 Topic: Greatest Metal Epics!Posted: 21 Feb 2011 at 1:07am |

I am really into the epics of metal - those tracks that are 10 minutes or more full of many killer riffs and lead breaks. I kind of collect them so I hope this thread introduces me to some new ones.
Let's go for the obvious here first
perhaps my fave Maiden ever
and this classic that still gives me the chills, incredible blast of riffs and a gargantuan drumming sound, with those powerful vocals!
and this amazing epic
and of course the mega blasts of prog excess here! Listen to the whole thing!

 For sure. One of the first metal epics I think I heard, and I still have yet to hear one to top it. It's not immediately diverse, but it's probably Meshuggah's most musically experimental work yet (besides that noise at the end of Elastic). |

Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

Crimson by Edge of Sanity! Best death metal epic ever, IMO. Also Octavarium, Six Degrees, and the Perfect Element.

Well it�s kind of a mini-epic but the title track from Diary of a Madman by Ozzy Osbourne should also be mentioned IMO:
