you two slay me every time....Epica.. is love and light....your intensely joyful reaction is very common.among folks who appreciate true beauty. Epica has no flaws....it has something for everyone to enjoy in proper proportions.....please consider reacting to Simone's masterpiece ballad - canvass of life.
Epica is beautiful Metal
Finally a reaction channel that does justice to Epica... please react to Phantom agony from this live session or Kingdom of Heaven
Mariano Cid Costa great recommendations
Valeu
Mariano Cid Costa Yeah Phantom Agony they haven't listen to
....with Amanda Somerville as background voice !!!! Yaaaay !!!!!!
never say "background voice" lol she's part of the choir =)
@@Mad9977 no hard feelings, I met Amanda a couple times and I admire her A LOT !!!
@@Kilian600 haha i did the same back on Epica Chat and i got burned to ashes lol =) have a great day
She purdy
Great!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Fun fact - this is the very first song Epica has produced. Simone is about 19 years old in this video!
If you liked it, try Sensorium, The Phantom Agony and Feint from the same studio session.
just BEAUTIFUL, SIMONE is an angel.
Simone is lovely. So glad she recovered her health. The blonde singer (also great) is Amanda Sommerville and covered for Simone/Epica when she was sick. Another Dutch darlin'. Simone's married to the keyboard player of Kamelot. The "Oceanborn" album by Nightwish was a major influence on Simone. Mark Jansen was in After Forever with Floor Janssen (not related, now of Nightwish) before he began Epica.
Amanda Somerville is actually from my state of Michigan :) Though she has lived in Europe for awhile now and is married to After Forever's lead guitarist.
The song that got me into Epica, I must have listened to this on repeat for hours. Since then seen them live 3 times and they are stunningly good.
I love symphony music, until i discovered metal, then I heard their music for the first time 10 yrs ago or so. Until now, i still love them, even though Simone changed her style in singing, forever and ever, Epica will be in my heart. Hehehe.
I really enjoyed the reaction but the best part of this video is you guys, loving each other, you are so friggin adorable to watch
From this same studio session, you will definitely want to check out Simone's acoustic cover of Memories, The Theme From Cats. It's just Simone, the two main choir voices including Amanda Somerville, and Coen Janssen on grand piano. Very beautiful. I think she blows away all the other many versions of Cats that have been done!
Wow! Finally someone thats understand me! Phantom Agony in this studio version and Kingdom of Heaven live. They are so cool live and they transmite that vibe to the crowd
This is the first single, from the first album of the band, Simone was quite young then.
Just a little bit info for you both, the blonde lassie in the choir is Simone Simons vocal coach Amanda Sommerville, also a predominat vocalist in the world of metal. Great reaction guys 🤘🤘
Stephen Caveney you beat me to it..lol
@@darrellwood3913 Same here, I was in the middle of writing my version of the statement. :)
@Adead I didnt know that thanks for that little piece of info 🤘🤘
@Adead THAT, I did NOT know! Thank You! :)
@Adead Not realy, the brunette girl is Cohen's wife. Sorry for my poor English.
Epica-Kingdom of Heaven (live)
This is my GO TO song when I introduce people to Epica.This was the first time I experienced Epica and I have watched this DVD at least 50 times..lol. Thanks for getting to this one.This is what got me into symphonic metal.
Epica - Sensorium!
Trees of Eternity - Hour of the Nightingale!
After Forever - Monolith of Doubt!
SENSORIUM ;)
Hell yeah! After Forever! Monolith of doubt! You will love it!
@@treintje1001 BRILLIANT
@@AwesomeMetalBands Sensorium is also great. But I would suggest The Phantom Agony. :-)
You two are honestly adorable. Great song!
I also recommend "The Phantom Agony" from this same studio recording. Its symphonic epicness.
ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS :)
Or #Epica "Feint" (acoustic) from this same... Try not to get emotional.
@@AwesomeMetalBands Definitely! This and Design Your Universe.
I see the back up singers and they both remind me of exes, and I see them and this song hits home and floods memories the good and bad.
Shivers, every time I listen to it...no comment and amazing composition
Stay together. You two are adorable.
