The guitarist who yelled "Floor Jansen" at the end is Mark Jansen (no relation). They were in the band After Forever together. He left and formed Epica, and Floor formed Revamp!

[@Immortall1408]

When After Forever was disbanded in 2009 she founded ReVamp.

[@heathervontater5726]

Consign to Oblivion live at the Zenith Theater in Paris! One of the best live Epica songs quality-wise!

[@andrewludwig9251]

Floor and Simone are really good friends and is shows on stage!

[@Immortall1408]

and off the stage - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpvZiaJrfLeprqs

[@Immortall1408]

and this is what they were rehearsing for: Revamp (with Simone Simons) : Sweet Curse, live @ MFVF 8 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp68q39_d5uCoLc

[@Immortall1408]

Both Simone and Floor went through some training in classical signing, but Simone´s vocal training was more focused on it than Floor´s, which will become more apparent with more exposure to their singing. Both women are also great in going from chest voice to head voice and then in the opposite direction, seamlessly. They often mix them, as well. Floor´s mixes gravitate more to chestiness, while Simone´s are more heady. One of Simone´s vocal coaches was Amanda Somerville, a very good metal vocalist in her own regard (Trillium, Avantasia, Kiske/Sommerville) , who also toured with Epica as a stand-in for Simone for a few weeks, while Simone was fighting against some nasty throat infection. As for suggestions: Epica - Kingdom of Heaven live (a long one) Epica - Unleashed at Retrospect live (a short one) Epica - Storm the Sorrow (official video) Nightwish - 7 Days to the Wolves (Wembley 2015) Nightwish - Shudder Before the Beautiful (Tampere 2015) Nightwish - Alpenglow (Tampere or Wembley 2015) Nightwish - My Walden (Tampere 2015) And we can still look forward to the release of an official DVD from the Decades Tour, during which they performed older songs with two "new" members - Floor and Troy. If you want to delve into Floor´s past as a singer, you can try: ReVamp - Disdain live at Graspop - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnrUq4OOr814q9k or even further in the past --> After Forever - Dreamflight - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXOvnJhqr8qNq6s After Forever - Follow in the Cry - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH-9p5lmltqlbtE After Forever - Monolith of Doubt - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYXQfHuhht1na7c

[@casualcarolinafishing5835]

Good to see you back Mana. Glad you're feeling better. Floor & Simone are good friends from what I understand.

[@marielaoquendorodriguez670]

Epica- Consign To Oblivion live it’s a mustttttt!!!!! ❤️

[@Leeuw1962]

Welcome back! :-) And yes, they are amazing together!

[@EdZ3rD]

Blackbriar - Arms of the Ocean, dat is eentje die ik aanbeveel. ;) Blackbriar is ook een Nederlandse metal band, relatief nieuw ten opzichte van Epica en Nighwish etc., maar zeker het checken waard!

[@winchester7861]

You should react to Stabat mater dolorosa from the same show ! It's beautiful 😊😊

[@sjokken1]

Lets go 7 days to the wolves live at wembley Next 😁 thats a must see for you 🤘

[@oliphant2848]

Seconded!

[@charlotteheadrick5806]

You should check out some more Epica: Epica - Consign to Oblivion live at the Zenith Epica - Kingdom of heaven live Epica - Unchain Utopia official live Epica - Chasing the dragon live at retrospect.

[@ericgaudet4497]

Hi Mana sorry to hear you were not feeling well get well soon .Great reaction to Epica Sancta Terra with Floor Jansen . Simone Simons is a Amazing singer .🤘👏🎛

[@hazeman4755]

This has become my favorite Epica-song, thanks for reacting to it! Both Floor and Simone are wonderful and I love their voices together. Hopefully you'll get better soon!

[@Shiva-_-]

Mark Jansen, the guitar from Epica, used to have a band with floor called After Forever, you should definitely check it out. Mean while I think you should react to Epica - Sensorium!

[@proclaimed75]

Note that the 2 singers Simone and Floor are good friends too!

