Epica - Kingdom Of Heaven (A New Age Dawns - Part V)

[DeeFenestration]

This band deserves a lot more attention than what it gets. This song is perfect.

[dinosauriaqlsexy]

oh god!! what a masterpiece ..and 10:38 >:l jesus christ <3

[AliceShowbiz]

This is a MASTERPIECE with all capital letters! Such a large variety of melodies which perfectly blend in one song! Epica the best *__*

[Sc0rpioX666]

the lyrics Epica comes up with are incredible and the most powerful

[calebandstef]

I just want to say thank you to this band and MaYan (epica's side project).. They are the most hard working people and the fact that they don't make that much money of this makes me sad, but at the same time, I know that they love what they do and that's why I give them so much respect. I feel like I'll never reach their level of thinking, they're all about doing what you love and oneness on earth. They're wise, intelligent, respectable, and even more then that. I love their music..

[calebandstef]

@calebandstef

And they also make me want to do good for others. That's the true beauty of them. They seriously give me hope for a better world.

[trhardcore]

Piękne:) Monumentalne, urozmaicone i z przytupem. Oby Epica nadal się tak rozwijała...

[vendsoin]

A really good song, but a little bit too long to be among the true best in metal

[vicrock12]

7:11 BEST PART O.O

[Ferpa2111]

POUCOS ENTENDEM AS MÚSICAS DESTA BANDA..EU INTERPRETO Á MINHA MANEIRA..ESPERO ESTAR CERTO..

[vicrock12]

9 guys are planning the new world order ¬¬

[Misha33018]

there's 8 people who have great taboos

[TheAdrianus217]

Light creates us all

Pride will make us fall

Life is meaningful

Life delight us all

Light creates us all

Pride divides us all

Life is meaningful

The soul survives us all <3

[Pyro6RAF]

I search "eargasm" and this was the first video that sows up

[TheMurderedDuchess]

I have no idea how are they going to outdo this album ...? But one thing is for sure, the can do it.

March, why are you so far ?

[sangheili1024]

They should have tacked on just one more second to this song :P

[GregSK2]

@sangheili1024 If they did I think they would have destroyed the world with pure awesomeness.

[Jamiebaker15]

@GregSK2 I'm still shocked that this song didn't split the earth in two in the first place! 

[UNFRGVN]

@sangheili1024 the hundred years' war? 1337.

[LamentationsEnd]

Fucking amazing, this is just 13 minutes of pure metal in your face >.> \m/

[Sc0rpioX666]

have to say, one of the best songs i have ever heard by any band

[diamadtiel]

One of my favorites ever, can't wait for their new album hopefully next year

[DarksideModerator27]

These guys know how to write killer music. The instrumentals are awesome. Jansen and Simmone are in perfect harmony. The lyrics are great and pose a great discussion for us. Amazing!

[Industrialdrumer]

Por las barbas de odin,esta rola y la de the phantom agony me ponen piel chinita siempre q las escucho XD l..l,

[Mrcalitax]

With this song i just punch my dad in shoulder

he punch me back and broke my arm xD

[TheBrotherNature1]

Watch it in 480p, such a huge sound difference :O

[diver359]

@TheBrotherNature1 even better than that, was watching them do this track live, it was awesome, long live Epica !!!!

[abdielfromhell]

@TheBrotherNature1 Thanks!! hahaha I had thought my headphones were fucked up already but it was because of the quality sound.

[AquaKool2307]

@TheBrotherNature1 Somebody give this guy a medal.

[lucb1e]

@TheBrotherNature1 I thought 360p and 480 have the same audio quality, just a different video bitrate? (240p is horrible though, especially when listening with heaphones which cost more than 5 bucks. I don't get why anyone still uploads that stuff...)

[TTGEcLiPzE]

@lucb1e 240p is for people with shit computers or internet

[SatanicPWNage]

i bought the album on october the 16th in 2009 ...... and after (nearly) 2 years , this song still is my favourite song ... epica changed my life.... the lyrics of their songs are so true.... thank you epica ,for making the worlds best music.... (i'm from austria so please don't kill me for my bad english xD)

[sharamandarata]

@SatanicPWNage hi,i read the lyrics,but i was confused..1st they where neglecting God and supporting atheism and science,and then they started supporting light which is God yet neglecting atheism,please if you understood the meaning explain it to me,thanks :D

[SatanicPWNage]

