Epica are generally heavier than Nightwish, fusing symphonic music with elements of Thrash, Death Metal and Industrial Metal. Floor became known to Marko when they both guested with another Dutch band you should investigate - DELAIN. And you can hear Floor, her sister Irene and Simone (and others) on "Valley Of The Queens" by Dutch Progressive Metal collective AYREON. They've done several albums with them.

Stabat Mater Dolorosa Epica ft the Valkyrie Goddess version (female titans singing)

@Beus38 4 года назад

Just a few bits from me to give you a better picture :) Floor Jansen and Simone Simons are both Dutch and have been close personal friends for many years - I guess it radiates from them all through the stage, too. This has been filmed at Epica's Retrospect show where they celebrated their 10th anniversary, IIRC. Normally, they play just like Nightwish do, with pre-recorded orchestral backing tracks. This time, it was a one-off show where they hauled the whole live orchestra & choir with them. Nightwish have also been considering to get the orchestra live, but there were two reasons not to, so far: as Tuomas himself said a few years ago - everybody is doing it nowadays and they never wanted to do what everybody does (or something along these lines). Indeed, quite many bands who cooperate with an orchestra, take the orchestra onstage for (some) live shows, too, so it already wouldn't be anything shocking, unheard of or even extraordinary. The second, more important reason is this -- Nightwish is a concert-heavy band, doing tours all around the globe that last for many months (often more than a year) continuously, without any longer break. Also, what their music needs is a full "big" orchestra with many various instruments, and several choirs. It would be a logistical nightmare to haul all these, possibly a few hundred, musicians around the globe for all these months on a tour, and arrange everything for them, too. Not to mention that the costs of such a "fun" would be astronomical. Simply put, it is pretty unimaginable to organize. However, it still may happen in the future - Tuomas said he would be willing to take live orchestra onstage with them, but only as a one-off and only in Wembley Arena (which they already sold out several times). So, maybe, we'll get to see it once :)

To get the full effect of Epica Cosign to Oblivion is a must watch. It's the song the close with all the time. As for the Mastermind Mark Jansen is the one that started the band after he was kicked from After Forever. Epica like After Forever was a symphonic metal band.

@antti-jussikemppainen305 4 года назад

I really enjoy the fact that you actually react to the music. And then also talk about the piece in detail, that adds so much depth that so many reaction videos lack. Now that you've ventured beyond Nightwish I highly recommend Kamelot - The Haunting ft. Simone Simmons (live in Oslo). One of THE best male metal singers (with a clean voice) together with the angelic voice of Simone is something to behold. Also: Kamelot - Abandoned. You shall not regret listening to either of those .

You talked about the live orchestra. While it sounds amazing, it is a logistical nightmare to pull off with any regularity, not to mention incredibly expensive. The concert that this was taken from was celebrating Epica's 10th anniversary, and the live orchestra was a one time only thing. Epica, like Nightwish, usually uses prerecorded symphonic and choir elements in their live shows. It is quite grand to have them all live in this show though.

Christi, the Netherlands is blessed with some of the greatest female vocal lead singers and bands: - Anneke van Giersbergen: grand lady of Dutch metal and inspiration of Floor. Singer of The Gathering until 2007, now on a solo career. - Floor Jansen well known: After Forever, Revamp, Nightwish and a project called Nortward with Jørn Viggo Lofstad of Pagan's Mind. - Simone Simons: Epica and MaYan. - Sharon den Adel: Within Tempatation, Sharon is a singing autodidact and designs her own stage-outfit. - Charlotte Wessels: Delain - Diana van Giersbergen: Ex Libris and Xandria. Not related to Anneke. Sharon and Anneke sing together the "Best Duet"on YT called Somewhere. Highly recommended Simone and Floor also did on the same Retrospect Stabat Matar Dolorosa a 12th century hymn on music of 17th century composer Pergolosi. (one of many composer for this hymn (21+)).

@tifosinh 4 года назад

If you decide to listen to more Epica, something you'll find more of with them (vs. Nightwish for example), is more of the "Beauty and the Beast" vocal style, where Mark (the guitarist) and Simone will often trade back and forth between harsh metal growling and soaring soprano lines. I'm not generally a huge fan of harsh growling, but in the context of Symphonic Metal it works very well. It provides a "tension and release" throughout the music that is often inherent in classical style music to begin with. It keeps the song from being stale or monotonic and has taught me to appreciate that particular vocal style much more than I used to.

@theCrownofSympathy 4 года назад

I guess you could say that guitar player Mark Jansen (no relation to Floor Jansen) is the mastermind behind Epica as he is the one who formed the band. Although, I'm sure most of the band members do write and contribute to the bands music. Mark Jansen was originally from the band After Forever, another band fronted by Floor Jansen, but Mark left After Forever due to creative differences and formed Epica.

