Also applause for the drummer. That man has incredibly fast feet.
Have you seen Arien in Dark Horse White Horse (heavy prog done by Marcela and few guys from ReVamp), he used way smaller drumkit than usually and made it sound like room full of drums
Truth
EPICA is beautiful Metal u got about 25 more songs like this Very brilliant band !!!
I love that this band has a name that is pure hyperbole...and is understatement!
Epica is hands down my favorite band ever. I love Nightwish with all my heart, but I always find myself listening to Epica all day long. I make my co-workers listen to it. It has become an addiction for real.
Dude I do the same to my colleagues and I try to make them listen to Eluveitie as well because my two most favourite bands are Epica and Eluveitie haha
Same, I work a lot physically and Epica makes the most tedious work easy peasy. So much energy and grandeur!
The man growling is Mark Jansen(no relation to Floor), he was in Floor's first band After Forever before leaving to form Epica
Thank you for the info!
@@asenka11 and the second growler is Isaac, the guitarist with the 7-string-Gibson, which just occasionally growls
@@asenka11 Mark is the founder of the band, the rhythm guitarist and main growler and songwriter (and yes he has a great charisma, very cool guy), but in this particular performance, the lead guitarist Isaac Delahaye helped out with growls a little bit :) I love it because Isaac's growls are a bit deeper than Mark's, so if you pay attention, right after that crazy fast black metal part, you can notice how they complement each other.
I said Mark is the main songwriter/composer but actually most band members contribute to songwriting. 4 of the 6 band members have degrees in music and they can even write score for a whole orchestra. Amazing! Simone writes about 50% of all their lyrics.
The keyboardist is Coen Janssen, and yes, the keyboard is on rails :)
You need to watch many songs from the 10th anniversary of the band in 2013. It was called Retrospect and it's 3 hours long. Simone was pregnant at the time but she did a great job. Please, react to much more Epica! They will blow your mind. From really heavy headbangers to wonderful ballads that can make you cry (maybe). They also have a few songs that are a bit more mainstream-friendly, such as Storm the Sorrow (also very cool video).
I posted a couple suggestions with links below your other comment :)
@@cancelled_user awesome information friend!
The adjustment that Simone does is of the switch for her voice modulation. She uses it or say switches it whenever she needs a reverb voice or a mono voice. We too can hear the difference if we have an excellent sound earphones
Epica - Cry for the Moon
Epica - Obsessive Devotion
Epica - Our Destiny
Epica - Dance of Fate
👌
Cry for the moon YES
In:
Epica-rivers
Epica-the Skeleton key
Epica-design your universe-retrospect show (listen until the end)
You hear more of her tones
More tones -
Epica - Chasing the Dragon
Epica - Cry for the Moon
Epica - Crimson Bow and Arrow
Yes....this list exactly
Epica - In All Conscience (EPIC METAL FEST aftermovie)
Epica - Unchain Utopia (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO)
Epica - Unleashed & Storm The Sorrow Live Masters Of Rock (2014)
I’ve seen EPICA 4 times WOW THEY GIVE IT THERE ALL
When my mum used to make4 costumes for singers ( mainly music theatre) where they HAD to have a belt. She would sew a "belt" made of segments not joined together ( overlapped) on to the costume, so it didn't constrict her abdomenal breathing
Very interesting:)
Hi Anastasia, this is one of their heaviest songs, probably the most harsh vocals of any Epica song, their catalogue of music is vast and varied, they write the most beautiful ballads, some very catchy songs and they write incredible epic prog metal masterpieces
Damn, I love Epica. I realised Delain is/was a great band too, very nice music, but Epica and Simone will always have a special place in my heart.
This is not heaviest songs of Epica.
@@hestiatrace1852 It's definitely the growliest one and one of the heaviest.
@@cancelled_user It’s “one” of the heaviest but they have heavier ones
His name is Mark Jansen (not related to Floor but was in After Forever with Floor) and Mark made me appreciate growlers like himself, his fellow Mayan band mate George, Fleshgod Apocalypse and Henrik from Amaranthe.
Mark, George and Simone do a song Cosmic Fusion Ayreon Electric Castle and Other Tales Live. Its amazing I love it.
Yes and Mark was the founder of After Forever with Sander Gommans ... in After Forever mark play rythim guitar and make the growls in album Prision of desire and album Decipher ... He's a Star 🤘
Hmmm... terrified of fire?
