Yes. Incredible.
I have so many different bootleg videos & live versions of it and I never get sick of it!

QUEENSRYCHE - Roads To Madness
Aaaah what a song! The Warning really is an amazing album
One could imagine the band being swept out to sea never to be seen again right after it's release. That would probably have made them a major cult band forever and not only improving their legacy but also leaving us free to imagine what could have been...
(What, me morbid?)

COMMANDER - 'Die By The Sword'
VALHALLA - 'Break of Darkness'/'Looking For The Light'
Ok that one isn't much over 6 minutes, but how much more epic/heroic/riding on starlight/anything is possible/Heavy Metal rules the world can you get? None more, NONE.
EMERALD - 'Winds of Doom'.
And 'Look To The Stars' should be in there just for being one of the most amazing, soaring, chills-down-your-spine masterpieces ever!!!

MEDIEVAL STEEL - s/t (even though it's a bit short at 5:34, the style and lyrics just reek of valour, struggle and victory)
THE GATES OF SLUMBER - God Wills It (a 20+ minute song about the crusades? It doesn't get more epic than this)
WHILE HEAVEN WEPT - Thus, With A Kiss, I Die (melancholy (and epicness) deluxe)
LEGEND (UK) - Song For A Soldier (depressing as hell, in its kick-ass glory)
PENTAGRAM - Burning Saviour (yes, I prefer the British spelling of the word)
CIRITH UNGOL - Finger Of Scorn (sends chills down my spine everytime)
and last, but not least my favourite 70's psych monster epic:
WICKED LADY - Ship Of Ghosts (singing about the living dead for 22 minutes could be rather tedious, but this song certainly isn't)

Nah, really?
Part 2 must've been one of the few albums I enjoyed because it was so bad and cheesy
Life is a lemon and I want my money back

La Villa Strangiato is amazing. One of the most evocative songs with no vocals for me. The middle part with the ghost notes... ooooh. The whole of progressive metal starts there for inspiration. It's also the song I started to learn on the guitar when I wasn't very good at all and I sorta learned to play the guitar just to do this song. It has influenced my playing wholy.
Slauter Xstroyes I'll have to go with Winterkill too, but it's not 'long' in my ears, it's gone before it's done, I can listen to it 10 times in a row, and have.

Yessss, that's the part that makes the song so timeless...
The entire Hemispheres album is EPIC! My fave for sure.

Wicked Bitch is another amazing Slauter Xstroyes epic. Probably my favorite.

That's exactly the kind of track i'm talking about on this thread. The one that's gone before it's done.
It's a bit less than 7 minutes though.
