Top 10 German Metal Songs Longer than 8 Minutes
What are the most epic examples of the German metal epicness?
A song of 2002 that contains 14:06 epic minutes with symphonic orchestration and impressive multi-layered (overdubbed) vox resembling a choir but there's no choir. It's just the lead singer singing his head off on numerous vocal tracks to create those vocal harmonies and choir effects.
The recording of this song required as much production time as the rest of the album. No wonder - the song is quite long, quite intricate and has so many tracks.
The song has 3 studio versions - I like the most the re-recorded version of 2012. Geez, they even re-recorded this monster song (10 years later).
Symphonic metal done right.
Man, doesn't this sound really epic?
08:44 minutes of classic German power metal
I love this song (11:11 minutes long)
Awesome instrumental (16:23)
I put this song at #10 only because it's extreme metal and not because it doesn't deserve to be higher. It's 15:12 minute long (progressive death metal). People who like this subgenre would appreciate the song.
It's safe to play the sample even if you aren't a metal fan because it features a soft and beautiful section.
"Kurzes Epos" means Short Epic. Haha...it's 13:02 minutes long
The entire song sounds epic but the section from 6:20-7:40 is one of the most epic things I've ever heard - so intense, so powerful, so epic. Great build up.
