Absolutely love how each member of the group here is shown smiling and really enjoying the song. No pseudo "metal" prosing or anything, just musicians enjoying the hell out of something they have created together.
Same feeling here!
Its awesome to see that.
They are posing like every singer does in every musical video in the world (or acting if you prefer that term). Different kind of metal, different kind of pose.
they enjoing judjement day
Yes, because they'r in love of Jesoos
I love how much fun they're having
Me too :)
I know right
It's just so human. You can see the precise moment each of them actively think about the next part, and then they celebrate nailing it. I wish bands would do more of this style of music/lyric video.
+LimeZProductions You took the words out of my mouth
I agree :)
this video is like a hardcore Pantene commercial :D
Cassandra Teal this comment made me smile irl
hahahahaha I can't
Cassandra Teal Amaranthe is worse :)
Eu entendi a referência huehuehue
Cassandra Teal I wish I had hair like that
You don't see bands looking like they're enjoying themselves enough. I enjoyed this vid more than I normally would watching a music video cos they look like they're having a blast.
I have to agree and say this even applies to live performances. Up and coming or "smaller" bands need to understand that. They have to enjoy themselves and engage with the public. I have seen many instances where the musicians don't even move around the stage and interact with each other or the public.
Well folks, it finally happened: Epica wrote a song about the dangers of Skynet
First thing I thought of :D
same here :D "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" were the first thing that came to my mind!
this is not about skynet but about what is going on the world now NWO
I like the Song, but it creeped the fuck out of me when I really read the lyrics. How can they just stand there and sing or play that song and enjoying it? 😂😂
dude same lol sounds like some end times type stuff and they're totally ready to face God
I am over and over again how these guys call it a "Lyric Video" and it's still more of a music video than most "Music Videos" out there :D
nuclear blast lyric videos are as produced as a music video haha
Guilherme Juquênzio And that's a great thing! :D The last two Lyric Videos by Equilibrium were little masterpieces in their own kind too, made like music videos :D
at least you can still read the lyrics
most official lyric videos from metal bands are completely unreadable :P
rondowar Yeah that's true :D
Depends on the genre in general, but yes :D
to be honest I always like simple music videos
7 years ago looks like 1 year ago
Absolutely 🔥🤘
Time walking ao fast human walking too slow
I've literally been listening to EPICA since they first came out back when I was in high school. While The Divine Conspiracy is still my favorite album, I still love their new albums and am so glad they are still releasing music. I love Mark's lyrics and songwriting, and of course Simone's singing ability! EPICA sings about issues no one wants to talk about at all. This is part of what makes them so good. They are still my favorite band to this day!
" EPICA sings about issues no one wants to talk about at all."
They might be the new Moody Blues.
"Find your grace in defeat" = "We are your salvation through destruction"
So.... Basically the lyrics are written by the Reapers of MassEffect.
Universal Deathsquad indeed!!!
I feel more akin to Guardians Of The Galaxy.
GRITO
Robotic legions...I'm thinking more Geth :p
+LifeForBass well we already have drones and robots that can walk. It's only a matter of time before soldiers are living beings no more.
I'm just thinking of Skynet
Epica NEVER disappoints!
NEVER
the name is self evident maam
Never × 2
Never never and never
"i am forever the snake devouring its tail... in search for eternity..."
Just wow
Café e Ciência EPICA tem mesmo muuitos fãs das terrasTupiniquins, até o Café e Ciência.
Café e Ciência its because Ouroboros only rhymes with a few words... Lol
Newsflash? That's humanity.
It's called the ourobouros. Read and research.
Archons
Annunaki
Enki
Draconians
This song does not get enough credit. As a metal fan form the original 4 horseman and someone who Loves loves metal . This band has it all. Metal back ground, great base and drums, keyboard, lead guitar is on point the addition of the death metal voice and the angel of a lead is such the combo and metal man should be frothing over.
nevermind explaining how the world actually works in basically every song. no wonder mainstream channels dont want anything to do with them
Epica never disapoints.
really? I think the last album was one of few good albums they made
I feel like Requiem For The Indifferent was a disappointment. Their worst album, imo. But this sounds amazing.
True, it is the weakest album, but also has its high points.
+Lyric Poet I don't know. monopoly on the truth was good.
+Lyric Poet and storm the sorrow
Everything I wanted and more. Epica never disappoint!
