I was at the gig where this was recorded and performed live for the first time. It was for their 20th anniversary as a band. Jurgen did a brilliant sax solo live before the song started. The gig was fan-f*cking-tastic! Going to see them again in January together with Apocalyptica

I really love this song!! The video is a compilation of Epica's 20th anniversary show, which was amazing! They played The Final Lullaby live for the first time at the 20th anniversary show, that was a very nice surprise.

Juergen Munkeby is the singer/saxophonist in a Norwegian band called SHINING. (Not to be confused with a Swedish black metal band of the same name.)

They presented the song and this new collab project in the 20th anniversary show which is where this footage is from Really cool song

With “The Alchemy Project”, EPICA sets another highlight in the band’s 20th-anniversary year. Graced by a vivid and witty artwork by graphic wizard Heilemania, visual partner in crime for more that 15 years, EPICA embarks on a journey through seven extraordinary new songs. Co-written and performed with diverse guests ranging from extremists like FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, Niilo Sevänen (INSOMNIUM) and Björn “Speed” Strid (SOILWORK) via melodic masters like Tommy Karevik (KAMELOT),keyboard legend Phil Lanzon (URIAH HEEP) and Roel Van Helden (POWERWOLF) to a once-in-a-lifetime song with Simone Simons, Charlotte Wessels and Myrkur, the EPICA members have really outdone themselves once again. The result is a mind-bending EP that even surpasses the usual broad scope of an EPICA record. The first song they wrote for this seven-track offering was “The Final Lullaby”, a fast-paced, intense clash between EPICA and the avant-garde rock of Norwegian legends SHINING (with saxophone!),graced with one of the biggest refrains you will hear all year.

Yeah, this video is from the anniversary show, and the song is a Banger and a half!

Awesome song!!! I just saw Epica w/Sabaton last night and both bands were frickin AMAZING!!!! Both bands seem to enjoy performing AND each other so much that the energy was off the charts!!! Great reaction!! Luv you guys!!

Do a reaction on Epica "Once upon a nightmare" "Unleashed" "Code of life" "Presto" You both will like these songs..

Live, it wad really great. Long sax intro, really long, but you can’t have enough sax 😜

This Collab is sic! Epica just keeps getting better and better!! This is one of the 7 songs on the new Alchemy EP out in Nov. This was recorded at their 20th concert blow out very recently in Tilburg. So excited to see my fav band Epica along with Sabaton in OH in Oct!! Great reaction guys! 10 out of 10 for sure!

Don't miss them. They are on US Tour now.

So glad they live streamed this concert, it was great! And next week I get to see Epica & Sabaton. Woooooooooooooooo \m/

That song is so great, that I preorder this new album right NOW!!! AND....Damn strait, the saxophone is the sexiest music instrument in the world!!!!! FACT'S!!! 🤘🤩🤘.

video is from their 20th anniversary show that was in this month. I watched it online, some people in chat was suggesting that it was selfie stick with 360 degree camera, might be someone officially from Epica, filming the event for videos like this

The video is pieced together from footage taken at their 20th anniversary show. I was at this show and had a blast. The thing sticking in the air was someone with a tiny camera thing on a telescopic rod. It was only up twice in the entire 4 hour show for like 30 seconds, so it wasn't annoying. Funny enough it did end up in this video.

Amazing song!! Live is was amazing aswell 🥰

Hi guys awesome song and video from a awesome band thank you amazing team ever in my view chels and mat are my sister and bro love your reactions can't wait until the next one chels and mat 666

It's not a whip, it's Simone's special mic stand. 😆🔥 Epica never disappoints. By the way, the footage was from their 20th anniversary show.

Could possibly be one of my new fav Epica songs! Check out the artwork on that upcoming release....frigging awesome! Love your channel. Greetingz from the Netherlands \m/

agreed, you can't have too much sax 🤣🤣

Keep faith stay strong guys music brings people together I liked the slip up bro mat best team chels and mat 666

It was badass!🤘🤘🤘

this was not the shining that I was expecting when I read the title

Hi Mat and Chels! Not a typical Epica song. This is from their upcoming EP called "The Alchemy Project" which is a collab between Epica and various artists, including some death metal bands. All 7 songs are co-written by Epica. "The Final Lullaby" was for the first time performed live a few weeks ago, during Epica 20th anniversary concert. Shame you didn't watch it live online. Anyways... Can you do some more Epica soon? 🙂

chels will love it till the end. but inside album will like some in 98. like another kind of ballads like tired, perfect isolation and full album or the tale goes on ep etc or previous more trash as sarcastic angel like haunting the prayers demo etc etc since 91

you blush

🔥

DAMMIT MAT!

Say sexy saxophone 5 times fast!!!!

React to Volbeat- Dagen for

голос у неё конечно божественный но вот стиль в музыке какой то не мелодичный .. не цепляющий.. хоть вырезай её вокал..

Very disappointed. There music usually doesn’t sound like this happy clappy, Sickly, nonsense.
