[Kenneth R.]

Farewell, Proud Men

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

Yeah, that and Elegy are my fave songs on there.

 

[Confessor of Tragedy]

at the risk of being flamed.......

Cradle of Filth - 13 Autumns and a Widow

 

[vampyrouss]

Marilyn Manson, Coma White, the Last Day on Earth

Never thought I'd say MM could be epic, but compared to the rest of his catalog*ue that song (and Mechanical Animals actually...) is pretty epic!

I also agree about CoF, most of D...AHE is hugely epic, and not to forget Bathory Aria and Lustmord And Wargasm from CATB, they have an epic quality to them for sure.

I'd add February and Farewell by The Berzerker too, since they are a lot more epic than the rest of their songs!

Obviously this is comparing these songs to other songs by the same artist, not comparing Februay to Black Rose Immortal or something, that would be silly. But in the context of the album or artist.

And anything from Mortiis before The Smell Of Rain, since its pretty much written to be Epic from start to finish!

Cradle of Filth - 13 Autumns and a Widow

Cradle of filth as a band is very good *Though their newer albums are lacking*

Dani filth is the one ruining it in my eyes. If he'd just..leave, there'd be a good chance the current band members could make a great album together.

No change in dani filth leaving, though. >_>

From what album is that song?

 

[vampyrouss]

Cruelty And The Beast. And if he wasn't in the band it would be an Iron Maiden tribute band, which is what they are slowly becoming any way.

 

[NicholasDWolfwood]

Another couple..

Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Porcupine Tree - Arriving Somewhere But Not Here
Porcupine Tree - Even Less

 

[Powers]

Cruelty And The Beast. And if he wasn't in the band it would be an Iron Maiden tribute band, which is what they are slowly becoming any way.

Don't even put Maiden (the mighty) in the same sentence as Cradle of Shite!

 

[Zed Leppelin]

Dan Swano's stuff is very triumphant. It's got that cliched 80's vibe about it. The two Crimson albums plus his Moontower release are great 'epic' metal albums.

what he said

hehehe, like you just did

 

[xXBraveMurderDay]

Katatonia - Rainroom

 

[Forest of Åsatrú]

Bathory's VM years

 

[Powers]

hehehe, like you just did

I see. Yes that was slightly retarded.

 

[vampyrouss]

But in a good way!
