This is honestly my favorite Epica song! I just love how they made the intro & outro truly Symphonic, and all the good stuff in between was Symphonic Metal. I can honestly say that Symphonic Metal is my favorite genre of Metal hands down.
La canción esta bien y desde el 3:09 es excelente!, la voz de Simone es lo maximo, pero la guitarra como que no la llena no convence mucho le falta un buen solo de guitarra con feeling mm no sé.,.,,,
mmmm que estupidez pensar q es copia de nightwish para empezar nightwish no escribio the phamton of the opera y en segundo lugar las tematicas de las dos canciones son distintas Tarja y Simone son buenas ambas exelentes cantantes en su genero propio no le veo el parecido hay bandas grandes q tienen titulos de sus musicas con palabras q sacan de otras bandas y no x eso son copias aguante EPICA !!!!

kreo ke hablo por mucha gente cuando digo ke simone simons tiene una vox angelikal ke hace ke mi alma se apegue mas a este tipo de musika i love epica
The great instrumental at end of the song beginning around 7:00 min reminds me on a movie soundtrack or something but i don't know where it was. It's very similiar... anyone an idea?
@weeMAN1300 thank you very much that's it, of course Star Wars... i thought on Star Wars too and heard some things here but i always thought it was from the first movies and not the new ones, so i didn't found something. Now i'm happy to know it ;)
my God can people stop complaining about the growling? Good grief. Every bit of music production requires emotion, and it isn't easy! Growling is a feature (to some), and a huge benefit (to many). Without the growls of this band, you would have never visited this video at all.
@elotroquevino I am listening to it because Simone has a good voice and some of their songs are pretty good. As I wrote I only hate the growling parts, the rest is great. To me Epica would be better without that :) And when I comment a song I actually comment the song not write jokes and that I`m listening to this in 2011. :)
@kiks740 the thing you have to realize is the opera style voice that simone does and screaming are 2 side of the same coin, one (opera) is a extremely clear voice, crystalline with as little rasp as possible, and screaming is the opposite mostly/all rasp, they create a contrast , her voice would not sound quite the same in the song if not for his growls, i listen to lots of bands that scream as well as to this/nightwish/hb . I Love both styles.Though i wish they had a BETTER growler myself.
@carltoncanon to be honest i dont like most European screamers, i think its a culture thing more than anything, both this guy, and nightwish scream the same way, also bands like Dark Lunacy have a similary scream, i like screams from bands like august burns red, for today, impending doom (second/third album),the devil wears prada, asking alexandria, emery,eyes set to kill. its been a real block for me on some bands that come from Europe. coarse it may just be the genre.
@deadby1000cuts Well thank you for your analisis but I don`t like it anyway. If you`re going to growl than growl good right? And I adore Nightwish and never have heard a growl in their songs! Mark just screams or sings... right? :)
@deadby1000cuts After I wrote what you just read I went to hear the planet hell. And I think that that is quite different than what this guy is doing, it actually sounds appropriate. And I wouldn`t call that growling but I`m not sure :)
@kiks740 Epica Wouldn't exist without , Mark ( the growling guy " LoL) 'cause he formed the band ... But anyway is just your opinon ,,, sorry about that ! :D
@kiks740 i think the growling parts add dark emotion to the music, and i feel it is a necessary component to what they try to convey in their music, the darkness that is human corruption, you may not like the growling parts, but some of the best lyrics are done by the growling parts and i think the voice is spot on when trying to convey the messages
Maybe it's just me, but every time I watch this video, I get chills up and down my spine. I now have the CD, but there is something special about watching this video... it's so riveting.. I can't pull my eyes away.
the final is fabulous...A similar approach is in Clavicula Nox, Therion