Then you realy realy have to react to everything live from RAMMSTEIN!
Totally fire free, only bubbles and foam and rainbows... 😁
ha ha ha !
muuuuhahahaha
🤣🤣🤣
I think, "Bück Dich" might be without fire... 😂
There is a live video where Simone's hair almost caught on fire from some on-stage fireworks. I just don't remember which one it was :]
Epica definitely does tour the US - I've seen them several times - and they are fantastic in concert. It is well worth your time and money to go see them next time they come around near you. That said, you're correct that they don't play the same size venues in the US that they do in Europe - symphonic (and prog and power) metal just doesn't seem to be as popular here unfortunately. The silver lining of it is that you can get a chance to get close to the stage and see them in a very intimate setting. I've definitely seen them play shows in the 500-1000 person range.
Simone uses quite a lot different singing styles, pop voice in Ayreon - This Human Equation, low distorted in Epica - Chasing the Dragon live Retrospect (this one have the most different styles, starts as ballad, ends black metalish). Tides of TIme has also pop verse and operatic chorus
Another versatile singer whos been everywhere and helped out everyone in Dutch scene is Marcela Bovio (Elfonia, Stream of Passion, MaYaN, Dark Horse White Horse) featured on 5 Ayreon albums, Vuur, ReVamp, Epica backings
czcams.com/video/nW6Jkpv5iZA/video.html
czcams.com/video/u5TQqUD74OE/video.html
Epica had a live stream event, Omega alive, there was fire everywhere, at one moment keyboardist was playing on a burning piano
Mark is the founding member of the band, so in reality He is the main man
YOu should definitely check out a video from their Retrospect concert for their 10th anniversary, including a full orchestra and a choir live on stage.
Masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!
For angel and demon, Abyss of time! And all the songs mentioned by Remko. O yeah, and Kingdom Of heaven III is brilliant!
I saw them a few times in Dallas TX, so I know they have been there numerous times. I hope they still go annually.
Epica took their name off the sixth album by the band Kamelot, which just happens to have Simone's husband Oliver Palotai on Keyboards. She sang co-vocals with Kamelot's original lead singer Roy Kahn on the track 'The Haunting (Somewhere in Time)'.
Simone was originally the girlfriend of the growling singer Mark Jansen and was brought into the band by him after they had been practicing the high/low combinations together.
EPICA!! Symphonic metal super league band! They are awesome (and Dutch like Within Temptation, Delain, and others...)
Check out some more from the Retrospect show or their latest album - some great songs on that!
I love Simone! I heard that she likes her name pronounced with the "e" at the end - like Aphrodite. The other way, she said "Sounds like a German calling for Simon"... She knows the best dirty jokes! Yes! Commanding "the wall of death"! Shout out the drummer Arien van Weesenbeek - hitting things since he was 3 years old - cutlery against furniture to begin with and THEN he found his dad's drumkit! Coen is the keyboard player - great guy! Love his impromptu screams! Mark Jansen (no relation to Floor) is the guitarist/growler. He was in After Forever with Floor and was Simone's boyfriend for a while. Have a look at "Chasing The Dragon" by Epica, live at Retrospect!? The name "Epica" was taken from the title of a Kamelot album - and Simone is married to Kamelot's keyboard player, Oliver Palotai. Metal is Family!
Hello Anastasia, thanks for the nice reaction on this song, i love your reactions and i hope you do it many, many times more, so i can listen to your comments. Greetings from a old metal lover!!
Crabby girl! I'm a Cancer too, I love you ❤️🌕🦀
Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina!!
Welcome to the world of Epica. For me they are by far the best symphonic metal band in the world and of course they make me proud to be Dutch! Yey! 🇳🇱🤘
If you like costumes, Epica - the skeleton key or Epica - abyss of time. Great songs when half the budget went to simones clothing 😂. Beautiful tho.
If you want to know more about pyrotechnics, you should check out another reactor: Tank the Tech. He actually was a pyrotechnician for concerts, and he knows how they manage NOT to put the artists on fire.
Finally Epica :-) Epica is my favourite Symphonic Metal band. Lot's of excellent songs to explore. You should also check out Kingdom of Heaven Part I or do the whole triology Kingdom of Heaven I - III ;-)
Simone is a goddess :) Incredible singer (she also writes lyrics for about 50% of Epica songs) and she's also unbelievably beautiful woman (even girls say that, lol).