[@joethurman5555]

Very Nice!!! So Happy that you are feeling better!!!

[@winchester7861]

And get well soon ! Take care of yourself!

[@pauldoerwang4879]

SO great to see you BACK!!!!

[@harrybroaddus846]

I may be a Nightwish & Floor fan but damn this is good!

[@tasminoben686]

Lecker Video! Schön, das du wieder zurück bist! Your Dutch Akzent is stronger than at your last Video! Nice, i love it! Simone and Floor are best Friends, so i know. And i think, you can hear it. All the Best for your Health

[@sadithebest]

Nice reaction! Wish you a speedy recovery!

[@parrotheadlasvegas]

So glad you’re feeling better 😁 Welcome back and I’d recommend Chasing the Dragon 🐉 from Retrospect 😎

[@gh8447]

Queen, and the Siren, of Metal on one stage! Well you've already been given a list of EPICA to enjoy, so I'll just give you my best wishes for your health.

[@kevinmcgowan5371]

The big 3 bands of Symphonic Metal are Nightwish, Epica and Within Temptation. All are great and worth listening to. I hope you get your health issues sorted quickly!

[@najrenchelf2751]

Kevin McGowan, I think we should throw some Delain or Sirenia in there for good measure... 😊

[@ArvoR]

@@najrenchelf2751 And Xandria (Nightwish is from Finland, all the other symphonic metal bands mentioned here are from Netherlands, they hijacked whole genre )

[@kevinmcgowan5371]

@@najrenchelf2751 Naj, I am not familiar with Sirenia, I'll have to check them out. I also really like Delain, their music is great, but they haven't quite made it into the top group of bands. With luck they will given a little more exposure. They also haven't been as good live because they don't use MIDI files for the Symphonic tracks when on tour the way Nightwish, Epica and Within Temptation do, so their music is lacking something live. Hopefully they will change that as well.

[@najrenchelf2751]

Kevin McGowan, that’s why I put Sirenia in there - to let other people discover them. Consider it a recommendation for people who listen to the great 3! 😊

[@ArvoR]

@@kevinmcgowan5371 they definitely did it with last album

[@limeyfox]

Love Simone Simons. That performance is all the more stunning considering she was 5 months pregnant at the time! Hope you feel better and take care of yourself - good health is such an important part of living and being happy.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

We are quite lucky to have these ladies and bands in the Netherlands:) You can hear Floor coached Simone, they sang many hours together. Still Floor needs to dail down her volume, seen them live where she just blows everything away. She's just so talented it's not even funny lol

[@ferretmom66]

Glad you're feeling better, take care of yourself!

[@jaygonzales7198]

love this song they need to do a album together floor and simone

[@saadmoot961]

REACTS to KAMELOT ft. Simone Simons - The Haunting live at Norway (2006) if u want to hear here well ;)

[@treintje1001]

Maybe you also need to take a look at After Forever, Floor’s first band. Epica was founded by Mark Jansen who was the guitarist in After Forever. When he left the band Floor changed the musical direction of the band while Mark continued the old sound with Epica. So Epica sounds more or less like After Forever. If you like Epica you wil probably also like After Forever. Fine the song Monolyth of Doubt from the performance in 2002in Kopspijkers. Cheers!

[@oliphant2848]

Great reaction. I liked it! :) Simone has a slightly better lyrical soprano, I guess (and maybe a better voice for it) because that's what she does most of the time, besides some clear chest voice singing. However, she is not as powerful and versatile as Floor. Where Floor growls herself, Simone lets others growl. :) (Okay, that's the Epica concept.) Absolutely second Nightwish's 7 Days to the Wolves suggested here. Please do the Wembley version. You will meet people preferring the Barona version because of slightly better mix, but at Wembley Floor really lets go in terms of performance (warrior queen), and the crowd is really into it. Another (Dutch!) band/project you should check out is Ayreon by Mastermind Arjen Anthony Lucassen. I'm actually kind of surprised you haven't reacted to it yet. There are three good places to start: The Day That The World Breaks Down: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXfYfn6ap9-Dp7c Everybody Dies (live): kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3KkiaeLmbJqrqc Valley of the Queens (live): kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipPIk4Jrd7-cY6s Keep up the good reactions and good to have you back! Take care!

