 Epic metal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Epic Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music.
Other metal bands have produced songs that fit the battle metal genre; the power metal band Thy Majestie is an example.
A typical property of epic metal is a certain grandiose element and a penchant for trumpets, violins or even a full orchestra accompaniment.

 Metal Invader - The True Metal Experience
Metal Invader: I remember that in an interview you said that you had recorded lots of songs for “Return of the Warrior” and not all of them would be included on the album.
Metal Invader: I think that both albums will be released on vinyl by Metal Supremacy Records sometime soon.
Metal Invader: what were the reactions of the fans for the new album and also for the debut; I think that IRONSWORD doesn’t appeal to the “open-minded” fans and touches only 80’s freaks (of course this isn’t bad).

 HOT NEW AOR/PROG/HARDROCK/METAL REVIEWS
Metal album with such lovely songs like “Premonition”, “Masquerade” and “Absinthe and rue”, but the only thing is the difference in vocal range, as the singer on this debut CD was Rod Tyler, and he just isn’t as good as the fantastic RUSSELL ALLEN.
The new CD is an epic album with some long concept based songs, such as “The aquilonia suite” which is an 11 minutes counting epic based on the ‘Conan the Barbarian’ books by R.E. Howard.
The band was formed around 20 years ago, but their debut CD was released in 1997, and in those 7 years 4 CDs are released, all on the DRAGONHEART RECORDS label.

 Metal Invader - The True Metal Experience
Metal Invader: Give me a bio of the band for those that may be unfamiliar with the band.
Do you think that the member of a Heavy Metal band must be like you (into the underground) or being someone who doesn’t care about the other bands; This is also the same for fans, as they are satisfied with the 10-15 bands their magazine feeds them and they are not interested for more.
I’ve tried to put an epic feeling on the music and lyrics but unfortunately there are only three songs hehe.

 Summoning - Epic Black Metal
Expect highly rhythmic, melodic music with harsh vocals stretched into freely associating epic songs of the abyss.
In the traditional overdriven high pitched shriek of black metal, vocalist Silenius pares the aerodynamics of phrase and interjects combinations which serve as understudy to structural cues should they be missed by the listener.
Their melodies are based around a complexity rooted in the classical style but adapted through the shifting phrasing of show tunes and rock n roll, producing a welcoming but bizarrely ornate and archaic aesthetic out of familiar musical styles.

 Metal Blade Records - Online
Jacobs Dream released their first self-titled CD on Metal Blade Records in January of 2000 and then followed it with the release of Theater of War in 2001 and the response was immediate.
Not attempting to recycle the past but rather to keep a tradition of true metal in a new millennia Look for the new CD to be released in the spring of 05.
Combining a wide array of musical influences from classical to NWOBHM, melodic death metal, Jacobs Dream have molded a strong new sound in the power / epic metal vein.

 Forefather : Engla Tocyme - Review at Harvest Moon Music
I find it admirable for the members of metal bands to take pride in their heritage and create original and memorable songs based on the history, folkore, and mythology of their cultures (Cruachan being an example of one of my favorites).
Actually a duo, Forefather was formed by brothers Wulfstan and Athelstan in 1997 and over the next 3 years released two albums of epic blackish metal on their own label.
Forefather is one of those rare bands that has managed to create an imposing work of heroic metal worthy of the history they represent.

Influenced by thrash metal, and also hardcore and punk, that takes its name from the "grinding" sound made by the atonal riffs 'grinding' into one another.
Metal being arguably the broadest genre in music, as well as one of the most passionate sub-cultures NEEDS to be labeled!
Also referred to as Satanic war metal or simply as war metal and originating from Australia, it is characterized by a fusion of death metal rhythm section with 1980s thrash-style guitar riffs and vocals, particularly influenced by European thrash bands such as Sodom, Kreator and Coroner.

 Setherial - Epic Black Metal
Keyboards often seem to taken from an Emperor album and tempo changes are reminiscent of earlier material by the same band, but vocals are entirely different in the squawking screeching holocaust of abrasive blast of vocal anti-text.
For example, the sometimes predictable tendency of the band to break into slower, strum-driven rolling melodic interludes, originates in the epic tendencies of Immortal, Emperor and other more-conventional and musically literate bands.
The sound is crowded, compressed and unmanageably neo-jangly at times as a result.

 Main CD Catalog Titles E page 2
From Bulgaria, this CD is a stunning collaboration of epic yet uptempo doom metal and traditional 1980s heavy metal, bringing to mind bands and albums like Candlemass' Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, Doomsword, Manilla Road's Open the Gates, Cirith Ungol and Russia's Aria.
The predecessor to 'The Bulgarian God', this CD was crafted in1996, recorded 2000, and finally released in 2003.
The songwriting is perhaps not as consistently memorable as the excellent 'Riddle...' album that preceded it, but there are still some excellent power metal songs on this CD.

 KamForum - Official Kamelot Discussion Board > Epic Metal
Therion is the most Epic band to me. Some other good ones are (as you mentioned) Rhapsody, especially with their most recent album, Haggard (sort of like therion, less epic more folk), and Lacrimosa, oh, and Hollenthon as well.
Thy Majestie's lastest album, Hastings 1066, is obviously epic in sound and plot, considering the story it is telling.
Rhapsody sings purely about fantasy, but their stories and sound are also epic.

 Metal Rules!!:  Interview with Stormlord
They are very well known, but the people who listen to them are absolutely not into metal, so for us it's not a problem to have these bands touring around.
You have to understand that my favorite music is Thrash Metal, so there'll be a lot of influences from this side, obviously all in the classic Stormlord style.
We respect true black metal, and surely the old masters of black metal are strongly in our roots, but for me black metal means an attitude, very raw music and to be anti-Christian.

 The Metal Crypt - Reviews
For all intents and purposes, the new epic metal quartet known as Fairyland is actually Dark Moor in disguise.
The two most important ingredients in Epic/Symphonic metal are the lead vocalist and the quality of the songwriting.
Plus, if you were a fan of Dark Moor, you’ll cry tears of joy after hearing this album, because although the band Dark Moor is gone forever, their musical vision will live on with Fairyland.

We hesitate to call this a metal album, but this does have a healthy dose of the metal madness but equal parts of gothic vocals, and diverse elements that make this a strange listening experience.

 Ink 19 :: Rhapsody
Rhapsody hails from the north of Italy and was founded by epic symphonic Hollywood metal guitarist Luca Turilli and epic symphonic Hollywood metal keyboardist Alex Staropoli in the early 1990s after a brief first life as Thundercross.
The result, with all its fantastic imagery and storytelling, swords, and battle-won honor, is metal written as classical symphony, rather than "rock." The effect is what one would expect had Mozart outsourced his music to Manowar.
Rounding out the rest of the band is Fabio Lione (epic symphonic Hollywood metal vocals), Alessandro Lotta (epic symphonic Hollywood metal bass) and Alex Holzwarth (epic symphonic Hollywood metal drums).

Doomsword is an Italian band which draws its influences both from Epic Doom acts such as Candlemass and Heavy Metal bands like Manowar.

This entire release is dripping with epic story telling of battles and great warriors (truly in the tradition of for example Manowar).
