  • Love it!

  • I love everything about Epica .... they aren't just an awesome band they are also awesome people!. I've seen them live 3 times ... the first time I saw them was in a little bar here in America in 07' ... Simmone is so nice, and Mark is amazing!! I have his guitar pick from that small show I saw them at. I can't wait till they come back again! Every time I see them the venue gets bigger and bigger, I'm glad I got too experience them at that little bar!

  • fucking awesome !!!

  • I love that song :D

  • Simone screams too fucking loud in the chorus >.< but well, this song is hard to sing. Great song :DD

  • @AHMEDAMIR40 Yeah to bad I don't fallow that religion or faith. I will stay with my faith. In other words stop pushing you're religion on ever one.

  • @AHMEDAMIR40 Who said Epica wants you to join a different religion? That's not what it's about. It's about religion in general.

  • @AHMEDAMIR40 Heh, you're funny.

  • @AHMEDAMIR40 are u witness??? of what??? bring some proofs

  • @AHMEDAMIR40 Its a free country dude. Are you also going to criticize Cradle of Filth for mocking Christianity? And as far as I know, Epica said nothing about Islam in particular...

  • one of the best performance of her!!!! Simone Simones beauty+talent=perfect combintation!!!!

  • @MarsTerrible =hottest chick in the world

  • awesome song

  • bullshit

  • Why did he introduce this song in English?

  • @Allard88 Why do they sing the songs in english?

  • Because they're written in English. But Epica is a Dutch band and people in Wieze speak Dutch.

  • I know that. I'm just saying, it seemed like you had a problem with them speaking english. Het klonk nationalistisch van je. I mean if you had a problem with english, maybe you should listen to songs that are only written in dutch. Btw when you mention a language in english it's without a capital letter.

  • @Allard88 But yeah, I know you have a logical explanation of course. Why did they speak english to Belgians in Vlaanderen? haha. Maybe they forgot they were in Belgium in the spurr of the moment. So excuse my ill-witted comment I said previously.

  • It's okay. I still want to say that i'm not nationalistic at all though. I love foreign languages, I study a dozen myself, and I'm good at four. Most of my friends are foreign, and I don't mind speaking english to Dutch people when there are foreigners with us so they can understand. You got the wrong impression ;)

  • Btw, names of languages in English are with a capital letter.

  • They always do because there could be people from abroad in the crowd. They speak English in the Netherlands and also in Germany, although Simone can speak German.

  • @DieKatzeIstTot I've never heard them speak English in The Netherlands and I've also heard her say things in German in Germany. Of course there can be people from abroad in the crowd, but there will also be non-English speaking people in the crowd ;)

  • fucking awesome! 5 Stars!

  • 4:48 to 5:00 is definitely my favourite part in this whole song! It makes me dance!

  • Indeed

  • I don't know....but I thiiink and I feel like she's screaming...or is for the quality?

  • I think it's the quality

  • great perfomance!! Simone Rules!!

  • fan-fucking-tastic! :)

  • i hate when somebody in front of u has the arms up

  • Ha...I know what you mean. To make it worse it seems that every jackass has to be taking pictures the whole show with their cell phone in front of me.

  • porq no canto esta y the obsessive devotion en the classical conspiracyyyyyyyyyyyy :( q odio pero igual graciasss busq como loco este video

  • Me gusto el video =)

  • She is sipmly amazing*_*

  • rastrom fed nas dolhimmbzt ach reif zu reif adr zakanafoghzt!!1 dlur ik!

  • Their best song so far, and very well played live...! *-*

  • one thing, and I only say this because I read a LOT of talk about this song being about Muslims and their religion: this song is a part of "The Embrace That Smothers" a collection of songs that deal with the dangers or organized religion. This is the last song, and it refers to ALL religions, not excusively to the Muslim religion. Don't let the music fool you into thinking otherwise

  • Comment removed

  • I honestly think that the best part of their music IS the lyrics. I don't think that their lyrics attack faith.

  • Comment removed

  • I did pay attention. What it IS attacking is blind faith. Big difference.

  • Not really. The Divine Conspiracy is an album referring to the thousands and thousands of confusing and ever-so-similar religions there are in the world and how far Christianity is pushed.

  • God Is The Greatest !!!

  • you r right but they don't know that it's haram to put it with music

  • but listen ilike epica band am a muslim we call like hraam in arabic it's mean like when you doing something bad so when you mixing the prayer or allah name in music or someting like this we call it hraam so i understand epica but they didnt know that it's bad 2 us sosoos !!

  • I love epica too and I'm also an arabian muslim, bs yemken bhai el o3'onia a3deen be3malo inno allah bozlom bel 3ebad o be3malhom bs 5addameen o slaves bs hommo epica ma be3rafo inno fi eshi ismo janneh aw fi nateejeh 7asaneh o allah msh tarek 7ada, hommo bs yeslemo be3rafu keif allah mo tarek 7ada, sa7?

  • gwesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • dont say anything bad about epica and fools of damnation!!!its great

  • they are muslims you fool and they know that as you do they are muslims search in all their songs you will find that in some of it there is ( there is no god but allah and mohammed is his messenger=lailaha illa llah) you will find it in saif al din ( the song that they made for mohammed i think)

  • Epica aren't Muslims, they don't follow any specific religion, that is what the whole new CD is about, the story of it is that god made religion as a way for man to realize that we aren't different and that all religions are the same. They made the other songs as a criticism of the Muslim faith I believe.

  • I don't think that they are muslim but i think they are atheists (between all the religions) they doesn't believe in any one of religions, one of their songs is for muslims and other is for christians, there is no religion for them

  • and just keep in your mind that almost %22 of people in World are Muslim people, and almost all of them normal people as other religions, simple and equal. and how the fu*k you think that they keep killing, raping, torturing people, and bombarding cities, killing thousands of people can be a Muslim, that prays in the way of humanity and The God, Allah? Dont be silly, this is just redicilous. you dont even know about any other cultures and religions and you are just talking about some shit. damn!

  • because of the muslims the zero had made because of the muslims the revolution of exploration had begin ( the bousole )because of the muslims the algebr had been made mathematiques ( jabir ibn hayyan) because of the muslims the informatique had a start the motter language of developping applications is the algorithme (alkhawarismi who made it)and allah is god you fool its just a translation to the arabic and from now when you talk about muslims you shut the hell and show some respect to us,fuck

  • i am muslim, you probably got me wrong, dickhead ;)

  • Because your religion is killing you, a once great people. An old and noble civilization, almost destroyed by a brainless devotion to a blind god, and now wreaking terrorism on the rest of the world in the name of that god.

  • well its not islam or any other religion thats killing people, its those f*ckheads brainwashed fu*kers who makes other people brains fu*ked up by using same methods and showing religions, especially Islam and using those religions as a "bait" in order to take advantage of people. these killing shits are just for their own benefits, money and leading the world thoughts. (religious orders - such as al-kaide fuck*rs)

    respect any other people around you except these assholes, otherwise you wont get

  • Easy on it. I know a lot of muslim people who are great. The dangerous ones are those who are so brainwashed that they can't see through the teachings... Does Crusades ring any bell? I'm Christian, by the way....

    Anyway, "The idea behind it ["The Divine Conspiracy" Album] is that God created many different religions for humanity to figure out and overcome them so as to discover that, in nature and essence, they were all in fact the same one."

  • let me remind you though that the Crusades weren't started by the Muslims

  • I know that. That's why I used that example.... To remind that the Christians aren't as "clean" as most people think they are...

  • oh ok

    its one of the most common misconceptions

    and the most annoying one too

  • I wonder if it is because they, too, are human...? ;)

  • Comment removed

  • Epica rocks.....

  • its my fav song.. and its very good live

  • esta media disfonica igual suena bien

  • questa canzone è fantastica

  • wow this is so gooood!! i love Epica and i do love Mark and Simone's voices !!!!

  • well I am sure no body ment to humiliate isalm. it is just the band does not know that that music and Al Azan don't come togother.

  • im muslim to

    im wondering why they put "al adan" in the beginnin'

    i think they trying to give us a secret message

  • there's a story behind it, a bit inappropriate though, related but it's not actually an islamic culture, still, it fits the music well

  • This is my favorite song of the new album! [2]

  • im muslim too and i agree with u but it's strange to put " El Ethen "

  • I like this song :)

  • wooow.. that chorus was stunning.. Even better live!

  • EXCELENNT SONG!

  • This is my favorite song of the new album!

  • ne timeas obscurum! (h5)

  • This song KICKS MAJOR ASS!

  • genial

  • Great musical quality :D

  • I know I'm not going to make any friends saying this.. but I saw them last week and Amanda really out does Simone. Not saying Simone is bad or anything...

  • its hard to say because of youtube's quality, but what I've checked the clips, she doesn't fit in the band at all as Simone. but she is the singing teacher of Simone as far as I know?

  • Yeah she's her vocal coach. But I would agree she doesn't fit the band so well. I'm just glad she was willing to help out with the tour.

  • I saw Amanda as well and she was great. I was extremely happy. I mean who else gets to hear Amanda sing. XD But I have to say that Simone's place is in the front of this band. ;)

  • who is Amanda???

  • Amanda is Simone's voice coach and the lead in the Epica choir. ;) She was the one that toured the U.S. because Simone was sick.

  • again??she was sick??:(

  • you know it's a good band when they sound better live than in the studio!

  • i find simones headbanging amazing

    love epica!

  • JESUS,i'm addicted to this band!!Mark's voice is very hot and Simone sings like an angel :X

  • And Mark's voice is breathtaking ;-)!!!

  • Simone is singing very exelent!!!

  • Dude the proper way for you is that not one is allowed to say anything bad or use anything from Islam because they may feel bad and get mad. Well that's a whole lot of BS coming from you and really I'm just about done with you.

  • And that's what makes you brain washed. You have no right to tell a band what they can and can do. You have no right to tell a band what they can and can't use. You don't want any one to say anything bad about Islam and you group all Musliasm into Islam. Oh and it's You not yu.

