I would like to know everyone's favorite songs over 10 minutes in length. Maybe someone will even post a song that I have never heard, so I can check it out. My favorites are

Burzum - Det Som En Gang Var (Not my favorite song from Varg, but the atmosphere it creates is unparalleled. One of the riffs is awesome too.)

Symphony X - The Odyssey (Words can't really describe how good this song is. Amazing. The solos, keys, and drums area all great through the 24 minutes)

Opeth - The Moor (The intro alone is worth all the praise this song gets from us Opeth fans. Everything about the song is perfect, Mikael's vocals, the acoustic guitars, the heavy guitars, also I heard there is a sigh in the song, and nobody know how it came to be there. None of the band members sighed while recording, so I wonder what it was...)

Nile - Unas Slayer of the Gods (The horns in the middle of the songs are what really make this song a favorite of mine. The solo helps a little too)

Iced Earth - Dante's Inferno (My favorite Iced Earth song. It has some of the best lyrics and riffs ever. "Abandon all hope who enter here")

Iron Maiden- Rime Of The Ancient Mariner (Maiden must be mentioned in this list for me. THis is my favorite 10+ minute song by them because of the mellow part of the songs and the feeling that this song evokes]


I could go on and on, but I won't. The reason I didn't choose a Dream Theater song is because I can't choose one, same goes for Porcupine Tree. Also there are way more good Opeth songs than this, but I won't post them all.

Thanks for posting!

When it's done properly, we're not talking about music anymore at that stage.It's more like a transe that sinks deeper and deeper in your mind.

Call it what you will. It took me a lot of time to get accustomed with the ten minute tracks, but the ones that last an hour? That's just extreme.

It is the same as listening to an album in one spin.It depends on yhe bands, some are great but others are a real torture to listen to

Mana-Equilibrium

It slipped my min but it is on the same epic leve as The Odyssey and it evokes so many images of glory,combat,passion and many more.An author could come with a great saga just by using this song as an inspiration.

Now I'm riding through the air
going to where no one dares
on the way I'll cross the line forevermore.
For once in life, I do not care
nothing matters, now I dare
On the ride I'll cross the line
forever to be free

Currently my favourite 10+ minute song is In an Excruciating Way Infested With Vermin and Violated by Executioners Who Practise Incendiarism and Desanctifying the Pious by <b>Wormphlegm</b> it clocks in at 32'07"
Weird thing is that since I have it on vinyl it is split up into a 17 minute and 15 minute part.

The song is great. I had to download it because it wasnt sold anywhere round here, but the download was split in two as well.
