EPICA - Consign To Oblivion - Live at the Zenith (OFFICIAL VIDEO) 

Ladies and gentlemen This is the highest level of the symphonic metal.

People sometimes criticize how Simone's voice has changed over time, but ultimately, I love how she's evolved. She's grown so much from mimicking Tarja on The Phantom Agony and now has a sound of her own. She's received a combination of pop and classical training, and her voice reflects that. :)

Old song, new energy, this performance is incredible!

I cried three times when I saw them in Lisbon. I met Simone and the boys, she hugged me while I cried like a baby. What a perfect band. Perfect artists! To ten more years! A Legion member for life ❤️

I've watched this video over 20 times, and I must say that this is one of the best musical performances I have ever seen.

I'm a simple man. I see Epicas new live video I press "Like" and add it to playlist.

I’m actually very impressed with how much they have improved live, and yes before some of you attack me, I am aware that Simone’s voice has changed. I think it’s changed for the better and they will all continue to improve.

Man that drummer and the bass player killed it

Someone in 2024? Getting ready for next tour?

NEW OFFICIAL LIVE DVD PLEASE!!!! lml ❤❤🔥🔥❤❤

Seeing this song performed live was like a religious experience. You could feel every drum beat in your toes!

It's been hard for me to find modern metal that I would want to put on repeat. Until I found Epica that is.

The real quality of bands is shown in live performances ... EPICA is truly epic.

I still Can't believe I'm seeing this band tomorrow. Truely a dream come true !

Does anyone else think the live performance is better than the album track?

Most epic song I've ever heard... So energetic, emotional and passionate..... That's one of the best songs by Epica, if not the best one...

Arien is so underrated

insane onstage chemistry... those guys are family.

Her voice is stunning, and the drummer is insane! I've never been a fan of the "growling/screaming" vocals, but the contrast works. Nice performance, and very musical. I like it.

all these years later and this song still gives me goosebumps

that ending with Mark's growls and Simones vocals at the very end = amazing

This song only has one problem. It's not long enough.

I can barely describe the sensation of listening to Epica. I'm joyful

Simone's come such a long way. She really stands out in this song as a pleasant calm in the middle of this metal chaos, and she couldn't have done that in the early days, and her sound is so perfect for the band. Love ya, Epica!

EPICA ES UNA BANDA ESPECTACULAR...ESTE TEMA ES TREMENDO...UNA DE LAS MEJORES BANDAS SIMPHONICA DEL MUNDO.....QUIEN NO DELIRA CON ESTE TEMA....TE VUELA EL CEREBRO.....AGUANTE EPICA...AGUANTE EL METAL.....

One of the best live version of consing to oblivion. Awesome!

“At the zenith of wisdom, no defying myself...”.

I clicked the like button before watching it because it's Epica.

Final lyrics when Simone comes back are crazy phenomenal

Epica is an awesome group, I saw them first time in Greece, when they played in front of few people and the played like it was 20k+ arena. Massive respect.

After so many years this song never gets boring

LYRICS: How can we let this happen and Just keep our eyes closed ‘till the end The only thing that counts is the prosperity of today Most important to us is that our bills get paid Our good intentions have always been delayed How can we let this happen and Just keep our eyes closed ‘till the end When we will stand in front of heaven's gate It will be too late! Try to unlearn all that you've learnt Try to listen to your heart No, we can't understand the universe By just using our mind We are so afraid of all the things unknown A must we appease is the lust to get laid Nothing really matters, just devouring our prey Our good intentions have always been delayed so Our generous acts have always come too late We are so afraid of all the things unknown We just flee into a dream that never comes true Low to the ground we feel safe Low to the ground we feel brave Oblivisci tempta quod didicisti Open your eyes; we're not in paradise How can't you see, this stress is killing me Fulfil your dreams; life is not what is seems We have captured time So time made us all hostages without mercy Seemingly generous fooling ourselves Selfishly venomous time tells Too much thinking goes at the cost of all our intuition Our thoughts create reality But we neglect to be! So we're already slaves of our artificial world We shouldn't try to control life But listen to the laws of nature We all think we're generous But we only fool ourselves The only thing that matters is Our way and our vision Selfishly we're venomous But you know the time tells us There is more to life than our Higher positions, race for perfection Better, faster We must return to the laws of the nature Free ourselves from madness.

Masterpiece!!!!!!!!

Every track I hear by them ... it's like the music reaches into your soul and sparks it alive. It's a perfect mix of beauty, brutal, dynamic.... they'll make you feel more emotions in a 8 minute song than the entire film industry in a year. 😭🤘

Wow, Mark fucking delivered

Can we say this is epic?

Epica became old nightwish , totally epic

Simone is the most beautiful metal singer of all time. Change my mind.

