Epica + Apocalyptica 2023-02-14 Coliseu de Lisboa, Lisbon

Tue, February 14, 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal @ Coliseu de Lisboa

The tour of Epica is: "The Epic Apocalypse Tour".
It was my 1st Epica show. And this was a show with 3 Bands I've Never Seen before, Wheel (1st band), Epica (2nd band) and Apocalyptica (3rd band)

I arrived at Coliseu at 6 pm. Doors opened at 19:00 and the 1st band was scheduled to start at 20:00.

1st band were "Wheel" in Coliseu, they started at 20:00 and played 26 minutes.

Wheel is a Finnish prog-metal band based in Helsinki, consisting of James Lascelles (Vocals/Guitar), Santeri Saksala (Drums), Aki ‘Conan’ Virta (Bass) and Jussi Turunen (Lead Guitar).

Here it is their official website: Wheel

I never heard of them before. They were cool.

Time for Epica. I thought they were the last band playing. But some Epica fans told me that Apocalyptica will be the last band playing and Epica before them.
They started at 20:50 and played 80 minutes. Played a set of 12 songs.

Love the concert. Was my first time watching them live. And I only knew their music on the last 2 to 3 weeks. Awesome metal and symphonic sounds that Epica have.

The band members are:
Mark Jansen – rhythm guitar, growled vocals, co-lead vocals (2002–present)
Coen Janssen – keyboards, synthesizer, piano (2002–present)
Simone Simons – lead vocals (2002–present)
Ariën van Weesenbeek – drums (2007–present; session member: 2006–2007)
Isaac Delahaye – lead guitar, backing vocals (2009–present)
Rob van der Loo – bass (2012–present)

A special video from Linkin Park.
So many memories of watching Chester and the band. I was lucky to see them (Linkin Park) a few times live.

A few of the main tweets that the "Linkin Park Twitter account" sent explaining the video.

"What's great about this project is it's like a lost memory in the form of a time capsule. The music video really encapsulates that. I’m so proud of how it turned out.” @joehahnLP

Hope you will love this awesome lyric.

Linkin Park - Lost (Official Music Video)

[Verse 1: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
Just a scar somewhere down inside of me
Something I can not repair
Even though it will always be
I pretend it isn't there (This is how I feel)
I'm trapped in yesterday (Just a memory)
Where the pain is all I know (This is all I know)

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
And I'll never break away (Can't break free)
'Cause when I'm alone

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion

[Verse 2: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
But I'm tired, I will always be afraid
Of the damage I've received
Broken promises they made
And how blindly I believed (This is all I know)

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I will never break away (Can't break free)
'Cause when I'm alone

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion

[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
I try to keep this pain inside
But I will never be alright
I try to keep this pain inside
But I will never be alright
I try to keep this pain inside (I'm lost)
But I will never be alright
I try to keep this pain inside (I'm lost)
But I will never be alright

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm lost in these memories
Living behind my own illusion
Lost all my dignity
Living inside my own confusion