Literally true. I can't think of a single bad release... must be some sort of black magic?
more like redhead magic)
I totally love it!
Magic no, it's the power of Heavy Metal.
I think Requiem for the indifferent seems too weak after Design your universe.
This is one of those songs that should be in the setlist EVERYTIME.
2024 y no e perdido el encanto de sus musicas💯💯❤🔥
OH GOD !! This is so fucking good !!
Damn look the sound of the guitars and the drums, it's soooo good, the keybords are so beautiful too. And Simone sings like an angel...And man, look that solo !
Another masterpiece coming ! I can't wait
youre right !!
+Jan “Dreejavu” Dreeser XD
marilyn manson yes!!! not this church crap with a wannabe marilyn all TRACKS sound the same SHIT CHURCH GOODIE GOODIES
Are you serious? How do you come up with this comparison? Go
I think you meant to say Simone is an angel. hahaha
This 52 year-old lifelong metalhead awoke this morning unaware of an awaiting present on CZcams from my favorite band of the last 10 years...a new song and video !!! I was able to see them live this past Feb. 2nd in Atlanta, Georgia...and I STILL am smiling at the memory. GREAT BAND...KILLER NEW TUNE... can't wait for the CD to drop..
This is the most interesting band in decades, and Simones vocals beats it all in a stunning beauty
Honestly, what makes this great is the fact that it looks like they all LOVE their job and our gaving so much fun :).
The chorus has an absolutely crazy good hook. This is one of those songs as a band, they had to of been sitting there in the booth and when that chorus kicked in, looked at each other and said "oh hell yeah".
Ikr
That sounds nowhere than metal but god damn it’s catchy
*Epica After Forever!!!*
It's worth remembering that we are not cold and steady machines.. Keep our hearts and feelings open! Thank you epica.
i love it when Simone smiles as she sings.
Now THIS is how you do a video, can't wait for the album!!!
Epic
* a
Precious Metal Trove epic for great song
AlexViking88 ᛒᛆᛚᚴᚤᚱᚼᛆ cheers babe :)
+Precious Metal Trove I just found a good band because of you! Path To Destiny! 😀 Thank you!
u must be religious ? epic shit yes all sounds the fucking same
Epica sounds like no-one else and no-one sounds like Epica. Hail the new album! Starting off where "Quantum" left off. I like the musicality of this song.
Cuando Épica deje de hacer música, voy a llorar muy fuerte!
Oh me too!!!!!! UGH
I'm so excited for the album!
Me too! Been waiting long for this!!!
KudRokk since the last album "the quantum enigma" it somehow made me really excited for the upcoming album because I felt like it's going to be even more epic.
+Sarah Nemo You're right Miss Nemo! Quantum was a blast and I've had a lotta fun with it, and still have! But I am always waiting really hard for new Stuff of my Fav Bands! I saw them in January and they announced the new Album ---> that's exactly where it gets frustrating, when you know there's something in the process, but It'll take more than half a year, to be able to hear it 😂😂🤘🏻
KudRokk So true, I get really impatient when it comes to music and new albums 😜 do you like sirenia? I've heard that Ailyn won't continue with them, it's so sad!
+Sarah Nemo Yeah so true! So what shalk we do, to kill time Until the 30th of September? I've got no Idea, but it will be truly hard, perhaps even harder than All games of the DARK SOULS Series 😂😂😂 ! As for Sirenia, I'm sad to tell you, that I'm not really into their songs. I like 2 or 3 very much, but most of their songs just don't catch me 😑
One thing always stays at the top of my favourite reasons to love this band. Epica could have been a name easily taken by another group. However if another group did think of it, I suppose they thought of it as too pompous, arrogant, or feared they might not live up to the name. This band didn't and they just gave it and still give the best ...the most EPIC versions of themselves every time they can. That is what makes them great ...not the name itself but what lies behind it: sweat, time, effort, creativity on a grandiose scale. Thank you so much for this upload!
They actually took the name Epica from Kamelot though ;)
+Daisylove76 well that i did not know. thank you for the info.
There is a Kamelot album named Epica.
look at metallum metal archives you will see there are six or seven bands named Epica
As other stated. They where inspired by Kamelot's Epica album which is the 2nd of a story based off of Faust. March of Mephisto is so bad arse when you got good bass to push with.
power, speed, and symphonic, all in one.. :D NOICE
Is unbelievable how Simone can be THAT beautiful.
