Epic and/ or Intense Metal

[Chimaera]

I'm looking for some songs that have a really epic and intense sound. By that I mean having a slow and quiet intro and then slowly building up, becoming more intense and then just exploding into crushing instruments and vocals. Sorry if I wasn't able to explain it very well but is there anything you'd recommend?

 

[Hail The Wizard!]

While Heaven Wept - Vast Oceans Lachrymose
Altar of Plagues (Definitely)
Fen
Skagos
Wodensthrone

Sorry if that's a bit too much black metal.

Epic and Intense are usually two different things to me. If you want epic I would try Moonsorrow.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Boris - Flood

 

[Burkhard]

This song immediately comes to my mind:



And

Fear of God - "Betrayed", which you can listen to on this page:

They are excellent!

Have you heard Whispered? They're pretty epic.

Well of course.

Sokyra Peruna's cover of "Honor and Blood" sounds like what you're after.

 

[JontRevolting]

Drudkh's False Dawn fron 'Forgotten Legends' or Summoning's 'Stronghold',would both fit the bill also.

 

[Xorv]

I think this poster is looking for a kvlt version of summoning.
