THIS WAS INSANE! Epica Feat. Fleshgod Apocalypse "The Great Tribulation"

[@pestilence6957]

Fun fact: Mark Jansen from Epica sent Fleshgod Apocalypse two song ideas and asked them on which one they want to work on together. FA combined both and sent it back and then they worked from there. Awesome song!

[@seattanf2348]

Epica has an album/ep called The Alchemy Project where every song is a collaboration with other bands/artists.

Sirens of blood and water next :) simone, charlotte wessels and myrkur, all together, you know you need it.

[@paulriddle7818]

This!

[@noahreaver8375]

This song is a masssssssssssssssssterpiece

Symphonic Death Metal is the best genre. I will die on this (totally opinion) hill.

[@Lloocii]

Usually a bit too simplistic the composition for my tastes. But lots of great songs in the genre for sure and I like the drive Fleshgod adds to Epica's style here. This is a banger with great contrast. I'd suggest some Mechina if you like symphonic stuff. They're classified as industrial death metal but have some very symphonic elements and very cool storytelling. Cheers

this song is from the latest EP “The alchemy project”, where each song is a collaboration, I highly recommend you listen to it, it’s awesome, and the most interesting thing about this EP is that almost all the songs have a different sound and style, they really managed to surprise the fans, Epica erases all boundaries and goes all out, mixing different styles of heavy music. From Disney ballad and old prog rock to grindcore 😆 There are only 7 songs on this EP, but you will hear many musicians such as Charlotte Wessels (Delain), Tommy Karevik (Kamelot), Asim Searah (wintersun), Myrkur, the vocalist of Insonmium (I don’t remember the name), vocalist of Soilwork, guys from God Dethroned, powerwolf and others. One of the songs will have a great unexpected twist, it’s called “the final lullaby” 🎷 You won’t hear this anywhere else in the sympho metal genre, unfortunately, because few people are capable of such experiments (unfortunately 😩)

Well Said Wildhoney!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Honey! I guess we will have to listen to them all!

[@sagebooker]

Always answering the call for Epica ! ^^

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

ALWAYS!!!

[@Croz76]

This just makes me want a full album collab ... unless there is one that I'm not aware of. This was f'n cool!🤘🤘

[@jamesnelson1968]

I am a fan of symphonic metal and there are many great bands in the genre, but Epica is head and shoulders above all of the others in inventiveness and pushing the boundaries of the music. They seem to be fearless in terms of what they will try. Nightwish does this kind of thing too and I am a fan of that band, but nobody does it like Epica.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

agreed, I love epica

[@ZerilathImmortal]

That was sick the synthesis of these two is perfect

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Right! It was a perfect blend

[@LouisannaBall]

Epica being Epica. You would also enjoy The Final Lullaby from this same EP.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Ohhh looking it up!

[@gabrielkain1]

I can never get enough of the mix of cleans and growls. They always sound so good together. This was intense,just a punch in the face from the get-go. I enjoyed this all around. I hope your well Tommy.

[@wildhoney126]

It’s funny, but I suddenly realized that I can already distinguish between the growls of different vocalists; in this song I can clearly hear where the vocalist of Fleshgod apocalypse is growling, and where the vocalist of Epica is growling. For someone it will all sound the same and they will not understand that there is more than one person growling here, but I can hear it clearly 😁

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Much love my dude. This was so fun! I loved that you could tell each bands influence

[@draug7966]

This was brilliant, can't think of any other word to describe it. Also, now i'm imagining an Epica/Septicflesh collab, how bloody awesome wouldn't that be..., but i don't think the world is ready for it 😁

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I would die....I would fking die

[@cranboogie]

Great collaboration indeed! 🌀🌀🌀👍👍👍

[@Roller4x4]

Epic🤘🏻🔥💪🏻 Another great colab in the song "Fools parade" Also "kamelot" has awesome colaborations

[@S.E.Walker]

This might be my favorite Epica track. This is the soundtrack to some insane sci-fi kaiju space battle! Such a hypnotic combo of sounds!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

You said it best friend!

[@Lloocii]

Yea this was a great showcase of contrast adding to both sides for a greater whole.

[@robingelebal8447]

2 top bands on fire ! Must be a rollercoaster!

[@nuclear.musicaddict]

What you said in the end reminds me of something I read in a favourite book of mine: the first step is important, but the one after is the most important. Always the next step. I'm paraphrasing here, I don't have it on hand, but I hope it's understandable. Keep taking that next step, everyone. Also, Epica featuring Asim Searah and Niilo Sevänen - "The Miner". It's from the same collab EP and will blow your mind.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Thats a great thought. First thought seems to be the hardest...but its the few after

[@WNYretiree]

That gets a yes from me.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

hell ya!!!

[@jayray6488]

wow! great colab!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Dudeee loved it!

[@deliathorja442]

You know what else you gotta hear? Weather the storm from Insomnium ft Mikael Stanne from Dark Tranquility. 🤘😁

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

ohhh hell ya!

[@CarolMarianaa]

This song is PERFECT. PEEEERRRRRFECT!!!!!! That's all I have to say. ❤

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Right! Sooooo good

[@simonditheridge708]

did someone say 'epic' in an Epica reaction.......what are the odds lol.....

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

guilty hahha

[@andreaswennberg9542]

Love this song, like an ongoing heart attack😂 🤘😄

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

hahaha

[@showmannen99]

Mayhem life eternal live

[@ShadowhispersBand]

Try MaYaN. Sounds pretty similar. Rebirth fom Despair live would be a good one 😉

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Oh you got it! How you been!?

[@paulriddle7818]

Floor was on MaYaN's first album.

[@wildhoney126]

Mayan is the same Epica, but not as commercial. almost all Epica musicians play and sing in Mayan 😌

[@ShadowhispersBand]

@@TheWolffAndTheMelody of course I got it. Been busy lately. Something new in the making. Something quite unique.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

@@ShadowhispersBand Oh really? You on insta?