Simone is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen (and her amazing voice just adds to that beauty)!
OH YOU DID IT! It's a musthear-mustwatch, don't you think so? I'm so happy 😁
PS: I love your Deathly Hallows shirt 😁
What a lovely couple!
RAWRRRRR !!!
One of my favorite bands of all time.I would recommend reading the lyrics if you listen again,an entirely new view ,Still gives me chills after 15 or so years.Another band i would recommend is Dream Theater and a great song Change of Seasons but put aside 23 plus minutes
The Obsessive Devotion by Epica next, it's awesome too
Epica! Simone
I love your videos reaction guys are incredible very, very good. greetings from a distance
Seen them 3 times they give 110 %
You two are sweet! With you all along! Make it 50 mins and I will follow - because this is genuine interaction. And clever, too! ;)
On EPICA... it amazes me that even after a dozen or so years listening, I can still get something new out of those seemingly not-too-complicated songs. Like, on this vid I just noticed how well Mark's growls go over a friggin' flute accompaniment! \m/ Jeez, they should do this more often!! Simone, I love to death, but still especially partial to this, her darkened "young" voice. What depths can it explore, shivers. As you may have noticed lately she's been using sweet higher tones as a rule, only reverting to the mezzo range at select spots - but with overwhelming effect! Overall their first DVD, off which comes the present cut, was what made me the band's fan - they were so organic, involved and IN LOVE with what they were creating, I was almost a big bundle of goosebumps for the whole ride! From the same studio masterpiece, try #EPICA - "The Phantom Agony", or "Feint"... The chamber-choral Metal at its best - and only their first step to the spotlight... Just how TALENTED those guys are. They got even deeper and more progressive with time but never lost that spark of amazement in their eyes.
Btw, reaction to any song by EPICA would usually make a great medium for deeper "rethoric" discussions... As they (between, Mark, Coen and Simone) have never settled for easy lyrics. In fact their catchiest songs are usually home to the heaviest lyrics.
I love this song! So sad that they are not good anymore T-T i miss those days
BTW, that whole studio session was amazing and they closed it out with their cover of Memory from Cats. Simone slays it!
also a masterpiece of EPICA 😎👍
YAYYY you did ittt I love you reactions :D I totally recommend you to react to Epica - Consign To Oblivion (Live at Zenith) you're gonna love how much fun they have on stage!
I like Feint from the same album where she adds even more depth to her voice.
Fantastic song
oh, someone finally redid the audio on that video? so glad, i love the song (and the 'live' EP with it)
cool to see you guys do another song by Epica. You picked up perfectly that they have indeed a lot of fun when performing. I have seen them live once so far and i wtinessed the same fun at the concert. I do not know if you payed attention to the lyrics but they are among the best out there. This song is actually about the cover-up culture of the catholic church when all these abuse cases showed up.
A little background story to this recording itself. This was actually a recrded for a Dutch tv program called the "2 meter sessions" (the lenght of the presenter) . Normally they only invited wellknown artist, arranged a studio, and gave then give them free reign to record songs in ways a normal record company would never allow it. The only exception to this rule was #Epica because the presenter and the producer of the show were so heavilly impressed by their debut album. They recorded 9 songs in that 1 day and released cd/dvd from it called "We will take you with us". One of best cd's i ever bought. The reason that the band is as good as they are is that a large part of the band has a classical music education. The guy with the growling voice is the person that founded the band when he left "After forever" . Does that sound familiar to you? His name is Mark Jansen and he was part of this band together with Floor (and no they are not related). He goofs arround a lot so found it hard to believe he was one creative minds behind the band until i saw an interview with him at home. He was being deadly serious when he started talking about creating music and how he layered each song. In his work erea the books lined the wall about psychology and history and religion. Then it made whole of lot more sense.
I would like to make another recokmmendation from that same show a song called "Feint". The song is about a real assasination of a Dutch politician (Pim Fortuyn) that could have been our next PM and that litterly came out of nowhere (he was not part of any of the big parties). The song is mostly about the after effects on society. It is a stellar performance from Simone and the ballad itself is just heart-breakingly beautiful. Here is the link of the clip with the lyrics included. czcams.com/video/FNTaIz5cABY/video.html
I remember that toy, you two are making me feel old, lol.
