Epic Death Metal

[no country for old wainds]

Bands, albums, songs, whatever, any recommendations will be appreciated.

 

[CF87]

Vital Remains-Dechristianize(song) Some very awsome guitar harmonies starting at around 2,3 minutes.

 

[Life Sucks]

Nile - In Their Darkened Shrines
Particularly the 11:00 minute plus epic Unas Slayer of the Gods

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris

 

[diabolical vengeance]

pretty much anything by Vital Remains
Vehemence-God was Created
Immolation-songs like Unholy cult and Close to a World Below push the 8 minute mark
Edge of Sanity-Crimson (40 minute song)
Aeternus-And So the Night Became, not pure death metal but still very epic with a black metal feel

 

[Opus(sy)2]

I don't understand what is meant by 'epic' death metal....sorry i'm stoopid.

 

[Oceanic Motion]

Yeah, define what you mean by Epic Death Metal and I'll hopefully list something that you're after.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Opeth!!! Get any Opeth song

 

[Oceanic Motion]

Opeth!!! Get any Opeth song

Yeah man Harvest is soooooo heavy!!!!!

 

[CF87]

Opeth is not epic death metal and does not have any epic death metal songs.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Yeah, define what you mean by Epic Death Metal and I'll hopefully list something that you're after.

Epic songs are generally long and with plenty of different parts that form the structure of the songs. They can also have a somewhat majestic feel to them.

Aeternus-And So the Night Became, not pure death metal but still very epic with a black metal feel

I don't know how the hell I forgot one of my favorite bands I would also add:

Aeternus - Beyond The Wandering Moon

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Yeah man Harvest is soooooo heavy!!!!!

That was actually pretty funny.

Btw, Death's TSOP is pretty epic if you ask me.

 

[Naggamanteh]

If epic=long tracks then I recommend the Crimson track/album by Edge of Sanity. If it's death metal at all.

 

[[0hr]Sunlapse]

Vehemence - God Was Created
Nocturnus - The Key, Thresholds (very epic, cosmic feel, with awesome guitar playing, they have another album but I havent heard it yet)

 

[CONCLAVE OBSCURUM]

Borknagar and Amon Amarth

 

[Hammer of Might]

I second Nile

 

[genocide roach]

nile- in their darkened shrines
deeds of flesh- reduced to ashes
immolation- unholy cult
krisiun- works of carnage
extol- undecieved

those albums seem to have long songs and that really big feeling to em. in my humble opinion of course
~gR~

 

[dirty_sandwich666]

PSYCROPTIC - THE SCEPTER OF JAAR-GILON

Killer DM, the final track from their latest 'The Scepter of the Ancients' (possible best DM album of the year IMO)

 

[Stormwatch]

I agree with the other guys who said Nile. I just got "In Their Darkened Shrines" and it's fucking brilliant.
I have to disagree with the guys that said Opeth aren't epic death metal - I'd say Black Rose Immortal is pretty fucking epic. But GoD already has all the Opeth stuff - he's a fucking Opeth fanboy, just like me.

I WAS, I haven't listened to them in ages. Don't lower me to your level. :Smug:
