I am looking for more epic songs that are on par with Ghost Love Score. I have other epic songs that are almost as good by: Dream Theater, Avenged Sevenfold, and Metallica, but none of them are really as good. Please reply with epic songs. They don't have to be metal either, thats just pretty much what I have for epic songs.

If you haven't listened to Ghost Love Score by Nightwish and don't know where the bar is set, please do yourself a favor and listen to it. Link

They are good don't get me wrong, just not as EPIC as Ghost Love Score. Why do you got to call Nightwish a nobody band?

Ok, first of all A7X is a joke i honestly do not see the appeal in anything, except may a few of their earlier songs. Seriously people they suck :P Dream Theater, Metallica not good? Wtf are you smoking :P, anyways Rush, Shadow Gallery, Iron Maiden, Opeth, Summoning. It's not that hard to find epic music :|

Good song, listened to it several times. Not long enough to be what I call epic, even though the song is titled epic.

Dimmu Borgir - Serpentine Offering. Much more epic than that song.

Once again, I didn't say Metallica and Dream Theater were not good. If you don't like A7X that is fine with me they have lots of haters. I was referring to their longer songs. Anyways any specific songs by those bands? I am looking for songs not bands. BTW I love Iron Maiden.

The Birth and Death of the Day by Explosions in the Sky. It really kicks into gear at around 4 minutes in.

Pretty much everything these guys do is epic. They actually refer to their music as "cathartic mini-symphonies."

Not sure if you're into this kind of music, but Genesis' Suppers ready is probably the most epic song I've heard The song's a whopping 23 minutes long!

This is probably my favourite performance of it, but unfortunately it's only the second half. Youtube doesn't have the first half.

No, it doesn't. This put me in a mood to listen to that. I'm gonna need to get food first, if I'm going to listen to it all at once.

Epic songs? Look into Hans Zimmer, James Newton Howard, John Powell, etc, and their original movie compositions. These three are usually genius.

Requiem For A Dream

XxSTILL_BORNxX
Most Epic Song EVER!!! ^^^ Try, Black Rose Immortal by Opeth (20 mins long, you will only find it in 2 parts I think) Various songs by Epica (obviously :roll: ) Some songs by Tristania are pretty epic. Ensiferum and Alestorm can be a different kind of epic, for some reason Enisferum's music reminds me of the Rohirrim (from LotR)

Just finished this song. Truly was an epic song. I didn't care for the beginning or end. I don't know why they had to use infant sounds. Anyways I am burnt out for the day, will finish listening to the rest of the songs tomorrow and maybe the next day too depending on how many more posts I get and how long the songs are.

About 4 songs on the Use Your Illusion albums from Guns N Roses would be considered epic if not overproduced and self-indulgent.

I have no idea what your definition of "epic" means, so reading posts im going to guess that you are talking about long songs? Since someone mentioned Rush already, Pink Floyd, The Who, Led Zepplin have a crap load of "epic" songs. If your not into the classic rock scene, then Pearl Jam, and Smashing Pumpkins have songs that fit into that list as well.

Achilles Last Stand (sp?) by Led Zeppelin. It's Jimmy Pages favorite song

2112 by Rush