The "angel and demon" thing is actually called "beauty and the beast", the concept that originated in gothic metal. Epica often use this duality of good and evil, light and darkness, etc. Some people don't get it and they say they don't listen to Epica because they don't like growls... Mark Jansen does both death metal growls and black metal screams.
It can remind you Nightwish a little bit because both bands are in the symphonic metal sub-genre :) They are similar but in some respects also very different.
I love good music you always rock and your music is great,she sounds like and angel.
Floor and Simone are very close in terms of being able to sing in different placements. They in fact had the same vocal instructor a woman by the name of Amanda Somerville you can check her out in the bands such as Aina, HDK, Kiske/Somerville, Trillium and the multi female fronted symphonic rock super group by the name of Exit Eden.
Simone adjusts her pack depending on the level of volume/height she is about to sing in, the higher up she sings the lower she puts its. The lower the volume/height the more it gets turned up.
Well, Amanda might served as a vocal coach (aka 'Talking mirror'), but that's very different from being a singing teacher: she didn't "teach" either of them different placements. In fact she wasn't even in Europe when Floor and Simone got their education. The main vocal teacher of Floor was Edward Hoepelman of the Fontys Conservartory, Simone attended several programs at local music schools, but no formal education at the conservatory level.
Thats exactly what I meant by Amanda just used the wrong terminology. Never said that Amanda taught them different placements I said that they are similar in the fact that they can both use different placements.
She had black one’s on when I saw here live in NYC !!! Was a great show!!
Simone is The Avenging Angel... Floor is a Valkyrie... and Tarja, as always, is Queen of the Metal Queens. And not forgetting Anneke, my favorite metal soccer mom, so cute.
Epica and Therion have both taken their show to the Miskolc Opera Festival. Playing with full orchestra and choir. Therion is superb.
Epica has done a number of concerts with orchestra.
Cry for the Moon in Studio is a wonderful example of her early voice. An outstanding choir of big voices.
And Sharon?;)
@@mauijttewaal But of course "The Ice Queen"
Simone is actually mixing her vocals as the song progress... Honestly its a amazing feat
Good reaction. Amazing band. One of my favorite bands. Going to see them live next year, but don’t want to be in the wall of epic(a). They write great compositions. The live streaming event last month was amazing. Watched it 3 times. Thank you for this reaction.
Anastasia I would like to recommend Rush and their song Xanadu and la Villa Strangiato (This song is a instrumental which tells a story with music)
Not bad for the last song.Seriously ,heard the song live myself before .Epica is incredible like Nightwish live. As soon as i get the chance i will go to their concerts again. You should do it too. By the way a very good reaction video. Greetings from Germany.
The Gitarr Player there do the Growls is Mark Jansen he Bild the Band Epica in 2003 in the Netherland s
you have to look EPICA - Abyss of Time (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) that is your song and you see your black and withe / good and bad ....und my costums by simone ...
I'm sure someone has probably mentioned it by now, but just in case: part of the reason for the similarities between Nightwish, Epica and Kamelot is they all kind of know and inspire each other.
IIRC: Floor and Simone used to be room mates, Epica was named after the Kamelot album, THEN Epica used to open FOR Kamelot while Simone guested on songs on The Black Halo (check out "The Haunting"), Floor sang with Kamelot a couple times when she was in After Forever, they're really all connected, but definitely each their own thing.
You forgot to mention that Simone is married to Kamelot's current keyboard player, Oliver Palotai. :-)
Cry for the moon live session
HD version, not the official with poor quality!
Great reaction. Mark does most of the growling but sometimes the other guitarist Isaac does some growling, as well. Maybe next you could try Essence of Silence: czcams.com/video/0AembRuTRAI/video.html
Epica react to Cry for the mon, please, the lirics and the sound are amazing
Always recommend the HD version! The old version on Epica channel has very bad sound.
fun reaction
From what I recall, Epica has toured in the United States but they're apart of Nuclear Blast and Nuclear Blast is more European based so most of there tours are in Europe. I'm not positive about it though so if someone please correct me on it so I can get it right.