[@proclaimed75]

I don't know if you have heard of After Forever? If not you have to check especially Monolith of Doubt live at kopspijkers. It's 1 of 2 Floor's band before Nightwish. The song is from 2001 (this live performance is from 2002) but already back then she kicked ass. I am not a metalfan but can't help to fall in love with her voice. One of many people I think. Simone and Floor are both awesome,solo but also together. I think she sings higher in that song i recommended then she normally does. But she can sing opera. I heard Floor is a vocal teacher too. Bu I don't think she has time for that now. And After Forever is (I thought) the reason why the band Nightwish absolutely wanted Floor to be their new vocalist, which I can't blame them!

[@ianthompson5746]

We're all thinking of u Mana, hoping u get well very soon ! Luv your reaction to this beautiful song ! I totally agree with those other comments, if u would like to again listen to these 2 beautiful Dutch Ladies, try " Stabat Mater Dolorosa " ! Rest & take care. Cheers Aussie Ian.

[@arnaldotanta3630]

simone was 3 months pregnant at the time of this show.

[@xen0bia]

The 2 beautiful Goddesses of the Netherlands!! Is it really any surprise at all that they are best friends? BTW, Simone Simons was a few months pregnant at the time of that show, which really demonstrates her stellar capabilities even when dealing with a shorter breath, pressure on the diaphragm, etc., she still pulls it off spectacularly.

[@yeisonpretel7506]

Great reaction , please more Epica The Essence of silence (live) Unchain utopia (live hellfest) Consing to Oblivion (live Zenith) Desing your universe (live) Cry for the moon Feint

[@chrisvonsande7173]

I figured that would be a good warm up request to get you to check out Epica. Floor & Simmone doing a duet is an exceptional treat.

[@isaquesantos8879]

The first albuns of epica are monsters, listen! After forever too.

[@arashblacky6459]

Great reaction 🖤 check out also Consing to Oblivion live retrospect 😉 🖤🤘🤘

[@rolfschonmuller8484]

it's just a fact, the best metal singers come from the Netherlands: Floor Jansen, Sharon den Adel, Simone Simons

[@wazzalord3]

I just saw this pop up jn the nightwish community and will watch it later but... Ignore everyone screaming consign to oblivion and listen to ‘Kingdom of heaven live’ And if you dont mind listening to album tracks... Please... for the love of god... Please react to the album version of ‘Tides of Times’ by Epica... and prepare some tissues

[@Jilhoa1]

This!

[@fritsyt2090]

Consign to Oblivion Live at the Zenith is just a Masterpiece!!! 🤘🏻

[@damienmaynard8892]

Simone and Floor = Gabrielle and Xena? Mark Jansen in Epica - not related to Floor. More Epica? "Consign to Oblivion"? "Chasing the Dragon"(from this same show?) Love your accent!! - If I haven't told you before. Get well soon! Dank U Wel!

[@kujika]

I´m a choir singer...classical though and sometimes gospel or pop. How I want to be in this concert's background choir... xD

[@jazzandmetal]

Liked cause Devin is your intro.

[@mix6809]

sad to hear about ur health, take care always...

[@geuseliohulk8661]

Maybe Epica is more death and Nightwish is power (sometimes thrash?).