@sharamandarata ...hmm it's hard to describe because my english is not the best but i'll try it. .... I think they want to say that we shouldn't strickly separate religion and science. We should combine it to get new views of our world. ... the song is like a little try to make a world without war... because everybody knows that the most reasons for war are the firm conviction of the religions... combining science and religion would create a world with lesser or no wars. thats my opinion

[sharamandarata]

@SatanicPWNage wow good interpretation,i think what you said is right..and they said "We create the world around us God is every living soul"this means that they believe that god didn't create the world,we did,yet they don't believe in a personal god..so i think that this song supports atheism and not only combining religion with science,nevertheless believing in science only..but i think its a great song,its my best :D..and "cry for the moon" too

[Tale2261]

@sharamandarata It's mostly saying we're responsible for our actions and their consequences. And many of the light and death references are from the Bardo Thodol, kind of the book of the dead from Tibet.

It's supporting open-midedness and acceptance, while confronting our own beliefs and constatly questionning ourselves.

Also supporting the urgent need for us to stop thinking as a 'me' and start thinking as an us. thus the ''We're not alone, We are all one''

[Tale2261]

@sharamandarata We create the world around us: What we do is what makes stuff happen, there is no providence.

God is every living soul. This is an occult belief mainly meaning that we are a whole, and not only individuals.

[Tale2261]

@sharamandarata The whole 'new age dawns' is about taking hold of our lives and not just letting it happen.

[sharamandarata]

@Tale2261 ok but believing in you self and comprehending difficult problems doesn't mean neglecting God

[Tale2261]

@sharamandarata He never meant to neglect god, but to neglect and abandon religion, which is totally different. You can believe in whatever you want, as long as you genuinly and honestly question it and think about it.

[sharamandarata]

@Tale2261 yes cz all wars and troubles in this world are because of religion,i agree with him in this point

[Misha33018]

@sharamandarata

epica neglects god, anyhow...

[sharamandarata]

@Misha33018 Epica=atheists ...yet i love their songs,and i support most of them.but i don't support neglecting God

[Misha33018]

@sharamandarata

it's clear your point of view.

but i support this too :-)

[vampirichild]

@sharamandarata i support it as well but i dont follow your same path of religion :) and i respect yours

[sharamandarata]

@vampirichild i sometimes have some doubts about religion and the existence of God.but i prefer to illusion my self about an afterlife or heaven,than trying to accept the fact that i will live 70 years and die

[POUIUIHUGGF]

@vampirichild mine is a goddess called earth and it is what you and i live on

[vampirichild]

@POUIUIHUGGF so is mine XD

[DennChooch]

@sharamandarata noones neglecting God. if anything, God's neglecting us.

[GregSK2]

Almost 40,000 views guys! Thanks so much! :D

[sharamandarata]

@GregSK2 man this song deserves 40 million views..but people these days are def

[Misha33018]

@sharamandarata

def is a mixture between "deaf" and "deficient"...

i totally agree

[isopod666]

@GregSK2 nope, almost 60,000 viewers! ;-)

[DrAkEaCtInIUm]

Que majestuosidad de cancion

[bubblanz]

This is true love...

[MrSilvertale]

OMG I LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!

[MarFish101]

9:33 is the best part

[pcrvg0808]

Bohemian Rapsody is obsolete !

[Cardsharkofsilver]

EPIC does not even begin to describe this... This is not a song, its a spiritual experience!

[DaughterofRaistlin]

At 00:54 Epica grasped my heart.... and has not let go

[MaievZabuldizhnaya]

On 5:49 I really hoped he will say "du hast")

[MaievZabuldizhnaya]

To me it's like a modern symphony)

It's absolutely beautiful *_____*

[95heavymetalchick]

so proud to be dutch atm C:

[EuroHawk777]

such talent damn!!!!!!!!

[JakobNL69]

The worst part is at 13:36...

[Fayt713]

@JakobNL69 Lmao !

[Emokidi1]

Saauuu geilooooo ! <3

[TheOriginalFalco]

best part is from 7:11 to 7:54

[TheOriginalFalco]

4 people don't understand the word "epic"

[DarkSoulzFTW]

4 people must be fucking retarded

[ludek59]

@DarkSoulzFTW

that or they simply didn't like the song...

[pcrvg0808]

Dutch !

(again)

[MelstarfireGrayson]

Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Miley Cirus and Selena Gomez disliked this song.

[GnomeWarrior85]

this song is a multiple orgasm! at least I imagine a multiple orgasm being like this song... ;P

[dpchiko17]

@GnomeWarrior85 Yo dawng, we heard you like...

