ROADIE REACTIONS | "Epidemia (Эпидемия) - Magic and Sword (Магия И Меч) (Live)"

[@epidemiaru]

hey dude, thanks for your review! just wish you used a bit more recent video/song. this one could be more closer to your musical taste, right? kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmeseXWOZamVb7M at least it is less typical power metal. maybe next time? ;-) take care, bro

[@TankTheTech]

I’ll check it out for sure!!! My dad REALLY liked this one (which is why I picked it), but it was good enough to make me want to see more! 🤘🤘🤘 Thank you!

@@TankTheTech Woah, that's the exact song I was talking about yesterday during the premiere. And then the band officially recommends it to You. So now You have no chance to avoid that reaction, haha.

@@TankTheTech This one is just great ballad for me and the best song for this band. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIC9XmWVlL2WeqM And some translation of text: lyricsaround.com/en/epidemiya/vsadnik_iz_lda/

[@olgahein4384]

@@TankTheTech I absolutely recommend this live performance too. Their current vocalist Evgeny has also some nice musical experience (you mentioned Dragonlance, the russians made a musical out of it that focusses on a certain black mage and his twin brother. And Evgeny played the black mage on stage. For the movie version they used different vocalists though).

Эльфийская рукопись - это шедевр! Каждая песня достойна внимания! И вторая часть Эльфийской рукописи тоже шедевральна! Мне посчастливилось побывать на выступлении Эпидемии, где они исполняли обе части. А CD с записями я заслушала до дыр Очень жаль, что вы сделали реакцию только на одно произведение из этой оперы. Там много достойных песен, в том числе очень лиричных

I'm so happy you introduced me to this band. After watching a few more of their live performances they remind me of Ayreon a bit with how many different vocalists are on stage, also insane production. Would definitely like to see more of this, but probably newer performances since shooting is way better in them.

[@ПавлоАнтоненко-ч7щ]

Должен сказать спасибо за хороший обзор. Детали очень важны! "Эльфийская рукопись" - это достаточно масштабный проект, и то, что ты указал людей из разных групп, которые поучаствовали - это хорошее решение. Даже если кому-то не нравится эта музыка,то количество людей в зале говорит само за себя

the man with a low voice is Deimos, he attacked the land of the elves Enya, the elven princess Alatiel sits in a cage, whom he wants to sacrifice. guys with blond hair are the hero Torvald and the half-elf Desmond, they want to save the princess) so the fact that Deimos 'solo is knocked out of the guys' song is normal) they are opponents)

The entire Elven Manuscript show is available on KZbin with English subs. The one you have watched seems to be from 2007, I haven't seen this one before. There is also one from 2005 that has a smaller stage and less production in general but it's a lot easier to see what's actually happening. I'm not very familiar with Russian Metal, but Elven Manuscript is just too good.

Sorry for my English, but... 1. It's very great, that u do reactions video with Russian group. Why? Because I don't see staff like this on the another similar channels.

If u really want to see another video by this group, please, check this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGSZhZ-vecuZoKs 3.

So apparently the whole concert/album is a fantasy story. Those are not some random people fighting. They each have a role to play in the story (they all have names, for example) so I’m guessing you have to watch the whole concert to figure out the story.

I'm actually a big power metal fan, but somehow I have never heard of them before either. But I feel like overall many russian bands have problems to become popular outside of Russia and maybe East Europe. Will definitely chek out more by them :) And your Dad really is awesome :)

[@combichristed]

So my best friend listens to trance/house music pretty much exclusively, I don't even think he can name a single metal band except maybe Metallica. One day he asked me for a CD to play in a car he just bought cause he had none, and I gave him the Elven Manuscript cause it was the least heavy album I had and also figured as he likes fantasy like LoTR he might like this. He learned the entire album by heart and that was the only CD he had in his car for years :D

Amazing reaction. Thank you, Tank.

[@gnhrvade11]

Hello, Tank. Epidemia, oh Epidemia. They are one of the most popular metal bands in Russia and post-USSR countries. For more people they became first step to rock and metal. I remember, when I was 16 - Elven Manuscript blow my mind. At this moments Epidemia made 4 metal-opera albums. 2 parts of Elven Manuscript and 2 parts of Treasures of Enia. And they usually made big shows every year and add more and more production. So, recommend you 2 songs. About Elf General and Evil dragon lady Storm kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5SYmHyQfJmtqq8 Second one is Bad guys song from Demon Mistress and her dragon Sky. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fniXqqaqm7VjkNk

Loved it! When the vocals started had kind of a Scorpions vibe and that’s meant as a compliment.

[@MadameChristie]

Ooh ooh if you want a metal opera, check out Equilibrio by Xystus. You can find the whole show on here. Simone from Epica is in the cast as is George Oosthoek from Orphanage. It's a full stage show with the band in the orchestra (the singer is part of the cast).

[@davidhastyjr2240]

Hey tank you ever listen to “harakiri first the sky”? Jus got into them last year and I’m hooked, they got a new album coming out next month and a couple songs n vids out for it now

[@fearknot61]

Tank! Love everything you're putting out here on your channel, really appreciate all of the insight you're providing on the gear and bands. Wondering if you could react to Demon Hunter or Astronoid, two underappreciated bands IMO. Keep headbanging!

[@Triskaan]

Good choice there ! Some cheese from time to time never hurts ! Oh and just a little in-passing reminder about Skalmold - Kvadning (live with the orchestra)... hey, it's been a while since I've asked for it, I can allow myself to do it once in a while ! :D As always, kuddos for all the work you're putting buddy ! :)

[@seamustheseamus9024]

This was pretty dope. This kind of metal lost its luster on me but at the same time, if these guys were performing near by I would make time to go see the show. It looked real cool with all the 3 second camera shots so I can only imagine it getting better when you are able to watch and take in everything at once. Music fit real well, too. Also Tank if/when you feel like getting your deathcore fix I highly reccomend: >>Brandon of Sacrifice- Animal

[@eisenmann_d]

I am surprised your father managed to find this band like at all. There are numerous awesome bans from CIS. You should definitely try other ones, I'm pretty sure you would find something to interest you. I, for example, rediscovered Ukrainian group Karna and really enjoying their album гуцул-метал. Eastern European rock and metal scene is a deep rabbit hole

the only other russian metal band i knew of before seeing this is illidiance which i found out about through their cover of breaking the habit (linkin park song) many wears ago, they rerecorded that cover and rereleased it not very long ago

It was actually Gibson Explorer Eric Clapton Cut historical series, 70s-style guitar, but pretty good for metal also.

For me not knowing the lyrics did make it hard to connect to the song at first but it did get fun. I on the other hand tend to listen mostly to power metal, it's what I like. Still always respect the honesty. A Russian band I like Illidiance. And if you want another power metal song in Finnish you can listen to Terasbetoni - Orjatar.

I´ve always wondered. Why do most Russian power metal bands sound like that? As in, the nearly identical lead voice? For context: I am Russian myself, I'm just really confused about the sheer similarity of voices between Russian metal bands.

[@andrewcarter1747]

It's the classic power metal sound, there are dozens of bands from around the world where the vocalists sound just like this.

[@TheNextDecade244]

@@andrewcarter1747 Thing is, I listen to a lot of Power Metal. It´s kind of my genre along with Symphonic Metal. And Russian Power Metal sounds even MORE similar than most of the generic power metal bands. As in, I usually can´t even tell the difference between the bands from sound alone due to how the voices sound nearly identical.

[@chupasaurus]