Hey, love the enthusiasm, enjoy your videos, keep up the good work.
I have seen Epica live, and Simone Simmons sings as perfect live. She is the best female vocal in any metal band.
She is super good but I would not say best female in metal. Tatiana from Jinjer should be in this conversation
EPICA is beautiful METAL they have over 20 kick ass songs ..and PLEASE please ''' y'all must listen to Kingdom of heaven '''live in Mexico a 13 minute epic song WOW!!!
Simone Simmons brilliant Beutiful METAL and gets better the more u listen ..
Wohoo, Epica!!
Like haunting and eerie felling. Try ❤️Epica - veniality❤️
Recently discovered that song. Getting a strange yet lovely feeling in my neck every time 😍, like my head wants to float away.
Kel,you would love Epica’s version of the old standard song “Memory” off of this same session
The song is also very deep. It's about religion (the Catholic church) and the Child abuse it's known to be involved with.
Hey guys, love the channel.... Kel's reactions are awesome..... especially liked her reaction to Silent Lucidity.... She Gets it. I know you get Thousands of requests....Kelly, you seem to love when there is Orchestra elements involved or Brass bands. I think she would love Chicaco 25 or 6 to 4. Man that has everything in it !! Cheers from Ottawa !!
Unleash the Archers - The matriarch
Unleash the Archers - Apex
Unleash the Archers - Time stands still
Hi guys, luv you liked it, floor jansen is a great fan of them. She is a great fan of their lead singer, Simone simons (also dutch) .
Epica Canvas of life....
This is a well known band who combine opera and heavy metal i love them as evenacense
Thank you!! Epica is awesome one of my favorite bands!! React to Kingdom of Heaven live... and Consign to oblivion live at the Zenith... Thank you!!💜💜💜
#Epica - Kingdom of Heaven (live)
I love all of the "Beauty and the Beast" symphonic matal bands. Please try something from Within Temptation's Black Symphony live concert. You guys are awesome!
love how I grew up listening to them and now, 15 years later, ppl are still finding out how amazing Epica is..
You also have to hear Design your Universe and original Kingdom of Heaven which is unbelievable song
Sweet Simone Simons
The Phantom Agony next 🤘 btw: your HP shirttttttt ❤️
#Amorphis "Amongst Stars" Steve from Omaha. Don't worry there are hardly any growls in the song. It's also a duet with Anneke Van Giersbergen, a fantastic female vocalist.
Awesome !
I remember a couple of years ago at The Proms at the Royal Albert Hall they had an "Ibiza Prom", where an orchestra played dance music anthems alongside the original singers. It's not my usual thing, but it just WORKED. The violinists and the woodwind section were up on their feet dancing while they played. The atmosphere was INCREDIBLE. I'm sure it's on CZcams somewhere, Kel.
you're in life "together" and that's the reason you love being Together. you feed off of each others energy and compliment each other. It's genuine and easy for the outsider looking in to see an example of how a healthy relationship should be. You 2 are perfect together. ]:)
Lovin ya work team😎🤙🏾
Beautiful morning! Thanks for the Epica reaction. Great group with tons of amazing songs.
Feel like maybe I got dressed down a little bit by Rich but that’s okay. I will never stop advocating for symphonic metal. It’s part of my soul!!
Love your reactions!!! So happy you appreciate the combination of classic and metal. Its such a beautiful experience in person!!!!!
Omg I love your Deathly Hallows t shirt lol! What a nice couple! I wish my marriage looks like this but she's into K Pop lol. Thank you for bring respect to Epica ♥️
the poppers... lol. perfect! And you did the "We will take you there" video... the entire session of that is most awesome.
