'The Phantom Opera Ghost' by Iced Earth is a pretty epic song. 4:34 - 5:45 is bloody amazing.

I always considered Judas Priest's "Blood Red Skies" quite epic.

Heard it live! Finally, I can say this

I think it is probably Symphony X's The Divine Wings Of Tragedy.

Not the biggest fan of the band, but that song is among my favs ever.

There's many songs I know which I'd class as epic but the most epic of all, for me, has to be;

Moonsorrow - Jumalten Kaupunki Incl. Tuhatvuotinen Perintö

Odyssey by Symphony X - Not only for its length, but its excellent song-writing vocals and anything that can describe the epic poem The Odyssey by Homer has to be pretty epic.

Dante's Inferno by Iced Earth and Alexander the Great by Iron Maiden come to mind also.

Mana by Equilibrium

I agree with all that think Dante's Inferno by Iced Earth! Man this song kicks fucking ass!

Falkenbach "Baldurs Tod"... or something like this.

Mana by Equilibrium

I second this. Listen to it and try not to have your mind blown.

Celestial Elixir by Haken



That kids is how you win at songwritting.

Rainbow - Starstruck
Porcupine Tree - Anesthize
Bathory - One Rode To Asa Bay
Rush - 2112

The title track of the new Wintersun album is the textbook definition of "eargasmic". I adore it, it's the best song I've heard all year.

The album closer on Wodensthrone's Curse has to be a contender.

Beautiful song, I should check that album out sometime, loved their second album Visions.

I preffered Aquarius to Visions myself. I like a bit of darkness in my prog.

On a related note, I recently made an album with the following epic songs that I could fit on it

The Pinnacle by Kansas
Close to the Edge by Yes
Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin
Grinning Mouths by Isis
Purify by Neurosis
Hallowed Be Thy Name by Iron Maiden
Master of Puppets by Metallica
Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen

That would be this masterpiece

This is a easy one, for me it is Stargazer by Rainbow, Ronnie James Dio's vocals are so freaking amazing on this song!!!

Very hard decision...I can't say that, in my pinion, there is a song that is the one most epic song ever

This. The Odyssey is an epic song written about an epic!
The orchestration is something else, and this is where you will find Russel Allen at the top of his game with his vocals.
Everything about this song just screams "Epic!"

Rhapsody - Holy Thunderforce
Music video is epic too

Best epic beautiful calm scenary
