    Hello! Finally some more Epica. 🙂 Did you know there's another collab between these two bands? This time it's a song by Apocalyptica. Their original song from a few years ago was called "Rise" and it was an instrumental. The new song is called "Rise Again" and this time it features Simone on vocals! Absolutely stunning voice, you really need to hear it! Oh and she looks incredible too. 🙃

  • @MilesDashing
    @MilesDashing Před 8 měsíci +1

    For me, it's Simone's ability to be very delicate at the beginning of the song and then really powerful at the climax, and then dial it back to really delicate at the end that is truly impressive. Also, she just has a naturally beautiful voice, maybe the most beautiful I've heard.

  • @nevermore5168

    First time I heard this song I was with friends at a get together. I don't drink any more ( medical reasons) so I was the D.D. for the night. Everyone was drunk and I was in charge of music. Everyone was getting pretty loud and crazy so I decided to put on a ballad. Somehow this song came up in my looking, so I said ok. I've never seen a get together go from crazy to silence in a blink of an eye! It's the old saying "music soothes the savage beast!"

    I was waving one of the lights in this video. It was a beautiful performance. The entire show was amazing. Got to enjoy it pretty much from the front row. Apocalyptica were co-headlining the concert, so they played before Epica came on. In that regard, the mood was already kind of set. PS: The Omega Alive show had an acapella version of this song in the set.

    I have seen yesterday this magnificent eye watering ballad of Epica live in Cologne Germany, I drove with my car 2,5 hours from my hometown in the Netherlands. Simone was out of the world again! But in Cologne Rivers was without the cello's, instead of that I experienced Apocalyptica Rise Again with Simone on fire!!! Simone still gets better with each year, she is so powerful now but still has that unique crystal clear soprano voice which i truly love, she is for me the best female vocalist together with Fabienne Erni of Eluveitie/Illumishade. Thank u for the great reaction! Oh and I was there too in AFAS Live Amsterdam hehe

    Good reaction guys, excellent video! You have good vibes and it is cheerful to see!
    I see you have checked some of the original masters of symphonic metal with Nightwish, Epica and Within Temptation.
    Maybe you are missing the creator of this genre and one of the greatest composers of our time. This is the swedish band Therion (with its mastermind creator and composer Christofer Johnsson).
    If you check for example the song "Schwarzalbenheim" especially from the live show called "Miskolc Experience", you can discover their level and also complete your repertoire of symphonic metal.

    before the Rivers appeared with Apocalyptica, Simone sang the song Rise Again with them. And it came out very nice. I would really like an official live of Apocalyptica with Simone, they are currently on tour together and she has already sung Rise Again with Apocalyptica at several concerts. But the quality of the video taken by the audience is of course not at all the same as the official live with normal sound.

    Some days ago one from my ex-roomies, an old woman who nowadays is in an residence-hospital, she sent to me a link of a "chiquitita" cello cover. Well, I sent this song to her and her answer was: "so so gorgeous", and I replied: " ey, metallers we can do beautiful things, can you see-listen it?". But months ago I sent it to her so beatiful daughter (on my age) and she didn't comment it. Maybe because an metaller ex-junkie who is just surviving isn't enough solvent for her materialist-comfortable life or because metal music continues being demonized?? Hmm....I'm not sure, I'll never understand women's diverse minds neither their VOICES, because Simone's is so so tender and with the genius from Apocalyptica beside her it's..... Magical, so so incredibly magical (this adjective was what my metaller friends gave me when I sent to all them this linksong at the first time it appeared). So.........

Just gorgeous. But my favorite performance is from their 20th anniversary concert in Tilberg. Saw the concert via the livestream which was truly high quality video and audio. They start with the acapella version and then finish with the whole band coming in. Only fan cam videos but still some pretty good audio. czcams.com/video/v5Eiohd_Ed8/video.html.

    Hello, hear you talking about microphones and studio recordings, but do you know the most important thing of all is, SIMONE IS A GREAT SINGER. This is what Symphonic Metal is.