This "lyrics" video has better quality than most "actual" music videos. Well done!
Also, the song is INSANE and so uplifting, heavy but catchy in the chorus. So stoked, cannot wait for the album to finally be released
Much more progressive than their lasts albums.
Epica is at their best when they incorporate progressive elements into their music. Needless to say I am really excited for this album!
Definitely a good thing!
I've always thought that RFTI was by far their best album. Although maybe I'm just biased since I'm a big prog fan.
maybe it's because simone's husband, holy lord akerfeldt
Huskope Shroud w0t mate?
Seamos sinceros. Épica tiene la combinación perfecta entre la delicadeza y la fuerza del metal gótico . Gracias Épica!!!!!

@Vapid Nonsence What are you even talking about???
@Vapid Nonsence that's a whole lot of words to not say anything intelligent
The original commenteer is basically saying they have no bad songs. Wow. Vapid Nonsense (Well, that's apt) - Ever hear of projection?
@@Monty-or9sb OMG it just registered with me what his name is. Could be an elaborate troll. If so, fair play.
@Vapid Nonsence Maybe click on "read more" before you comment next time hahahaha
they dont change their style by fashion, making electronic effects and later dying, they grow as their music :) proud of them
As great as you can expect from Epica.
A masterpiece
Simone is so damn cute in this video
yes :c
When isn't she
in this video only?!... :P
*every video.
The whole band is cute as hell
4:44 best part she has an amazing voice
This is incredible. Vocally and musically, with a killer guitar solo at the end. What a band.
"I am forever the snake devouring its tail
In search of eternity"... I still can't believe these thoughts...
Epica's like... one of the few symphonic metal bands that's still good after 15 years and they keep staying fresh!
EPICA is the best Metal Band in the World !
Nunca me dejan de sorprender y agradar, grandes musicos, grande su musica, EXCELENTE MUJER, la mejor maldita banda de metal sinfónico.
Parece música de pawer ranger
La letra es espeluznante 😮 me gusta cuando canta con ese tono tipo opera ❤
3:16 Mark doing the sound of the up harmonics with his mouth "PKALALWW"
"robotic fans stand in line to carry out the album" ... well i cant wait. want it NOW
Their lyric videos are always more than "Lyric videos"
Listening to this while playing Horizon Zero Dawn seems fitting xD
First time seeing this band and I am seriously impressed! Just as I am impressed with seeing Dance with the Dragon from Dark Sarah. That link lead me here as a suggested video to watch. I just don't know what to say! This song is literally a masterpiece! We all need to be thankful for these individuals that they would share their love and passion for musicianship and for letting us have such great music to cherish for a lifetime! You truly are Epic on so many scales! Thank you for all your hard work and I will definitely be looking at your other videos! Love from the USA!
Another Masterpiece from Epica!!
The title fits Mass Effect
"Robotic Legions" Oh yeah, I'm definitely playing this song with Mass Effect
absolutely :D
The lyrics are kind of lame when you actually read it
The song's name still fits to mass effect and the sound is amazing ... you don't really expect outstanding lyrics from epica, do you?
Um no not really it does not fit at all.
I love the way they have so much fun when performing.
I love videos like this where all musicians shows how they're having so much fun, and that they love what they do :')
Good Good. Epica is one of this bands that never disappointed you. I hope this album will be greatest than the last. The Simone's voice is great like always
4:54 The guitarist!!!!! WhAT a CUTE voice!!!!!!
lol
This is basically a song about the backstory of Terminator
I mean I love the Terminator series, but Id stan the hell out of it if they covered the score for a Terminator film.
@@RhomboMus stan? The fuck is that?
Still amazing in 2023!
They have to be one of the most hard working bands this days and still make great music!
They all look like they're having so much fun. Awesome
I never thought of Simone as having much belting ability, but I actually really like how her voice sounds here. I love how she is expanding her ability. Contrast this style with the tightly-controlled, almost emotionless way she sang in TPA and it's amazing how much she has evolved.
i love this song
i love epica !!
esse é o gás que faltava na minha vida
Da pra sentir a emoção dessa música. Caraca que arranjo! Trabalho lindo e harmonioso.
