    EPICA sets the bar for symphonic metal….no doubt

    Can we defy the code of life? ... Why are we changing what's there by creation? ... Will we abandon the arms of our dear Mother Nature? . This is powerful and thought provoking. I love the hint of Middle Eastern vibes combining with the strong symphonic driver. Simones voice adds the usual dynamic to complete the package. This for me is Epica’s best work to date…only my opinion. Sabina…a beautiful and very meaningful reaction, done with your usual style and panache. Epic Epica.

      @@watchtheskies That's fine. They also have some ballads though. You can try for example MaYaN - Insano

    Sabina, Epica lyrics are always deep! In this case it was written by Simone. She writes lyrics for almost half of Epica songs.
    They can blend all sorts of things masterfully. Heavy guitar riffs, growls, choir, Simone's soprano, Middle Eastern melodies :)
    I love Epica! You should react to them much more! You still have at least 100 songs to choose from and you can't really choose a bad song, hah.
    My most favourite in Code of Life is probably the last chorus where Simone switches to more operatic vocals. That's pure eargasm! Not the mention the sick drumming by Arien, which comes after that :)
    Btw, you mentioned warrior? React to "Internal Warfare" next :) Great song from 2012 and no one reacts to it.
    There's also a EPICA - CODE OF LIFE (VIDEO) uploaded by Produccione Mist. Can you watch that one off camera? I'm sure you won't mind hearing it again 🙂

    "Vita" chorus. Had the same sensation when i first listened to the song. It really sent me to the moon and far away. Absolutely mind blowing and these chorus master the whole piece.

      @@sabina1118 I don't fully agree with Chris because it's almost impossible to say what's Epica's best work. Of course we can have our personal favorites but each of their 8 studio albums is a masterpiece. Ask fans if they can think of any weak Epica album... Yes, some people don't like early albums because they were not heavy enough for them. Others don't like later albums because they're too heavy for them.
      Either way, I don't know any other band where I can listen to every single song on every single album and don't feel the need to skip anything. It's almost unbelievable how amazing this band is. It's the brilliance of their musical compositions, the use of choir which has quite prominent place in their music, the amazing orchestral arrangements and Simone's wonderful divine soprano, with her looks as a nice topping on the cake. It's all such a perfect blend.
      Most reactors only do a few songs and that's it. They don't know what they are missing out, which is shame. There are a couple small channels who decided to dive more into Epica discography and now they can't stop reacting to them. 😄

      @@Ministry_0f_Truth This is the beauty of music…it’s very subjective and will invariably divide and conquer when it comes to opinion.

    I discovered Epica a few years ago and have since enjoyed their music so much. Epica is also a part of my spiritual experience too and that is pretty cool. Anyhow, yes this song is awesome and yes when I first heard this song I had goosebumps too.
    I would like to suggest a song called "Rise Again" by Apocalyptica and the vocals are performed by Epica's Simone Simons. You will not regret it. It is a powerful song.

    Epica asks and deals with the big questions as virtually no one else does. Nightwish at the direction of Tuomas Holopainen is in the same league. It is no coincidence that both outfits are fronted by divine Dutch goddesses. This is perhaps my favorite Epica song. Anyone who's here just for the headbang completely misses the point.
    Addendum: One of the things I particularly like about your reactions is that you don't interrupt the music, but you do put your comments in text - that and your expressions tell us all we need to know. Great respect for this.