Actually, according to Wikipedia, Floor was SIXTEEN when she joined After Forever. I remember listening to After Forever back in the day, and they were...okay. This was before Floor got four years of conservatory training. But it is interesting how the two singers had similar career arcs, being recruited very early and enjoying success from a very young age. And yet both seem like down to earth people without ego. It's amazing. Something in Dutch culture? I don't know.

I never like when this song is the first people hear of Epica. Floor tends to be too much of a distraction from Epica and Simone, and this song isn't really representative of Epica as a whole.

@ekgrafix 4 года назад

Disagree a lot in this. After being an Epica fan for at least 10yrs now and seen them twice .. this is still one of my favorite songs it’s more representative than Consign which is almost wholly a power metal showcase I’d say

Two best friends who do these duets often and other projects away from their bands. Simone was inspired to go into metal by Nightwish's 1st vocalist Tarja as she was being trained as a classical singer. Both her and Floor joined bands as teenagers and it is all the hard work and years of such work that has produced the quality of their vocals. They are 2 of the Dutch Singing Goddess Club who are lead vocalists for symphonic metal bands (Floor/Nightwish; Simone/Epica; Sharon/Within Temptation; Charlotte/Delain; Anneke/Vuur & Gathering and Dianne/Ex Libris) not to mention the other Dutch vocalists leading other bands. If you enjoyed this then you will love the 1st duet they did at this 10th anniversary show (that is why there is a symphony and chorus LIVE something that is not practical on a touring schedule). Please try Stabat Mater Dolorosa (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QqdvFPBGN0c.html) and really enjoy those angelic soprano vocals. Great reaction and review as always.

Awesome reaction, thank you 😊 Great song and performance by Epica. Floor and Simon have other duets on RU-vid. I like you have only discovered this genre through Nightwish. Can’t believe I had never heard it before! If I had heard this as a teenager it would have changed my life. There is a rich pool of amazing artists in this genre. Truely great stuff, I’m loving it!

@geuseliohulk8661 4 года назад

And it all started with a very noisy Austrian band called Celtic Frost. When they placed these parts with opera, their followers hated it. Celti Frost inspired another band, called Therion. I love Nightwish, but Therion is a great reference for symphonic metal. Other two relevant and pioneering bands with two vocals (beauty and the beast style) were Theater of Tragedy and The Gathering.

@scottchadburn1535 4 года назад

Geuselio Hulk hey thanks. I did listen to some Celtic Frost many years ago. I have heard a lot about the Gathering am looking forward to hearing them 😃👍🏻

@douglascampbell9809 4 года назад

Next react to Within Temptation and Metropole Orchestra - Somewhere (Black Symphony HD 1080p) Sharon den Adel and Anneke van Giersbergen sing this duet. Both of them are also Dutch just like Floor. Floor looked at Anneke's performances when she was making the decision that metal would be the right path when she was young. Have a tissue. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ScjEJRIZGvg.html

The mastermind behind Epica is Mark Jansen. No, he is not related to Floor, but they were together many years ago in the band After Forever. They had a disagreement about which direction the band should take and Floor stayed with After Forever and Mark left and founded Epica. Also, Epica's name comes from Kamelot's album Epica, another great symphonic metal band but with a male vocalist this time.

@MountainMetal 4 года назад

Christi discovers Epica! Woohoo! You're gonna love 'em. The dazzling lights can be a little jarring on a video screen, but this show... took a year to organize, was very well executed, and every song from it is a gem. Suggesting you explore it further, especially Unleashed, Design Your Universe and Chasing The Dragon, but every song of the 3-hour show is a keeper, despite 'Schmoon' being a few months pregnant with her first, and a little breathless by her standards. I mean it couldn't have made her job easier, I'm sure of that. Also, please check her guest vocals with Kamelot on The Haunting, very early in her career. Love that you love this genre, and there's many a tasty morsel awaiting you, lass. Well done!

@Thorgrim247 4 года назад

Simone and Floor are the best of friends and sing together often. Another symphonic metal band you should check out is Within Temptation. They are Dutch and their vocalist, Sharon den Adel is amazing as well. They did a special show called "Black Symphony" which has some amazing performances. Check out "Our Solemn Hour" which is the opening song. See my link below. Loved your reaction video and analysis Christi! Be well. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fePQWBTkuBU.html - Our Solemn Hour

Mark Jansen is the Founder of Epica. He Was Also in After forever With Floor. Not sure who was The Founder of That Band, Mark is A great Guitarist and Vocalist. By the way Floor and Mark are Not Related.

