Most Epic Songs Of All Times

It seems some people are looking for epic non-metal music and I would like to recommend swedish prog/jazz artist Bo Hansson. Maybe not epic in the same way as the epic-metal scene is but it's quite mindblowing. Check out the Lord of the Rings record for example.

Legend (USA) - The Destroyer (1979) could be one of the first created.

But in my opinion, Medieval Steel, Manilla Road and Omen released most of the best epic metal songs in history. I shouldn't forget, maybe because of my last meetings with them, to Sacred Steel and Holy Martyr, which are playing great epic songs in their respective styles.

Greetings

I think the first songs that spring to mind, the ones I involuntarily starts humming when in an epic mood would be:

Y DIAWLED - Noson Y Blaidd - a fucking MAJESTIC piece of proud, swordclashing METAL and one of the best pieces of music ever written.
MANOWAR - Bridge Of Death - the #1 "classic" in this field. Manowar's best song ever?
MASTER'S HAMMER - Já nechci mnoho trápiti již pánové váš sluch - words can never describe the genious of that opening riff, verse, brigde and chorus. Pure Epic Metal Glory!
SKYCLAD - Womb Of The Worm - kind of a joker, but this is simply a masterpiece and really fucking intense and epic.
LEGEND (US) - The Golden Bell - no comments needed

I agree with you in Noson Y Blaidd (nice female vocals) and also in The Golden Bell although, as said above, I prefer The Destroyer.

Street Child-Building A Wall
Salem's Wych-Never Ending Battle
Avalon-New King Rising
Manilla Road-Necropolis
Omen-Last Rites
Arryan Path-Road To Macedonia
Medieval Steel-Medieval Steel

Howl in the Sky is a great song but the rest of the album is not so good.

I love Medieval Steel and Necropolis too!

I uploaded "The Slave" to youtube some months ago...

I don't know if it is mentioned before, but Wyxmer Mystikal Wyvern should be in the list of best epic/lyrical songs!

I only know for sure what is the LEAST epic song of all time: Napalm Death "You suffer".

ION BRITTON · Post by **ION BRITTON** » Sun Feb 13, 2011 10:43 am

One more to add

TAIST OF IRON - Cross of fire

This belongs to the list with the greatest US Metal tracks as well

A worthy contender that is, but I'd rather go for "Dead Pt. 1"

BLIND FURY, Dance of the crimson lady (part 1)

Amazing!

Hehe, yes, it's possible.

It's an obvious one but I didn't notice it mentioned. FATES WARNING - The Apparition, one of the most glorious epic masterpieces I expect I'll ever hear, not in length perhaps but certainly in songwriting and message.

Another no-brainer would be Beyond the Realms of Death. Timeless majesty!