The atmosphere building up before song kicks off.. Amazing performance

O Brasil ama vcs!

I still fail to comprehend how something so epic can be written.. incredible. How do they do it?

The more I watch this.. The better it sounds. Epic!

Wish we could see more of Rob's amazing bass playing

Who ever disliked this has no soul...

OK, ok, ok. Need to calm down every time after this one! FAVORITE Epica's performance ever. I can feel the music in every part of my soul. Thank you, Epica! 🤘

¡¡¡Ya era hora para un video de Consign to Oblivion!!! Tremendo tema! De mis favoritos.

Thank you, RU-vid for the commercial you are slapping in our faces in the middle of the song.

This live performance is a masterpiece.

It amazes how many different approaches this song has when it is sang by Simone. Her performances may varie from show to show but in the end she is incredible for trying out "new stuff" in the middle of a show. That's how I interpret all the dislike about her voice not sticking to the studio version. Must have been such an amazing show in Paris, I envy those who went

Holy shit, does Coen have a sliding keyboard?! Awesome!

I'm not able to choose my fav live version of this song! They are evolving, getting better and raising the bars!

An epic work by Epica. Great atmosphere in the audience. The music super. Simone's singing phenomenal. Simone's outfit galactic.

I'm surprised the views arent higher, because this was one epic live performance!!

This performance is not comparable to the ones they used to do, back in the days of "The Phantom Agony" and "Consign to Oblivium". This on is way better. They got better!

a suavidade e feminilidade da Simone ficou show demais nessa banda. ARTE

Excellent band epica with amazing vocals by the legend of simone simons what amazing singer and fantastic icon with amazing guitarlist and fantastic drummering 🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻🎸🎸🎸🎤🥁🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎼🎼

MASTERPIECE !!!!!!!

Epica are in a league of their own. Can't wait to see them twice on their UK tour in April. 😁

Such beauty that reflects when they pretend to be shocking.They are.

I saw them at Spain and this song was incredible. Their performance are in a very good level. I love all the instruments, Simone's voice and of course the chorus. ;)

My favorite song! 🤘

This song is a masterpiece!

I found this about two years ago, and still to this day this is by far my favorite live performance I've seen!

I don't listen to metal too often lately but I can't stop watching this clip. Musically it's really amazing but what I enjoy even more is the chemistry between you on stage and the fun you have playing together. All the best from Poland!

They always come back to Paris, I always come back to this masterpiece.

These guys really have some fun in their performances. I love it.

This is the best song of Epica! Lyrics, melody, choir, grunts, everything is a masterpiece!

I love how much fun they're having while performing. Great song and awesome band. I hope I get to see them live in USA next year.

From all those years listening to Epica I think this live performance is the best.. and I don't mean only this song, but in general

Best song of the best band ever

Their metal and the contrast of her voice works for me.

Let’s get this to one million+ views before 2019 ends!

This is my favourite song. The drums are amazing!!

This never gets old I love it

Epica never gets boring at all

This song is the perfect conclusion after an hour of concert

I love this song and I am delighted that you have made this video that this incredible sound is very dear to the studio👏👏👏✊✊

This band is at its best during LIVE performances...I simply LOVE THEM!!!

EPICA IS AWESOME!!! THEY HIT HEAVY!!!

Greatest performance ever of my favorite song from Epica!

Saw that in Manaus here in Brazil, I was crying to death, their concert worth every cent of the ticket.

Goosebumps

Best live performance of this beautiful song! 🫶

They were so fantastic in USA tour recently. The band is in top form

My first time ever hearing them. That was EPIC! Can't wait to explore this band. I'm a fan!!!

THAT WAS EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love watching this performance specifically. Something about the way they are all moving in sync with the lights behind them at 5:00 is amazing to watch.

So far the best live perfomance.

This music very incredible very very beautiful 😍😍

OMG!! What amazing !! Force,fury, charm and sweetness all in one song!!

Ultimate performance, this is a supergroup - the world hasn't seen in decades. fronted by one of the greatest and angelic vocalists ever

9:10 damn her voice in this part makes me fell for her over and over.

I am privilege to witness this live that was one of the most brutal mosh pits I been to

Oh my fucking God... this is so awesome... I pray for God don't take me before I see go to an Epica live

LOCURA ABSOLUTA!!!

I think all symphonic metal live performances are way too much "art" to handle!!! 😍😍😍😍

Epic .. truly epic

This is simply amazing! The melody, the riffs, Simones voice, Marks screams, everything is so good and EPIC!!

ESTE TEMA REALMENTE ES UNA OBRA MAESTRA....ES PERFECTO.... SEGUIRA POR LA ETERNIDAD...NUNCA MORIRA.....

I swear, this is one of the hardest symphonic metal song to be used for 'try not to headbang' challenge