@frankohero 4 года назад

After watching A LOT of Nightwish, I think, nothing what happens on the stage is an "accident". Everything is thought through and precise - every note, every move and every expression. From what I have seen over the years, Epica is on the same level (but with a bit of a different philosophy in their epic mind(s)).

@Ton-yi8ms 4 года назад

The next step is, search for Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon), or better go to his website first, then a big part of the symphonic metal world will open, you will love it (that's an understatement :) ).

@Duncan_Idaho_Potato 4 года назад

I'll never get tired of seeing non-metalheads discovering that metal isn't actually about sex, drugs, Satan, and machismo. In fact, a lot of it is downright intelligent, elegant and sophisticated. I wouldn't be such a die-hard fan otherwise.

@@TheVoiceLoveCo What I love about your reactions vs. other similar channels is the "Let's talk about it!" part of the video. You not only go into detail about what you liked, but you intersperse it with clips from the video to illustrate exactly what you're referring to. I have not seen another "Vocal Coach Reacts to..." channel do anything like that. I'm sure it's a lot more work but it really sets your channel apart, IMO.

Now that you've dived deeper into the waters of symphonic metal, I'd really like for you to react to Floors old band After Forever. It would be fun for you to see what she sounded like in her early 20s and how much she evolved vocally. I'd recommend Monolith Of Doubt 2002 live.

@ChrisPage68 4 года назад

And their version of Iron Maiden's "The Evil That Men Do". Floor could easily have replaced Bruce when he temporarily left the band.

@martvil2018 4 года назад

PageMonster oh yea, I’m actually quite curious how would Floor sound on this song now

@LuisRdzG10 4 года назад

The mastermind behind Epica is Mark Jansen, the founder of Epica, is the guitarist that at the end of the song says: "Floor Janseeeeeeen" to the public. He mainly writes the songs of Epica, like Tuomas in Nightwish. Before you get excited, nop, Mark and Floor are not related. They are just friends from long time ago, in fact, Mark and Floor were together in Floor's 1st band, After Forever, but Mark left and found Epica, that's how they know each other. Back in the day, Mark and Simone (Epica's singer) were a couple, and that's how Floor and Simone get to know each other and became great friends since then, it's been like 20 years... Cheers

@BERSERKR212 4 года назад

I scrolled the comments quite quickly and I saw several requests for Stabat Mater Dolorosa by Pergolesi sung by Simone and Floor. It's classic music but it's in the same show and I think it's great. The whole show was great . . . I was there :) If you want to hear them sing together and hear their voices interact, please make a reaction of it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QqdvFPBGN0c.html It's probably already said but Mark Jansen (the most left gitarist) started Epica but now all the members write songs for Epica. Ok, and now the music on paper for the classic musicians and the choir. Almost everyting (or everything indeed) was made for them by Oliver Palotai, the keyboadplayer of the band Kamelot and the husband of Simone. His parents are from Hungary and . . . that is where the orchrestra and the choir are from.

@petervandieren 4 года назад

@nataliemolyneux8951 4 года назад

There are so many fantastic Dutch leading ladies! Another fantastic duet is 'Somewhere' by Within Temptation, Black Symphony feat. Anneke is beautiful. Sharon Den Adel is the lead singer, has a beautiful voice and is self taught. Please check this one. Also, Delain who's lead singer Charlotte Weasels is fantastic. They've also dine loads of duets with Nightwish's very own Marko 😁. Symphonic metal is awesome, epic, theatrical and the musicianship is the best I've ever come across.

@mykindamakeup 4 года назад

Yes! Another great reaction and breakdown! Floor and Simone are both Dutch gems in the metal world, and still underrated imho. 😉 I don't know what's in our water but a lot of top metal vocalists are from the Netherlands. (I must have a wrong batch, though.) I hope you get a lot of requests to introduce you more into this genre. I'd love it if you checked out Devin Townsend, did you react to his performance of Kingdom? Live at EMG, preferably. If not: definitely put it on your To Do list. I'll think of some more later, lol.

@ekgrafix 4 года назад

Excellent reaction one of the best I’ve ever seen. Breaking down the parts w samples is so rarely seen ... well done . As to the mastermind I’d lean toward the guitarist who formed Epica whom also started After Forever with Floor. He left the band after the second release to form Epica ... undoubtedly starting a rivalry that some have forgotten since it seems here .... years later... Floor appears to be so welcomed. Once Floor joined Nightwish it seems the rivalry has restarted

@ekgrafix 4 года назад

I’d suggest to check out Unleashed by Them it has all the elements of this song that you like ... long lines and orchestral hits and choir it’s beautiful and heavy

@jackstorm5649 4 года назад

Btw the Dutch metal maidens as they are known are generally considered to be Anneke van Giersbergen, Sharon den Adel, Floor Jansen, Simone Simons, Charlotte Wessels, & Dianne van Giersbergen. I think you might like Dianne in particular though all of them are great.