And again ty
Achingly beautiful. The music, too. Metal has so many flavors. No other genre, short of classical I guess, is so multi-flavored. Heavy, Hair, Glam, Progressive, Power, Pagan, Punk, Hardcore, Thrash, Trash, Navel Gazing, Grunge, Industrial, Symphonic, Speed, Folk, Viking, Drinking, Depressive, Melodic, Black, Post Black, Symphonic Black, Instrumental, Instrumental Black, Death, Melodeath, Doom, Funeral, Fantasy, Thud, Cosmic, Atmospheric, Atmospheric Black and undefinable... It starts sounding ridiculous. I can see why some people have had it up to their eyeballs with all the different divisions, but if the mind is open to lots of flavors it's like a da'gone candy store!
epica did actually do a concert (for there 10 years anniversary) called retrospect, where they had a full symphonic orchestra behind them, i have to say, was the best 3 hours of my live (just watching it) even though it was potato-quality. i would recommend you check it out.
React to Kamelot : march of Mephisto & the Haunting (live, feat Simone Simons)
Please react to kingdom of heaven by epica, my favorite personal
Kingdom of heaven is the essence of Epica :) And the Design your universe album is a masterpiece!
I have asked them 20 times to listen to kingdom of heaven but no luck
The new drummer (after this guy) really elevated the band as a whole (as usual with good drummers).
Eargasm!
Hmmmm. I think Kel likes Simone's voice. Guess what? She's not alone!!
yes... 1 area just to Epeca songs ... sure :) did i listen properly..
Epica - Semblance of Liberty or Facade of Reality.
FACADE OF REALITY ;)
Not a fan of growling but I love everything else about Epica. Simone Simons is my favorite female singer.
#VUUR DAYS GO BY
EPICA omega a must check out
#TheGathering - Strange Machines
It's about time travelling 😉
YYYYYYEEEEESSSSSS
So a band from the symphonic genre, and it was not the Philharmonic quintet called #Versailles - Faith and decision.
They are also quite sparkly on stage so I'm sure Kel will like them :)
lets see some withing temptation "Paradise (what about us?) ft. Tarja" amazing song bet you guys would love it
React to: burn to a cinder, sensorium, never enough, unleashed, chasing a dragon, the quantum enigma, sense without sanity, serenade of self destruction.
#Therion rise of Sodom and Gomorrah symphonic metal with the full choir full orchestra. Could not believe what my ears were experiencing first time I heard this
It should be with Lori Lewis in Milskok's Opera Festival, great performance.
#Epica "The Phantom Agony" From the same session...only better....
Hey guys, new subscriber, and I love watching your reaction vids, especially the symphonic metal ones, Kel's reactions remind me so much of how I feel every time I hear a piece of music that moves me, would love to see you guys reacting to HIM - Wicked game, live from the Orpheum theater, or alternatively if you want to try some more symphonic metal you gotta do Kamelot - Abandoned , keep up the good work guys \m/
Nightwish Dark Chest of Wonders (live Wacken 2013), plse, thx.
React to the phanton agony (retrospective live versión)
If you wanna react from my living room in Brittany, France...You're welcome, I have a guest room ;) and the surroundings are fantastic :)
I love this song and it’s on my playlist, BUT the most epic part of this video is when the blond singer raises her eyebrow when the male singer sings :D
Please react to Dimash Kudaibergen yo sé que no es el tipo de música que escucharían normalmente pero de eso se trata la vida de conocer voces nuevas y les aseguro que les sorprenderá ❤️
Oups, I may have liked the video BEFORE I actually watched it ^^ But I already know I will love it...;)
#Trivium The Sin and The Sentence, NSW, Australia, currently one of my favorite metal bands and I can see according to your playlist, it doesn't look like you have viewed anything from Trivium as yet 🙂
Epica is amazing, used to be my channel name :P But if you really love symphonic metal, don't let the big bands like Nightwish and Epica cast a shadow over the smaller bands who are equally amazing.
Ancient Bards - Impious Dystopia,
Dark Sarah - Dance with the Dragon,
Tarja - Love to Hate,
Imperia - My Guardian Angel
Haggard - Awakening The Centuries
Tarja - Supremacy (live)
90% of my music is Symphonic Metal :(
:)
Nightwish - Ever dream 2013 wacken :D
Some music you just have to crank up. The neighbors will get over it...………...lol.
#Mayan The Power Process, Epica on steroids... it's symphonic deathmetal and I know you'll like it.