  • Yet you go around saying what a band can and can't do. You are brain washed so bad it's not even funny. Get your head out out of the ass's of the PC group.

  • And who the fuck are you to tell someone what they can and can't say?

  • It took you that long to come up with a comeback. Man you dumb I forgot all about you.

  • They also slamn Christianity and Judaism. . .critique of religious extremism and blind faith is what the album is about, of course they would critique Islam along with other major religions.

  • This person gets it.

  • Şarkılar çok hisli ve fenaaa metalin damarı bu olsa gerek..

  • But hey I'm not shocked that someone like you dose not get how dangers fundamentalism and extreme religious nuts bag. Go and keep acting like a fool and turning a blind eye to the evils that are in religion. Meanwhile I will keep fighting against people like you who want to do nothing more then speard lies and destory that good people in religion. You are of those extreme religious nut bags.

  • Like I said you are fool and no most people of Islam are not allowed to criticize there religions. Note I said people of Islam not Muslims. It just so happens that most Muslims are part of Islam. But hey your nothing more then a fundamentalist fool.

  • Like I told you before your a close minded fool. Your what Mark is talking about. If it was up to you ever one would have to sit down shut up and not talk about or tell others about the evils and evil people in Islam or the Christians that or evil or the religions that are evil. A Muslim woman was killed for wanting to marry a non-Muslim person and we can't point out how evil and foolish that is. You are a fool.

  • 6:00 -> absolutely amazing...

  • I believe that the band didn't mean to offend any religion BUT do they know what the intro is? Do they know what should they do to make sure they don't offend islam? What muslims do when they hear that intro?

  • well the answer for the later is not clapping the hands of course. I tell you. When muslims hear it they turn off music if its on. Now you should understand that music with it don't come together, becuase muslims believe they must give respect to the name of God when it's rises. In short, muslims don't calp the hands or listen to music when the name of God rises.

  • Mark does not really give a damn about Islam. He dislikes Islam so do most of the other members. Mark dislikes extremist religion and Islam has become extremist a long with a few other religions. He dose not hate other people for what they believe. But he also dose not like things that Islam had done I mean really just look at his home country and what is happening to it.

  • that's true im a muslim and a saudi too but im not gonna deny the fact this song is good and sure the "Athan" was a bit too much but im not offended by it but a lot of my friends were.

    the simple way to fix this is to seperate music from religion

    for E.G. lets take fools of damnation i listen to it a lot and i know that there's tha athan but i don't listen to it from a religious side i just listen to so i can enjoy

  • It sounded alright. :D Simone Simons!

  • my favourite epica song atm.. wow, great sound quality!

  • 5 stars,sublime song!!

  • Extremism is dangerous and evil indeed. Mostly in Islam.

    I am a Christian and a believer, not a extremist tho xD

  • Extremism is dangerous, but there are a lot of Christian extremist out there as well, basically all religions have extremists

  • sorry agore but if that already isnt allowed anymore..what do muslims want then!? go lock urself up in a box and stay in there

  • Hey, he or she have the right to say whatever he thinks. You're not being civilizated attacking someone this way just because he expressed himself. I think you're the one who should lock himself up in a box and stay in there.

  • I understand your point of view, but it's not just about islamic extremism, but all kind of extremism. Christians were extremists too with the inquisition, in middle age.

  • I agree with the person below me. I don't think Epica meant to offend anyone with the intro.

  • lol

  • Then don't listen to it. Epica has the right to do what they want.

  • allahuekber

  • You will see who is fool after you waste your poor life and die.

    Then you will understand who is an UNWORTHY PIG!, a faithful believer or a haughty fool contempter.

  • yes indeed.. is one of best epica songs eva

  • One of the best Epica songs... Ever.

  • I talked to the armor guy last year and back then he was telling me he was making an armor and that he felt the blood of his forefathers flowing in his vains and stuff... :-S

    btw the hair you see flying around in this clip is me :D

  • dont appologise for the camera, let the person in front of you appologise ;)

    and thinking of that, appologise to the person behind you rofl ;)

    great song, great voice, great day, great edition!!!

  • yeah, the person in front of me needs a good slapping. he knocked my camera out my hands during Epica's first song and it got all schizo and crap.

    the person behind me was singing along way out of key so i don't need to apologize, i got back the terror big time lol.

    the festival was fabulous indeed. \m/

  • well besides the music and the (at moments) clean toilets, the best laugh/fun i had was with the Knight dude, did ya see him ;) cracked me up, definatly since he walked around with suitcases after a while in the armor :D

    im gonna go every year for sure! thank god for nightwish(2004) making me aware of this great festival thing

  • lol, yeah i saw him. he was standing in front of me for a while and he was hilarious.

    i'll prolly be going next year as well. totally worth the money.

  • indeed, but they should start with cotton bands!!1!!!1!!!!!1 really ! the paper sucks or my armhair and the day after its gone :'(

  • lol, you spam-whore, you're here too?

    :p

    And the armour guy was hilarious indeed. Though last year he was funnier, dressed like a figurant from 'Interview with a Vampire'

  • EXXXELLENT!!!!! Epica were SOO GOOD on MFVF 5!!!