Epica have been touring the U.S. since 2005. Unfortunately, the venues are smaller and the tours, shorter, but with each tour they seem to improve on the amount of cities they play and the quality of venues improve as well. At least in my area:-)
Thank you for clarifying! I knew they've been to the United States but I didn't know how long they've been coming and I didn't know if there was a certain reason why they mainly tour in Europe or South America. Ever since I started listening, from what I remember they only came once. I'm not sure though, I might've not been paying too much attention to it lol.
No worries. It's easiest to check out their website for the tour dates. Nothing for North America listed yet, but we'll probably get an updated tour schedule by the end of the year
epica is the only simphonic metal band that is possible to mosh
Never understand why the fans recommand this song first. It is the harshest one and like discovering Metallica with St Anger. To get an idea of the beauty of Simone's voice try "Rivers" "Unleashed" or "Skeleton Key". For more epic ones "Design your Universe" live (Retrospect), "Kingdom of Heaven Part 1-3". And if you don't like fire you have to check out RAMMSTEIN 😂😂😂. Best live performance ever next to NW. Dark & evil. Check out "Du hast" live from Paris or "Engel" live from Madison Square Garden.
... exactly my emotion ...this song has almost no Simone is not best representing Epica, though some mellow ballad would be even less accurate ...
...Design Your Universe, Chasing the Dragon and hundred other songs can do better introduction...
...Kingdom of Heaven imo should be left for much later because it is very complex and has most deep meaning ...
@@AkelasanAK Even though Kingdom of Heaven is my favourite Epica song and is superior to CoT for me I think most people suggest this one because of the quality of the live version. Sadly KoH does not have a proper live video to react to, hopefully that'll change if they release the Omega Alive version. Also CoT is the song they finish the shows with most of the time, it became a classic...but yeah, if I were to choose a song to introduce someone I'd pick Design Your Universe probably.
Anyway for me the harsh vocals are great in this song, so if the reactor likes heavy music, like she is, it's very enjoyable, otherwise yeah, they will run out away from the band probably lol
I think The Essence Of Silence and Victims Of Contingency are heavier.
@@fritsyt2090 I don't care if it's the hardest or not 😂. The song is completely unsuitable to introduce someone to EPICA for the first time. It's simply not representative of their music, only a relic from 2004. Top for fans, but complete nonsense as an introduction.
try tides of time and memory by epica
Simone is a versatile singer, one of the greatest vocalists out there. She can do it all except for the grunts but then again, she doesn't have to as others do those parts in Epica!
Funny, in that I don't find her versatile at all. She sounds the same always. Love her...just don't see it that way.
@@milton1448 Each to their own.
Simone is not a versatile singer. Not even close BUT I still love her vocal style in Epica which is, you know, classical/operatic style and that's it. When it comes to Versatility I'd say Floor Jansen.
@@taurusguy9305 Like I said, each to their own.
@@jaapblaauw3735 Not really. Reality matters over personal opinion.
Hey Anna Have fun with epica
I can only recommend a wall of death. Epica's walls of death are quite civil. Good way to start 😉
"Who cleans up after that?" Well, those working at the venu. Costs a few hundred euro...
Epica is amazing, try Design your universe live retrospect next, it will give you chills
Please react to Design Your Universe, live at Retrospect Concert to get the full orchestra, choir and full Epica vocal experience. Love your reactions. 🤘💕
I'm Cancer As Well. Today is My Birthday, But I Guess I'm Kinda Strange, I Love Fire! Love All Your Covers. You Are Really Great! We Want To Hear More From You!
Yes, the keyboard is mobile and there are videos of him moving all over the stage. I am not a big Epica fan, but this was kickass!
Mark Jansen hash vocals and no relation to Floor other than After Forever is the founding member of Epica. The other guitarist and bassist do backing vocals.
They tour the states. I’ve seen them live 2x. They sound incredible and a very tight band.
So she was actually pregnant at the time of this song. That could be why she has that belt!
Oh I didn’t know!
not this time, you are talking about Retrospect show in 2013
Sorry but no, Simone is not pregnant here, this concert is from 2017, however she was pregnant during the Retrospect concert in 2013, she only has one child
@@watchtheskies lol, watching those reaction video comments she should have small village already :)
@@ArvoR
You're not wrong, it's getting out of hand! 😄
most places charge a min of 500 dollars for confetti clean up
My favourite band
Epica is awesome, and this is not even their best song, it's just the most popular and what they usually close the show with (except the latest virtual stream). Try Design your Universe live from Retrospect show.