Falou tudo irmão
Just listened to THP and once again these guys surpassed themselves, TQE is still my favourite but damn this one is close behind. They are umbeatable when it comes to their niche. Grandiose image, lyric content, musical approach, vocals, marketing, really excited to see them live!
just wish they came to Athens, Greece!!!!!! we love them soo much here!!!!!!! \/ love from \/ 3 N U 55 \/
Last 2 albums have been genre-defining 10/10 albums.
this song makes me smile
the rythm is just so fun
love it!
"I am forever the snake devouring it's tail, in search of eternity."
"I'm immortal thus my freedom is my captivity." -Kamelot, Across the Highlands.
this song improves with time like the good wine.
And the lyrics are more deep and intelligent of what they seem at first sight.
At first I thought the lyric of this song is on both human's and robot's perspectives and it's kinda confusing at some parts.
Recently a friend told me that this song is on robot's perspective only and the lyric is much easier to understand now
I love their stagemanship. Aside from the great music, they can also express it in their performance. It's really amazing.
There's no band that comes even remotely close to the brillant songwriting of Epica ❤
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this song. Perfection.
i was never a fan of this band but i have to say that this record is by far the most superb and neat they've ever released.Both music and lyrics are great. All songs combine perfectly. You finally managed to make me buy one of your albums,Epica ...congratulations :P
Love this. They're getting better with every album. 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Spectacular! And I love to watch them play with so much joy.
Jesus Christ this band is way more amazing than I expected
Seems like we share a similar name.....
Love this song!
For me The Holographic Principle is the best album! Even better than Design Your Universe.
This song was very epic. It had a symphonic metal sound to it. All the instruments sounded great, including the vocalist!
Just fantastic. I really love the flow of this one. Unique and powerful.
Does Simone dream of electric sheep?
Yes
Don't we all, these days?
I just had the best visual/listening experience of my life.
First time Epica? :)
@@cancelled_user no, we did covers of Epica way back but this song, in my humble opinion, is one of their bests. Everything about this song is superb!
@@ariannegift5755 Oh yeah true :) I think they don't really have bad songs. And I would have problem to pick Top 10. Just their ballads alone are best I've ever heard from any metal band. Not that I know all bands of course, but damn... Epica is incredible.
Epica doing social distancing in music video since 2016
This band really fits their name. Everything is just epic!
This is breathtaking
Epica's music is perfect for workout. It's so motivating ❤
BAM! another brilliant Epica song. Fills me with joy.
Decided this is one of their best songs ever written. Musically, lyrically. It also has the best bass and guitar tones. and the infectious melody from the vocals and keyboard really contrasts well with the harshness and heaviness.
This song really impressed me. Nice work guys!
Symphonic Industrial Metal
Metal progresive
only symphonic
it is a mix of progressive metal and symphonic metal
Maybe for the industrial only misses it for the generic beeps from the keyboard.......oh god
more like progressive. nothing to do with industrial metal ....
Love it so much. How can they always sing unusual words for a song? Beautiful.
Can't wait for this album! Already pre-ordered.
Cannot wait for this album. A friend said it last night, Epica gets better and better with each release.
its gonna be tough for them to surpass The Quantum Enigma, that album was a masterpiece, but i wont be suprised if they can, they are an amazing band
They're been fairly consistent for me, definitely not getting better though. The Phantom Agony and Design your Universe were my favs. Cosign to Oblivion and Quantum were also fairly good. But, not a fan of Requiem... at all, and this new song is garbage to me.
Its a masterpiece. It flowed well, and had perfect symmetry, and every song just meshed. Fresh, even still.
Oceanborn and Once are also Nightwish's master pieces.
TO me they have stylistic differences. And at the core Nightwish are folk/power metal band. And at the core Epica are a death metal band, with keyboard, backed by an orchestra. But their earlier stuff was orchestra backed by death metal band. Depends on what you enjoy most.
I would call Epica symphonic metal, because of the symphonies, and the keyboard, with the orchestra and choir.
Death vocals on point 👌
This is the best song I've hears in years. Thank you!!
This guys are insane. They are OUTSTANDING!
Ariën van Weesenbeek... what a DRUMMONSTER! ;) yeah!
Hair metal is back!!!
nope sorry no such thing . symphonic metal maybe but ur just making up stuff. lol. @@fullhazard1
Epica have come a long way.
world class musicians, each one a master of their craft!
