Tenhi have some real fucking epic tracks too.
Vastakaiun or Vilja off of Väre are two extremely epic tracks.. Despite not being epic in length.

I'll add a few that haven't been mentioned (I think):
Agalloch - In The Shadow Of Our Pale Companion
Just a beautiful song all around, that builds and builds, and then just breaks in your face - all the while the band manage to refrain from going crazy and since they hold back, it gives the feeling of an almost 'delicate' track.
In The Woods - 299.796 KM/S
Took me some time, but I love this song. The unique singing style (along with the female singing) is great, and I love how the song takes it down a notch during the middle and then comes back up again.
Green Carnation - Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness
This song has it all - great riffs, great singing, everything. If it wasn't for that chick singing a couple of minutes too long, it would have been perfect. Also, the solo for this song is one of my favorites - not techincal at all, with a lot of feel.
Subterranean Masquerade - Temporary Psychotic State (a recollection of where it all began)
I couldn't decide which track of theirs to choose, and in the end I went with the EP track. It took me a while to completely grasp this song, and once I did, it was just... wow. Paul Kuhr really gives his finest performance with great lyrics.
Symphony X - Rediscovery II (The New Mythology)
Mainly for nostalgic reasons - one of my earliest metal experiences. I still think it's a great song, despite the fact that it's wankery or whatever, it just has it all - awesome singing, great heavy riffs, nice idea too.

Congratulations, you're extremely stupid.
1). "Epic" doesn't have anything to do with quality; note the literary genre of epic fantasy.
2). You crave the raunchy buttsex.

Some Candlemass song. I barely even listen to metal, so I can't be more specific.

In Solitude
Edge Of Sanity's Crimson and Crimson II definitely qualify, and I would also have to say Opeth's The Night And The Silent Water.

Helloween - Keeper Of The Seven Keys
Actually I'm not a big powermetal fan, but I grew up with this album, so I like it. I think it's a very cool song and although some cheesyness, definately an epic.

This thread was about "Metal Epics". Tenhi ain't met0l lol.
But yeah, still really, really great, (my favourite mellow band), and they deserve to be mentioned in this thread. All of their albums are epic as hell.
Some other songs I'd suggest.
From Kauan - Etäisyyksien taa, Soutu
From Väre - Varis eloinen, Jäljen, Suortuva
From Maaäet - Tuulenkaato, Varpuspäivä
From Airut-Aamujen - Kuvajainen, Seitsensarvi