HI Christi. The song and performance rocked. They do another duet in the same show same style. In that one Floor sings alto Simone sings soprano. A guy from After Forever named Mark Jansen no relation started Epica. I love your enjoyment.gFloor and Tarja are friends also.

@JohnTCampbell1986 3 года назад

Is there some technical aspect to Floors singing I'm not appreciating? I enjoy her work and her voice but the way people talk about her it's like shes the female version of Bruce Dickinson and Hansi Kursch at their peaks and there's nobody even close. I don't know if there's an objective level I'm not talented enough to notice, but on the subjective level, I think Simone sounds pretty similar to her and in this (I'm not overly familiar with her other work) I actually like her voice more.

@draagnipur8767 4 года назад

Next you should check "Design your universe" from the same show (Retrospect) - it is fantastic song. For more Simone voice you should check live studio version of "Cry for the moon". She sang there very good.

@davidcoyne7291 4 года назад

The thing i love about these bands is that they put everything into the music. There is no self indulgent rock en roll life style. Ever penny they make goes into making more music. Nightwish for instance are rumored to have spent €1,000,000 of their own money on their 2004 album Once which included videos etc, at a time when they were not that big. You see the same thing here with Epica. I would bet that some of the band got a bus home after the shows or being Dutch cycled a bicycle home.

@MrSh0110 4 года назад

Welcome to Epica The music of Epica is heavy yet catchy and includes Goth, Death and Prog metal elements. This one is from their 10th anniversary concert, one of the most ambitious and complex shows in Metal history. Any song from this concert is a gem. Please try - Epica - Chasing the Dragon Epica - Design Your Universe

@arashblacky6459 4 года назад

This was a request for a long time, I'm really glad you finally get to it, these are lady Titans 😁 this performance is just perfect, it was for celebration of Epica's 10 anniversary. If you're interested for checking out of their more classical singing react to Sabat Mater Dolorosa, the live versione, I am sure that will be so awesome and useful for your company and voice lovers. Thank you so much 🖤🤘🖤🤘

@treintje1001 4 года назад

Ok, so here it goes: Epica was founded by Mark Jansen in 2002 after he had to leave After Forever due to artistic differences. Yes, Mark was one of the songwriters in Floor’s first band. Mark is the guy who shouts out Floor’s name at the end of the song. So these two go back a long way and know each other well. They have since worked together more than once and they have helped each other. Mark has for example done the grunts on a few Revamp songs and Floor has done some guest performances in his bands Epica and Mayan. The split up wasn’t a nice thing, but in the end the result was that we now have this great band called Epica. About Simone: i believe that she was one of Floor’s students in the time when Floor was teaching singing lessons, but I am not completely sure on that. Think I read it somewhere. Anyway the two are known to be close friends. Stabat Mater Dolarosa from the same concert is definitely a must see. If you want toknow more about Epica then the videos from their first dvd ‘We will take you with us’ are a good starting point. Good songs are Sensorium, Cry for the moon, and The Pantom Agony. Have fun!

@remcovandenheuvel1315 4 года назад

there are more interesting things in Epica, Mark Jansen (no familly of Floor)on Guitar screams and songwriter started a band called After Forever with floor jansen, but left because there were to many captains on that band, then formed sahara dust wich moved on to become Epica, and Simone was 3 months pregnant during these 3 anniversary shows wich had a lenght of 3 hours if im correct.

I discovered Floor in 2000 when she was using a wonderous, powerful blend of flowing classical /metallic blend almost exclusively in After Forever with Mark Jenssen , the founder of Epica....which, if you care to explore it, is NW on steroids...its somewhat disappointing to me that her current vocal style is far less classical in nature,....please consider doing a reaction to NW original vocalist the great soprano vocal beast Tarja Turunen....she gets so very little attention these days

@jamesallen1153 4 года назад

Simone is one of Floor's BFF's. The list of male and female singers that Floor has performed with is quite extensive. Both performers started to perform at a very early age, Floor at 16, and I think Simone was 16 or 17. They've both been mastering their craft for quite awhile. Simone was pregnant at the time of this performance, although I don't recall what month, and in a later performance with Simone, it was Floor who was pregnant. Floor's baby daughter sometimes travels with the band. Did you also notice that you look a bit like Simone?
