Epic songs, and without Manowar?
Everything in this masterpiece is epic - epic length (14:08), epic composition with many parts that get more intense, symphonic orchestration, epic story, and last but not least - mindblowing vocals from Hansi Kürsch with complex overlapping vocal harmonies creating a choir effect. Just amazing!
The song is about the final days of Troy, as foreseen by Cassandra, daughter of the king of the destroyed city. - Metal_Treasure

Epicness is flowing through my body when the third solo starts. - Userguy44

I like this a little better than Bohemian Rhapsody. - Catacorn
Much greater and more epic than BoRap.

Listen to this Before you vote its pretty epic - christangrant
Very good

This masterpiece from Ritchie Blackmore and Dio (1976) pretty much defined "epic" in metal music. - Metal_Treasure

One of the most underrated songs of all time, like a modern symphony, of such beauty and grace. It might not be a classic like many other more famous epic songs, but to me, it is the most complex and beautiful of those songs. - Martin_Canine
Incredible song. Symphonic, beautiful and 100% epic. Listen to the 2013 version live at Wacken Open Air with the singer Floor Jansen. Watch it right to the end - it's incredible.


16:26 min long. Jon Schaffer rules!
I only don't like the song sample on here - it's not the original, it's a live version with abother singer. It's good for a live version but you know, the original studio version should have been on here. - Metal_Treasure


From the masters of epicness - Blind Guardian. - Metal_Treasure

This is what you can call epic! - Userguy44



Yes

Like it

Epic symphonic metal at its best - one of the most impressive and crafted songs I've ever heard. - Metal_Treasure


This song is pretty overrated, but I still think it's epic. - allamassal




No words for it. - Userguy44

What why is this not number 1?


If you think the intro was epic enough. Listen to the outro as well. - Userguy44
The galloping riffs and the harmonies... Need I say more?

This is a great song, without a doubt, but how does it qualify as "epic"? - Martin_Canine

It's right in the title.
Just give it a listen. - Userguy44
Literally the most uplifting and driving song of all time. Pretty much any meatloaf song could be here, but Bat Outta Hell really is the epitome when it comes to epic songs that have all sorts of rides throughout them.





The "RAIN DOWN" segment in particular - xandermartin98
It's weird and epic in a strange way. - Userguy44