Simone sings in this operatic style a lot but not always, she does chest voice as well. Doesn't usually add a lot of distortion though, and never growls, because they have Mark to do that lol. It's that famous style regarded as "Beauty and the Beast" that works so well when done right.
The music have similarities to other symphonic metal bands like NW but it's overall heavier. As a fan of both bands I see them as a nice complement since Epica has their own unique sound, with the death metal influence and such, and NW has their own trademark sound as well.
Epica is not always heavy though, they also have beautiful ballads as well, with just Simone singing, they are really versatile. To me it doesn't get better than these 2 bands if we are talking about this "symphonic metal" genre but of course I respect other bands like Within Temptation which are big as well
BTW they are from Netherlands (Isaac from Belgium), and these are the current members:
Simone Simons - lead vocals
Mark Jansen - rythym guitar and growls also founder of the band - he was initially in After Forever together with Floor, but left in 2001, also a great band
Isaac Delahaye - lead guitar (he does some complementary growls like in this song)
Coen Janssen - keyboards and "random growls" (yes he has this cool moving keyboard and another one that's curved and portable) - he also arranges the orchestral parts
Rob van der Loo - bass
Ariën van Weesenbeek
- drums
Cheers!
mark is the leader and the principal copmposser .... his brother cohen ( keyboards=) do the arrangements and the music direction
Loved it !!!
Wait you love Gurl Power ; heavy as hell full costumed in 5 inch heels kinda music
Have you heard if / seen LOVEBITES?
All female heavy band from Japan
If interested I think you would love
There song Swan Song which begins with Chopin Revolutionary Etude on grand piano !
The Band (in most cases) are required to pay for the cost of cleanup when they use confetti canons. It can cost upwards to $1,000.
Epica is great live. They were the last show I saw before covid hit. It was in NYC in a small venue, but unfortunately the place didn't have the best acoustics for their style of music which kind of took away from the show a little bit. But any Epica show is still a great show.
If you want to hear angel and devil mode from them do the Essence of Silence live from them. It's a shorter song but it will blow you're mind...🤯
Would love to see your reaction to Rammstein's Du Hast live in Paris!
Interuptus giganticus !
For the original beauty and the beast concept check Tristania and Theatre Of Tragedy
Simone learn from the best female Singer, she was teached by her best friend, Floor.
Urban legend actually…..and based on my research, Simone is more classically trained formally than the over hyped Floor. She has perfect pitch like Tommy Karevick of Kamelot.
Thank you for this reaction 😊👍
I suggest that you react to Epica "Design your Universe" Live Retrospect someday.
Also you could be interested by ReVamp "Disdain" live at Graspop 2010. You would have a good surprise if you don't make search about this band.
Thank you again, have a good day and take care 🙂🤘
Nightwish got me hooked on symphonic metal, but Epica got me straight up addicted. Everything else sounds simplistic and boring now. I straight up adore both bands but I find myself listening to Epicas entire discography, while there's just 10-15 of Nightwish's songs I listen to regularly.
Keyboards was on a Swivel
Babymetal at 'Road of Resistance' does very badass moshbit creation.
You should react to Demolisher or smth from Alex) You'll like it
Oke
Kamelot Elizabeth I II & III Live Oslo
confetti and stuff, the venues have clean up crews.
The band has to foot the bill for the service provided.
don't suppose it's cheap.
never realized there may be different type of growls. lol
I am cancer too and I am not afreid of fire.
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN maybe next one?
Check Kingdom of Heaven (all 3 parts) it's a perfection.
Spasiba, Anastasia; I'm not certain regarding this performance, but this may have been VERY early in her pregnancy. So. her attire may have been chosen to hide that as well as to help provide abdominal support and protect the precious life growing inside her. Again, I am speculating.
FIRE DELIVERY FREE = RAMMSTEIN LIVE-PERFORMANCES!!!
Thanks for the reaction. Since you're comparing Simone to an angel you can have a look at Ayreon - This human equation. czcams.com/video/lKwaBJmSUps/video.html
In this song Simone is the angel of death. Greetings from the Netherlands. 👍🇳🇱
Also in "Daniel's descent into Transitus"
czcams.com/video/ozmTXh2CBWw/video.html
Simone plays the Angel Of Death in the latest Aryeon album. czcams.com/video/lKwaBJmSUps/video.html is one of the tunes from it
Nice song, but just look for you reacting{:-)
Re: the confetti. The band has to pay to clean it up.
