Favorite Metal Epics

[Jon Snow]

Opeth - Advent \m/ :immortal: \m/

Amazing song

 

[S<issors]

Dream Theater-In the Presence of Enemies pt 1,2

Slightly ridiculous chorus in one section of pt. 2 ("dark master withiiiiin....") but other than that, awesome song.

 

[Risquit]

Rainbow--"Gates of Babylon" and "Stargazer". Two huge songs from Ronnie James Dio and Ritchie Blackmore that to me sound like real metal epics even though they came out smack dab in the middle of the 70s.

 

[FUBAR]

Arcturus - And to end yet again

the last 5 mins or so of this song is pure cinematic epicness!

 

[opeth_353]

Actually.. I'm going to be a cheeky bastard and nominate my own band!

Amaurosis - Track 1 (The latest version).

When my band releases our debut, we'll have a little message on the lyric booklet saying 'Best Enjoyed With A Few Drinks And Spliffs"..

 

[Pethical]

In The Woods - 299.796 KM/S


Green Carnation - Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness

[metalhead416]

Manowar - Warriors of the World United

MASTERS of Tr00 metal.....exactly....nwohting is more epic than manowar....

Bang on... love Rainbow.

I can't believe Isis hasn't rated a mention so far

Isis - Carry
Isis - The Beginning and the End
The Butterfly Effect - Reach

More will hit me later.

 

[Lothlorien]

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.

very nice.

Enslaved - 793 (Slaget om Lindisfarne)

Actually I'm a bit surprised to be the first one to say that.

good choice.

Thick as a Brick

very nice.

 

[opeth_353]

Maybe but they helped creating Black Metal.

Smite....heh heh... didn't see that vocab coming. Even spelled correctly. Holy shit, waz...

 

[i aint play this]

I think that by ''smite'', he meant ''kill''

 

[i aint play this]

[S<issors]

Manowar are hilariously awful..

Fixed ^

 

[soundave]

I think that by ''smite'', he meant ''kill''

Yes. Of course. I know. I'm just shocked he used that word. Seems very un-waz. And i just sort of enjoy that word. It's the english teacher in me, I suppose... Or the metal geek...

 

[Hypnos]

Alchemist - Tide In, Mind Out

 

[Kenneth R.]
