Epica: Omega Alive (2021 Video) User Reviews

A great surprise!

To my opinion, this is probably one of their best effort since their first two albums, which were masterpieces.

They blend well their different styles, the show is visually energetic, emotional and original. A lot of efforts went into the visual concept. Some chorus are too commercially oriented for my taste, but that's my own opinion... I appreciate the fact that Mark and Simone bring different vocal moods and they exchange well between the both of them. Great concert, great musicianship, Simone is always on top of her game... can't wait to see you live again...I have been following you since your first album. Thanks!!

The Monster That Is Epica Comes Out On This Live Album!

I can't tell you how many times I've listened to and watched this live concert. It is an absolute Symphonic Metal masterpiece! It doesn't get much better than this! Epica knows how to keep you banging your head until the very end!

Simone's vocals combined with Mark's and the choir is beautifully done.

The bands playing is flawless. Every note and song takes you on a journey to another world and you're just fully immersed in it.

I really love this band. The only thing missing, in my opinion their best song, is Universal Death Squad! I honestly think adding that song would have pulled this entire performance together 100%. Regardless, this is amazing.

Nothing EPIC(a) About This Mediocre Bland Precocious Drivel!

If this is their most successful outing in their 19 years then, their previous must have been unbelievably horrendous dross! Unintelligible vocals from the lead male singer and high pitched painfully whining vocals from the female lead singer; her voice actually reminded me of the way Kate Bush sang her songs...which is why I couldn't stand her music either! The singer Minnie Ripperton had a similar high pitched tone to her voice but it came over so melodic and nice. The circus like stage acts going on behind their performance were so out of place and dreary and, made worse by inadequate camera work; which also was abysmal for the bands visuals...IMHO!

If however! It was all enjoyable for you, GOOD! But I have to mention, was the high stats of this event show due to the same success highs that other events got due to the COVID-19 Pandemic? Lots more things have been watched etc because people who wouldn't have watched/listened normally have done so because they cannot leave the house safely! I think there is better sounding music to be found in what is known as "White Noise interference static".

As a Rock Music fan/aficionado I don't think I will ever be putting a CD of their music in my vast collection.