[LastStand2010]

Holy gym-shorts, Batman! This song is the shit!

[distroyerization]

XD seeeeeee yeaaaaaa

[jeg622]

awesome song I love the lyrics :)

[souldefier]

The intro riff made me go "holy fuck" the first listen!

[dpchiko17]

No words for this song, I just can't write something about it

[calebandstef]

man this is all ive been listening for the past little while.. now im learning it on guitar, dope song!

[15milesintsnow]

@TiagoAssassin Har, I see what you did there, you cunning trickster you!... ;-) It's true though, the whole song is awesome. It'd be impossible to highlight any particular phrase in it.

[Zalisonia]

Thank you SO MUCH for uploading this amazing piece of epic art in one piece!

[GregSK2]

@Zalisonia You're welcome! :D. Sorry for the extremely late reply, I somehow managed to miss your comment. :S

[DamnIlikeBacon]

I freaked out at the part which was like: "It's not your Time... ...You'll Have to go back!"

[SatanicPWNage]

i just had the biggest "WTF- Moment" in my life..... epica rulez \m/

[FlameOfHell8ITA8PL]

@SatanicPWNage You is just a simple idiot...

[renynzea]

Is it my imagination, or is 0:22 to 0:53 sampled from a video game? I seem to recall that exact same song in some version of Final Fantasy. (Great song, the intro is just driving me nuts.)

[SHADOWGOTICIII]

ITS NOT YOUR TIME, U HAVE TO GO BACK!

[roviscoyt]

Does jansen really has to sing? Simone as a beautiful voice and then... in the middle of this perfection... her he comes! Spoiling a good music! He should compose and not sing at all! I'm listening to epica for about 3 days, and I've listened to all the songs more them once. Now, I want to by an album. I've created an Excel sheet where I introduce the songs were he sings, and I'm buying the album with less jansen and more simone!

[itonamichan]

@roviscoyt Seriously? What makes Epica sound so amazing is the combination of Simone's really crystal clear voice with Jansen's screamo parts. With only one or the other; their music wouldn't sound as eerie and mystical and it wouldn't carry as much heaviness to it. Could you seriously imagine Simone singing the "go back" part? With her soprano voice? It'd be like lolwut? Each band member in Epica plays a vital role, change anything and they're not Epica anymore.

[GregSK2]

@itonamichan Definitely. His voice is just part of the magic.

[xoxILoveCatsxox]

I love Epica, and they're easily my all-time favourite band, and I love all of their albums, my favourite being either "The Divine Conspiracy" or "Design Your Universe". Simone Simons is my absolute favourite female singer (of course, Roy Khan is my favourite male one!). :D

[mkillam53]

It took a bit for me to realize how epic this song truly is. It has become a favorite ....especially from 8:30 to the end \m/

[hollowpoint249]

sigh...i wish this song was more epic. (lol)

[calebandstef]

9:30 - 12:02

my favorite part by far.. so inspiring but at the same time gets you pumped in the gym...... Love this band, first time I heard this song, downloaded all their albums, and they became my favorite band.. this is all i can even listen to now. EPIC

[GregSK2]

LOL! I guess you really like that part, theadrianus217.

[TheAdrianus217]

5:04 - 5:34 Are Awesome :D

[TheAdrianus217]

05:04 - 05:34 :D :D

[TheAdrianus217]

05:04 - 05:34 <3 <3 <3 <3

[dpchiko17]

@gatto557 These are mine. ^^

[zayn7]

When this song ended the first time listening to it, I was sitting wide-eyed thinking "Holy shit."

[GregSK2]

@zayn7 Weren't we all. Lol. Absolutely amazing song.

[AnaidAsor]

thank you for uploading the full song! :)

[GregSK2]

@AnaidAsor Thank YouTube for increasing their video time limit (: Lol.

[AnaidAsor]

@GregSK2 Haha, indeed. ;)

[Musicluffah]

I showed this song to my class the other day.

Hope they'll recover from the shock soon.

[dpchiko17]

@Musicluffah LOL, it was so hard?

[ankeww]

Wooooow, wow woow wow!!! Que majestuosidad de canción, joder!!!

[GregSK2]

@ankeww ¡Estoy totalmente acuerdo! Lo siento si mi español es malo, todavía estoy aprendiendo.

[ankeww]

@GregSK2 Je je, si es increíble la canción, y no te preocupes, tu español es excelente!!

