Epic and Heavy ...anyone?

[Krilons Resa]

I'm looking for material which is epic and heavy. Maybe along the lines of Vital Remains, or Nargaroth's Seven Tears.

Theres more that I cannot remember right now but Im in the mood for somehting new.

 

[Abou]

You wouldn't happen to have more examples would you?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Hmm...

Emperor - Thus Spake The Nightspirit
Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness
A lot of My DYing Bride
Shape of Despair
Symphony X

 

[Niklas]

i wouldn't really, of thought of vital remains as epic, it is to each's own opinion though

 

[Krilons Resa]

IMO, Dechristianize, the song is very epic.

Like you said, it is down to opinion.

 

[DaMenace123]

Check out Amon Amarth
Some of the more epic songs are:
The Avenger, The Sound of Eight Hooves, Abandoned, Victorious March, The Dragon's Flight Across The Waves.


And you might want to check out Immortal although they aren't very heavy, but they are more so than the bands mentioned in the other replies.

 

[no country for old wainds]

At The Gates - Raped by the Light of Christ

 

[Slayed Necros]

Funeral Mist-Circle of Eyes
Thunderbolt-Die Within your Religion

 

[Krilons Resa]

Funeral Mist-Circle of Eyes
Thunderbolt-Die Within your Religion

Off to check out this. Im pretty sure that I have Funeral Mist, but dont recall that song.

I have heard the other recommendations.

Thanks. :Spin:

 

[Lamentation]

well you may have heard of some of there...
(bands in general)
Astriaal
Novembers Doom
Moonsorrow
Autumn Leaves
Edge Of Sanity
Lilitu

 

[NocturnalSun]

Borknagar has epic written all over it. The Quintessence album mainly

 

[Niklas]

that is only 1 song though man

 

[SculptedCold]

hmm, lemme think...

Graveworm. symphonic black. try the song Demonic Dreams.

possibly Avulsed. the melodies are extremely good, though only some are what people would call EPIC probably. listen to Daddy Stew and Homeless Necrophile

i'll second Amon Amarth (try the song ...and soon the world will cease to be), Emperor, Borknagar although they're not really heavy.

Melechesh. epic (eastern vibed) black thrash. try the songs Covering the Sun and Purifier of the Stars.

Neuraxis. heavy and complex death metal, but subtle melody that is compellingly epic. songs: Structures, Imagery, Reflections. you HAVE to hear this stuff.

Skyfire.....maybe not really heavy (although its fast and the vox are shrieky) but some of the best epic melodies in metal. period.

Some of Zyklon's stuff......

 

[Krilons Resa]

Off to check Neuraxis!

 

[_The_Faceless_Sinner_]

Neuraxis owns!
truth beyond is an amazing cd

 

[Donnie Darko]

Opeth - Bleak
Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt 1
Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons
Dimmu Borgir - Kings Of The Carnival Creation

 

[David Å.]

To name a few;

Summoning
viking-era Bathory (two eras by now)
early Enslaved
Graveland (a must, especially since you like Nargaroth)

 

[Krilons Resa]

Yes, Graveland owns.

 

[BRUTAL SENSATION]

Neuraxis fuckin slay!

Also check out Lykathea Aflame i just cant reccomend this band enough! So brutal, complex yet very diverse band...and the drumming is just godly!

 

[SculptedCold]

I will check them out. Anyone who appreciates Neuraxis and says a band has godly drumming must know what they're talkin' about. ;o)

Do you know Debodified, Alarum?
