I was there. The entire show was amazing. Epica was doing a dual headline tour with Apocalyptica, so they both played an entire set. This was already scheduled before the whole Pandemic thing, so I had the tickets for about 3 years at that point, but it was well worth the wait!

And also waited 3 years for Nightwish, Evanescence ( and Within temptation) 3 shows in 2 months ... our patience was tested ;) but soooo worth it.

Apocalyptica was on tour with EPICA when this was filmed in January 2023, at the AFAS concert venue in Amsterdam. From the most recent album, Omega. Simone and a choir performed it acapella at the Omega Alive virtual show.

They did that acapella version at their 20th anniversary show last year in 013 Tilburg as well... also a beautifull version!! 😊😊🙂

I saw them live last month ... Epic!!! Epica and Apocalyptica

Fun reaction, thanks! This was in AFAS Amsterdam, the venue holds 6000 people. I was near the stage, and wow, those flames are hot. Production value of both shows (Apocalyptica and Epica, double headliners) was really high.

Magical performance, amazing production and stunning visuals… just another day at the office for Epica.

I was at this concert in the Afas concert hall. In the front, and the whole evening was amazing. Simone is a fantastic singer and a lovely person ❤🔥. Epica and apocalyptica were both headlining the evening and did this song together. Great stuff

Haha “move with a cello” - you need to check out Apocalyptica on their own doing some of their upbeat stuff, they thrash those cellos about like nothing haha

It always makes me smile when Eicca plays his cello by holding it upside down over his head. Or Perttu just being Perttu.

I think this is AFAS Amsterdam, The Netherlands

It was. January 27th 2023 to be exact.

Been waiting for this one for the reaction.

Simone is a fantastic singer, and Apocalyptica are the best cellists....check them doing "Hall of the Mountain King"

Imagine: the band is spot-on, the perfect performance, audience, atmosphere, etc...and the exhausted camera guy trips right on stage in front of everyone. 😱🤦‍♂

Epica forever and ever! They reign supreme!

Apocalyptica is their own entity they have been around for some time. Saw them few yrs back and they are mind-blowing! 🎼🤘

*watches the intro* Oh cool, Twon found the "DVD screensave" setting for the editor! 😁

such a beautiful performance

love me some Epica and SC

During the same tour Apocalyptica featured Simone in "Rise Again" (there's an official live recording of that one too)

EPICA….what else can one say? Greatest of symphonic metal bands. Simone has perfect pitch. By the way her mic stand is in an S shape for her name. On this tour they did an Apocalyptica song with Simone Rise Again, live from London….talk about chills and feels! Great reaction guys!

That was her previous mic stand. The current one is Omega-shaped, in reference to their latest album.

I remember when Apocalyptica started their career... They played as a quartet then, not a trio. They started with covers, I still have original audiotape. Lots of distortion but you only played them, great, worth a listen. It wasn't until later that they added drums and vocals and became a trio. And Epica is Epica, just great. Beautyful Simone voice! Thx

Well, Mikko has been an official member for years so the band itself isn't technically a trio anymore.

Yes, more Epica please!

Great music from the Netherlands ❤ Great sollied reaction 👌🏻

peformance was in the Netherlands AFAS stage. its in the title :)

this song is written by Epica bassist so bassists still have a hope :) Epica did similar song (Tides of Time) way back in 2009, when in the end of beautiful ballad full band kicked in

Such a beautifull version of an allready great song!!! At their 20th anniversary show at 013 Tilburg they did another version, an acapella version, which was really great as well. Love this song... doesn't matter which version!!! 😍😍😍 By the way, the Dutch symphonic/gothic metalband Blackbriar has a really nice microphone stand as well. You guys and girl should check their music!!! 😊😊🙂

Apocalyptica is an Finnish Symphonic metal band. You should check some of their work where they have some singers featuring.

welcome back!

They are avatars, Simone, a godess of voices...

F🤩ckin' beautifully done!

A beautiful woman with beautiful voice sings a beautiful song with beautiful band and beautiful croud... It's a hi pleasure, guys! The life is beautiful! Do EPICA-"Kingdom of Heaven Part 3." Great, great, great!