The Poet and the Pendulum (live at wembley)zal je helemaal wegblazen! Floor is geweldig😍

[@richardaling5278]

En dit was in het Klokgebouw, Eindhoven:)

[@ronaldboers8061]

Klopt helemaal. Beide worden als symfonische metal gezien. Veel van hun muziek wordt geschreven en gecomponeerd door Mark Jansen die band lid was van After Forever samen met Floor. De teksten van Epica zijn ook van uitzonderlijk hoog niveau. Je zult bij hun ook zelden onzin teksten vinden zoals bij zoveel andere bands tegenwoordig. Hier 2 voorbeelden van "Cry for the moon" over het gedrag van de katholieke kerk bij het verdoezelen van al die misbruik zaken van zo'n 10/15 jaar geleden. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJCWnGB6eZuCppY "Feint" Dit lied gaat over de moord op Pim Fortuyn en de gevolgen voor de maatschappij. Verwoord in prachtige een ballad. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH-3knywash0eLs De opnames zijn van de legendarische "2 meter sessies" van Jan Douwe Kroeske. Hoewel er bij dit programma alleen gevestigde bands werden uitgenodigd waren hij en de producer zo onder de indruk van hun debuut album dat ze dus ook Epica hebben uitgenodigd. De hele uitzending is een genot om naar te luisteren. Het klopt trouwens inderdaad dat Simone een klassieke zang opleiding heeft gevolgd. Hier nog de link naar alle songs die toen zijn opgenomen. kzbin.info/www/bejne/faaui36KgpqXfpY

[@stephenchigwidden7504]

Call of Destiny by Xandria is worth listening to. I've been sick too. I slipped over in my local supermarket and split the top of my head open. I'm also diabetic and very aware of the need for a healthy liver. Its no joke you must follow doctor's orders. Iff youcan't go out drinking with your friends bad luck you need to find new and Heather ways to have fun. I hope you will take responsibility for yourself. The doctors cant do it for you. Good luck Manna.

[@Immortall1408]

Hello Mana. First of all, I wish you the best of luck with getting back to full health. ;-) It was already mentioned that Simone was three or four months pregnant during the show whose duration was around three hours. Epica was celebrating its 10th anniversary by this huge concert in 2013. That is the reason why they had a live orchestra and a choir there (+some other extras). They reportedly had to decrease the input volume on Floor´s microphone and increase it on Simone´s mic, because Simone was already quite tired, but they were still able to pull it off and another song, as well. Although, to be fair, Floor went even further in 2016. Watch here from 9 min 5 sec where "Yours is an Empty Hope" starts (World Tour - Shanghai, October 2016) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZKulXeZdtilfsk or even further in this clip in which Floor sings "O Holy Night" in Finnish in December 2016 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r56UiJZrmdKIj8U Both Floor and Simone are very dedicated performers and vocalists to say the least.

[@torstenbengtsson5998]

Wtf , I just love you nederlands-girls . I am speechless.

Reactions to epica: essence of silence, sense without sanity, quantum enigma, burn to a cinder, chasing the dragon, never enough

[@MrIranpaez]

Nightwish has a theatrical sound as epica goes to the orchestral side, at least initially, because the last album has almost nothing to do with the first album

Manna. Dit is echt een heel mooi nummer. Beetje minder extreem metal dan Nightwish and Epica. Ik vind ze eigenlijk beter.

[@janeverse4555]

Hallo Mnna. I see that you really like this type of music. Down here in the reactions I saw somebody mentioning the other famous dutch rock/metal band Within Temptation. This band has a great singer too with the name Sharon den Adel. They recorded a great song with Tarja Turunen (first singer of Nightwish). The song in duet is called Paradise/what about us. I think the best link for this song is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqqZfqOpebV-qtU You will enjoy this music very much I think.

@@charlotteheadrick5806They're my favourite band. I've tried requesting them to several reaction channels, but only one so far has reacted to them. It's a shame that not many people know who they are or have had the pleasure of hearing their music.

Simone simons more traind for the high vocals. I think thats nature. Simone can not be leveld even by floor. Its so high and so clear. And simone can never be that low as floor . So i realy think that they where both needed in this song only simone no only floor also.

I don't know much of Epica, really. I really listen to Cry for the Moon and this Sancta Terra, and is great. You should listen to Cry for the moon, the lyrics are very interesting. The only thing I don't like much of Epica are the growlings, too wild in my opinion and too much contrast with Simone fantastic voice. I understand that´s the idea, but I don't like growlings very much, I prefere strong but clear voices. Good reaction.
