nightwish and Diabulus in Musica).