[PetruchoCarlos]

@GregSK2 es perfecto :3

[jhoncaful]

los mas progresivo de epica y a pesar de ser un temita largo es bueno

[strych97]

1:23 to about 3:10 is some of the most metal shit I have ever heard.

That guitar riff is just nasty.

[Rocknium]

@strych97 Those are some Desert Arabic notes mixed with METAL it sends chills in your spine, I listen only to bands that incloud those in their track. (y)

[strych97]

@Rocknium Now that you mention it, I can hear the "Arabic of it". What are some of these other bands that do this sort of thing?

Thanks!

[Rocknium]

@strych97 1) MYRATH (Song number 2 Confession) 2) Scorpions (Song The sails of charon) 3) Therion (THe rise of sodom and gomorrah) 4) Sawlegen (Streets Of Agrabah) 5) Pentagrame (1000 in the east land) all those combined you'll find tons of those notes, adn a lot of other bands use it too i just couldn't list them all. :)

[SupersonicUpMachine]

@strych97 You've probably heard this song already, but if you like the sort of Middle Eastern sound, check out Fools of Damnation by Epica if you haven't already. =)

[Wheeburger]

@clintmmartin Why in the hell are you on this video saying that? I know the song has to do with religion, but seriously, that's not needed here.

[GregSK2]

@Wheeburger Yeah it was innapropriate, I removed it.

[xanox02]

Been a while since i first heard this song, and i'm still listening to it, its one of rare songs thats as a great and pleasant complexity in it. I just love it, and nearly all Epica songs are as great as this song is. - From Canada :)

[aguilaix]

this group has a new age phlisosofy. also metal is getting spiritual...

[NightWishOwning]

This song is a masterpiece. When the first time I've heard it, it instantly moved up to my 5 favorite songs. Actually this one stands at #1. A 13 ( almost 14 ) minutes song, man I can listen this every day like 100000000000 times! It never gets bored. The riffs are epic, the keyboards and drums are epic.. Just everything is epic! Epica = EPIC!

[TheSERGEAR]

wunderschönnnn

[jftfyu]

1 person did not get into the kingdom of heaven

[bubbles3325]

@jftfyu now 3 lol

[jftfyu]

@bubbles3325

LMAO! Who could not like this song? >3> Its epic-a! LOL

[WolfgangWhiplash]

Glad to see they're making metal riffs now instead of orchestras drowning the guitar sound.

[derik708]

ok whos the fag that disliked this?

[DenisseSimonsKruspe]

@derik708 hahaha such a slut who disliked this! but realize that's it's only 1!!

[HigherHighSymphony]

@derik708 Why do you assume that it was a fag?? I'm gay and this Song is like my Life!!! :D I think it was a bull shit rapper or something like that xDD

[PablinBombinGuitar]

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HEAR THIS SONG, AND IT IS MY FAVORITE SONG NOW!!!!

[666Arise]

Love It EPICA are just EPIC!!!!!!!

[SuperCarther]

great

[therealjordiano]

13:03 is my personal favourite.. however it is ruined after that, because the song ends :( 

[FedorCroCop44]

rap sucks

[chicavampiro]

@FedorCroCop44

just shut up! I mean, this is such a different kind of music and you like this, so what does rap has to do here?

[HashashinOS]

if it was just a tiny bit longer, they could have made a new album out of this :D

excellent song

[princecrash05]

This song instantly moved up among my top 5 favorite songs, the first time I heard it.

[Jafje]

@princecrash05

Same here! =D

[Antobetty88]

@princecrash05 SAME HERE! Even if I listen to another kind of music :D

[DiosGX]

@princecrash05 Really? I actually disliked it so much I didn't listen to it for months. It wasn't until recently that it really began to hit me.

[dpchiko17]

@princecrash05 Same thing!

[xanox02]

One of the best, if not the best song i've heard for a long time. Lyrics are awsome, i've read them twice. This is a masterpiece !

[Eymankind]

Seriously some good shit right here \m/

[Lanullafacente]

*brividi*

[sasho88]

this is epica's greatest song.

[Nighty31282]

there is no need for words ... shut up and listen ... I can´t get enough of this song!

[andresroyal]

haberlo escuchado en vivo fue una experiencia maravillosa

[jeallen0]

saw epica live last weekend. BY FAR top 3 shows ive been to.... this song, BY FAR their most epic.

[AxeCrow]

@jeallen0 I just saw them this past Friday night, and I agree. They are amazing live, and this song is pure AWESOME.