If you like the heavier stuff, and you want to hear how many different growls / screams one vocalist can employ, check out Lorna Shore. That's the name of the band, not the name of any band member.
I think they fit into the category of Blackened Deathcore, if that means anything to you.
Their new vocalist sucks in my opinion!
@@paulretzbach9583 - That's a play on words, right?
Will Ramos does some of the most versatile harsh vocals I've ever heard.
simmone ever change the volume in her in ears... i know that because i do the monitor mix for they ythe first time that they comes to chile
One more thing. Epica has my favorite song called Unchain Utopia. Check it out plzzz!
In there Simon sings much, or rather little differently.
FYI Simon was pregnant during the show she did with Floor. He se she didn't do that much headbanging/windmilli'g. She is very much from same area than Floor. Not same country if I remember correctly. Sharon from Within Temptation is Dutch also like Floor.
And about that confetti. Band has to pay out of pocket whenever they use those effects. TankTheTech said prize ranges anywhere from 500-1000$. Or it may be taken from bands ticket prices, or sply from their fee's.
Anastasia, pls write to me your zodiac sign. I heard that u said cancer, or dancer. So lol.
I'm not that familiar with English zociad signs. I speak and write it okay. But that one went over my head. So I'd be interested to know why zodiac sign relates to your fear of fire. Love you and your reacts. Stay safe, and I hope you'll be able to see NW live in October. I see them very soon in Finland, bought tickets to Kaisaniemen puisto concert. I do hope that some year when u visit homeland, you'd come to see NW in Finland.
Ik know when to stay in my own league, sort of speak. 😂😁👀
Anywho, have a nice day, and if you have time you could check out Sahara by NW live in Tampa. Also did you do Greatest show on Earth yet? If u didn't, look for Tampere 2015 version. With fireworks. Wembley is good too but it is dark in lighting wise, but has Richard Dawkins in there at the end. Tampere version has he's voice over only.
COENS keybord can move yes so Keybord Coen Jansen Drums Arien van Weesenbeek Gitarr 1 . ISAAC DE Laye Bass Rob Van de Low Vocals Simone Simons Gitarr 2 . And Growls Mark Jansen his Gowls are live
Mark Jansen think Floor
Please reaction Indonesia 🇮🇩🤘 Band BURGERKILL - KILLCHESTRA - AN ELEGY 👌 THANKS ✌️
If you want to see Simone singing differently you can react to Unleashed song czcams.com/video/rxd6sxLxdys/video.html
Rabbithole.
Looks like most of your questions have been answered by others - You will love Stabat Mater from the 10th retrospection - Floor and Simone together - it is sublime.... And while Simone has other voice placements, her strength (MY opinion) lies in her head voice. It brings chills... One of my favorite vocalists (Floor will be #1, probably forever).
Floor was my number 1 but over time Simone become my number 1. I love her voice and I love her.
Maybe they both share the 1st place and Tarja would be the 2nd :) This is my holy trinity, heh. And then Charlotte Wessels and Dianne van Giersbergen, maybe Sabine Edelsbacher.
She does go lower but not in this song this song the band shines. Dig deeper it’s all there. Overall she does do about 80 percent of the vocals
More 55%-68%, considering there are songs with majority Mark or just Mark. They are around the 55%-68% mark. Considering the choir as well are big parts in the interlude and fist songs on each album. Some songs even contain spoken word so Simone is about 55%-68% of the vocals.
@@redfielduniverse Wow, how did you calculate the 68% figure mate :)
@@cancelled_user Oh, you know. You have Mark, Isaac, Coen, the choir, spoken word, special guests, another singer who may be Marcela in the background sperate from the choir. You know dude. ☺️ I think Epica is great at mixing all the different vocal types on all albums with a nice orchestral sound behind them. Mixing that with the heaviness, Epica to me happen to be the best Symphonic Metal band and my current favorite band.
The wall of death scene while playing the riff intro is not fit. It should be fast. I don't know but it's not so fitting.
It doesn't have to be fast, you just prefer fast wall of death. This is a perfect fit. It's up to you what you think a wall of death is but it fits.
