RISE AGAIN - Mike & Ginger React to Apocalyptica ft. Epica 

Simone is our real life Ariel and The Siren in metal! Her beautiful crystal clear soprano voice always brings some tears in my eyes, goosebumps all over and chills down the spine. And this song "Rise" was already so go freaking good from Apocalyptica, but with Simone they upgrade this song to a masterpiece. For sure Simone will join them on stage when they are tour together with Epica, i am so lucky to have a ticket for their show in Amsterdam. Can't wait to see Epica again for the 3rd time in 7 months and to see Apocalyptica for the first time.

Take a look at this song played live in London it will blow your minds.

Goddess Simone has the most beautiful soprano, and she's really gorgeous too. 🙂 She took the song to the whole new level. I think you should do Epica more often because you're missing out on a lot of great stuff. 😉 How about some older stuff now? Anything from Paradiso 2006!

You are so right, Ginger, Simone has such a beautiful voice and combined with the cello’s, pure magic. ❤️🤘🎸🎻🇦🇺

Apocalyptica (Finland) Always AMAZING+ Simone

Love the Apocalyptica and the music they make. There is something so beautiful with that sound... And Simone just brings it.

Absolutely outstanding. Oh, did you see there's a collab between Epica, Charlotte Wessels & Myrkur? "Sirens - Of Blood And Water"

This song has grown up for me, beautiful melodies and of course delivery from Simone

Ginger your face says it all!! Chills upon chills! Simone is the archangel of vocals and still not fully realized even by fans. EPICA has been putting out quite a bit of music in 2022. Do you know of their new amazing EP of songs that are out of the "box" for Epica in collabs on every one of the songs with various bands and artists...it is SO damn good!! This band defies the norm that a band typically peaks after 5-10 years, but Epica after 20 years keeps getting better all along the way. Great reaction Ginger and Mike. May I suggest one that is very heavy now in the collab EP, but Simone brings the beauty in it as well...The Great Apocalypse is name of song....powerful and beautiful.

Apocalptica is a CELLO-based symphonic metal band who collaborate with Epica, Rammstein and other metal bands on stage and in the studio......they are excellent.....and Simone Simons is a diva

I heard the original instrumental version live back in April and it was incredibly moving. These new lyrics are perfect for the song. It was exactly how I felt at that moment.

Such a beautiful song by Apocalyptica & Simone, you should check some balads from Epica Dreamscape is a great one. 🙌🏻❤

Wow! I absolutely loved this! ❤️🎼🎵🎸🎶🎷🪕🎹🎧

Amazing eargasm, Simone + cellos is all I needed today

Good choise Mike, beautiful song. Strange but still beautiful video too.

Epica recently released ' The Alchemy Project' which has 7 new songs on it. I love this song, my wife doesn't like the video ( it's creepy) but likes the song. A couple of Apocalyptic songs to check out is ' Strong Enough' and ' Broken Pieces'. A lot of good songs on the 7th Symphony album

Epica and Apocalyptica will be together on tour in Europe, coming weeks. Hope to see then 'Rise Again' live with Apocalpyptica and Simone.

Beautiful song. Thank you for the reaction. Love from the Netherlands !

Hi Mike, Ginger, here is one of my all time favourites from EPICA, Simone sounds incredible and I love the way they used the choirs in so many different ways in this song, on the EPICA YT channel: EPICA - The European Enigma Aftermovie - Natural Corruption

Just love this song. A beautiful combination 💞🤘🏻💞🤘🏻💞🤘🏻 Had a real Yo Yo Ma feel at the end 👌🏻

Yay Epica 🥰🎶 This one gets me everytime, so good

Best words you said Mike: "Let it go"

3 weeks to go and I get to see both bands for the first time, they are touring together in Europe, I imagine they will do this song together live, I can't wait, we have had tickets for this show for 3 years and it's finally happening woohooo 🙃

Simone's voice matches this song perfectly. As others have mentioned they've released an EP of collabs. Listen to Sirens - Blood and Water. It's wonderful.

this was my first time i hear this song. i get wake up when looking amazing epica live with apocalyptica they rivers song and then i notice that they make this song also. i come here and i get great great song and great great reaction like always. this band never make bad song and they always best of the best vocalist like now simone. thanx and have awesome weekend.

If you're looking for more Epica videos to react to, they recently released some videos from their show at Paradiso in Amsterdam way back in 2006! You get to see the band all young and baby-faced. I recommend you start with "Facade of Reality," which--in case you're not sold already--features 21-year-old Simone in a black corset with red flames.

Just discovered you guys! And you both rock! We also reacted to this song and we were blown away! Keep on at it! 🖤🙌

Someone recently commented that Simone is terrifyingly beautiful. Yeah, that works.

Perfect

Might suggest 2 songs for you to try out...both shot LIVE at MadLife, GA in 2021....BEFORE the haircuts....Titles are : Let me go...and Queen of Hearts....same stage as "Vertigo" was shot at...

Simone looks so beautiful just like an angel! i think you skipped a song mike and ginger, i think you love it. EPICA - "Sirens - Of Blood And Water" feat. Charlotte Wessels & Myrkur (Official Music Video) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-svGQ-q9gx68.html

If God made anything better than Simone he kept it for himself.

What do you guys think about the lyrics? 🙌🏼

Ren has a new song. Hi Ren. It a must listen. Please. peace ✌️

Not to be _too_ nit-picky, but this should have been titled Apocalyptica ft. _Simone Simons,_ or even Apocalyptica ft. _Simone Simons of Epica,_ not Apocalyptica ft. Epica.
