Today’s song is Unleashed by Epica. It was released on the album Design Your Universe in 2009. Here are the lyrics, and below is the music video:
I will say that this song is really epic. It’s grand, with an amazing choir and Simone’s wonderfully executed vocals. I also think the music video is pretty damn cool. And they all look posessed without looking awful. The whole concept of symphonic metal is surprisingly big in my ears. Every little sound feels like it’s filling my ears, even the rather quiet ones. Β I am really impressed when simone takes the whole song up a notch in the end. What a voice!
“Time is just a concept, and always the first thing to fade”
(Unleashed – Epica)
Of course it’s epic! It’s symphonic metal π Symphonic metal was what got me into listening to classical music, I think, so there might be hope for you yet :p
Simone is a great singer π Did you know that Amanda Somerville (singer in Avantasia) is (or was) her vocal coach? I think that is cool, because everything that has to do with Avantasia is cool π
Yeah, hope for me – yay! π
No, I did not know, what a cool thing! π
