I apologize for spamming the comments, but I think it's important to note that this particular song, fantastic as it is, is basically just a remix of Crestfallen by Soilwork. It's very much the same tempo and melody, nearly identical. That said, I _love_ Epica. I just wanted to give Soilwork the respect they deserve because I haven't noticed anyone else mentioning it.

@@thepriest98 That's interesting! It's totally the same song. I would also recommend Sun Is Going Down by Helloween and Lost by Beautiful Sin. I'm a musician and I know music. My only point is that the original artist deserves the credit, too. There have been plenty of times that I "thought" I had written a new song, but it turned out I had accidentally "stolen" a melody. For the record, I don't think that's the case, here. Granted, there are _clear_ demonstrations of theft. Coldplay absolutely _stole_ from Joe Satriani's: If I could Fly when they made Viva La Vida. All I'm saying is that there's a distinction between theft and inspiration. I don't consider this theft, but Coldplay, I think, f**ked up.

This song is just so good, Simone's voice is always amazing and Jorgen's voice just works so well with both hers and the song. I could listen to that chorus on repeat for hours!

WHAT A CHORUS ( The one that you turn the volume up and sing along!)

Epica is Love. First time they have ever used a saxophone, like it. ♥ Especially the mix with Epica's usual sound (which have always sounded great) and the more heavier and progressive elements that even contains even some jazz aspects in the end. It proves that Epica have always managed to keep a balance between the usual symphonic sound and new elements which they're not afraid to try. ❤❤

Epica now is one of the most productive bands :) The new song sounds "epican" and fresh at the same time. Love the saxophone parts

This song made me wish I could have gone to the upcoming Epica concert with you but I will never see you again and you won't probably remember me soon despite it all. This song would be so awesome to experience live. I heard you say it's over now though :( Thanks for introducing me to Epica. I will never forget you, till the end.

Damn. That sax had me dead! Great song 10/10

This looks like a very exciting project, kinda of what Tobi has been doing with Avantasia all these years. Epica never ceases to amazed me, mad respect for these guys and for all their hard work

It's a very good song. It's also a good thing that it's only for an EP and not a full album. EPs are for fun, whereas the main albums ideally should be full of an "EPIC" feeling.

And this is how you celebrate two decades of amazing music. This is so electrifying and melodious and yet heavy and passionate. Got goosebumps all over. To whomever edited this, what a fantastic job. The concert was brilliant, and this video is a perfect trailer for it. Jørgen and Simone... what to say... thank you, Mark, for choosing this as a single. A bit of a shame that the saxophone solo was cut a bit, though. To those who are not aware of the Norwegian Shining, give blackjazz a try. It is something you won't forget. I do need to mention how much of a fabulous drummer Arjen is. He plays it all and is, to me, the best metal drummer in the genre. Also, watching this reminded me of how nice Epica's fanbase is.

I'm just saying that it's nearly the exact same melody, even down to the key. So much so that if I were to sing karaoke to Epica's song, I could simply just replace the vocals with Soilwork's and nobody would notice. Listen to "Lost" by Beautiful Sin (which I _genuinely_ think you'll love). It's awesome and in a similar genre to Epica. Then listen to "Sun is Going Down" by Helloween.
