Mark Jansen is GOD!! ;)

I can't stop wondering how a human being can compose a song that lasts for 15 minutes without only one boring second.... such an intense song that gives you chilles for 15 minutes without a break! And so many completely diffrent parts that fit together so perfectly.... Only a real Genius can compose such a song!

bumped this comment to the top. true!

Please, don't depreciate either Epica or Nightwish, because you're hurting people who like them both... they're different, so there's no need to compare them. Comparing different bands is as pointless as comparing the refridgerator and the microwave and trying to determine which is better.

@krisbudz14 male choir, they're throat singing :) it's a special technique because it's made by humans, but sounds like an australian instrument, called didgeridoo. It's not a guess, it was Mark who said it's a choir, in a behind the scenes video.

[Jhartsock123]

Every time I hear this song, I think she says "Answers to the Great Shamu" ( A popular Orca whale in SeaWorld)

[Archilolify]

13 minutes of pleasure

[krisbudz14]

What is the instrument at the beginning (0:00-0:16)?

[YannisSalutatOmnes]

@VanillaPink13, Mozart.

[SlightEcho]

I thought they remade the song FROM kingdom of heaven

@AntipaladinPedigri the microwave, it cooks my foods.... I had to be a goof ball, you are so right about comparing the two bands.

[Lucy1Nyuu]

now you guys are fighting over refridgerator vs. microwave? LOL

[rockgirl18241]

i saw epica last year... and i literally had an orgasm when that song entered at the part "children of the light".

[Aizsaule]

@AgilePeanut damn right, screw the refrigerator peasants!

[angiemusic994]

Mark Jansen, i love your music. Simone Simons, i love your voice.

[DeathMagick1]

Just so much awesome :)

[vnixned2]

@VanillaPink13 and then the most awesome vocals from Simone and Mark combined just makes this song HEAVEN

[wantedcode93]

this is one of the long-length symphonic masterpieces ever written!

[CritiquingCricket]

People need to open up their eyes and see that great composers lie within the metal scene. Mark is a wonderful composer.

[Aussie50]

@AgilePeanut you can make things explode in a microwave so I have to agree ;)

[AgilePeanut]

@CycleSeth Grow up! A microwave is better!

[CycleSeth]

@AntipaladinPedigri yea...everyone knows a refridgerator is better.

[dpchiko17]

@MobileHomeSPIN And that gives a chill in the spine...

[Aussie50]

OMFG this is Epic!, rarely do I find music this good!

[MargitHjukse]

one word: masterpiece!

[MobileHomeSPIN]

@Musicluffah

Creepy voices ;-)

It's the ancient art of throat singing. Like Tibetan monks or mayan priests do.

Not an alpenhorn I'm pretty sure of it, I have a friend that teaches throat singing and that's what it sounds like.

[Sonofmetal16]

@VanillaPink13 I'll take into account dude XDD

[jacquelaughter]

@VanillaPink13
