this is so fucking hard for me to make because of the incredible large amount of songs i love...so here i go

10-Burzum - Key to the gate : Min 2:58 when Varg screams "...to hell..." and the solo kicks in...

9-Mutiilation - Travels To Sadness, Hate And Depression : From 5:03 to 5:30 the most intense part of the song.

8-Bathory - One rode to asa bay : From: 7:31 when he says "...people of Asa land, it's only just begun..." and the solo kicks in...its just beautifull

7- Wormphlegm - In An Excruciating Way Infested With Vermin And Violated By Executioners Who Practise Incendiarism And Desanctifying The Pious : when Conqueror Worm Grubgorge Pestilent Diarrhoeator screams "the doomed await the coming torment..." its the most inhuman vocals i've ever listened to...

6-Ossadogva - Gates to the Yog-Sothoth :From 0:01 to 1:30 The intro, those whispering voices are so eerie... to me this song is complete.

5-Summoning - Long lost to where no pathway goes - : 0:27 when the guitar kicks in...is just amazing.

4-Summoning - Land of the dead : from 0:01 to 0:30 that intro just digs into my cold dead dry heart.. and from 7:32 until 8:56....this was the part when i usually grabbed my cape and started acting like a medieval dragonslayer...Fuck..

3-Ahab - The hunt : 3:51...."...Whale ahead..." This is one of the best moments in funeral doom ever...it gives me chills....

2-Gorgoroth - Gathered at Blakulla : from 0:01 to 1:22....the best album intro ever made....it makes me want to grab a hammer and smash all who crosses my way...

1- Still thinking...

I think doing a top ten for something like this is extremely hard...but I can list a ten that are utterly sublime...



Ne Obliviscaris - Tapestry of the Starless Abstract
The whole song in general is just amazing, however what strikes me as epic are those four minutes of sublime music after the acoustic interlude.


Mirrorthrone - A Scream to Express the Hate of a Race
The harmonized clean vocals and the section that follows.


Enslaved - Essence
The chorus is just phenomenal!


Enslaved - Lightening
The moment those harsh vocals come in for the first time is just mindblowing...it is so powerful and so cool.


Behemoth - Conquer All
Nergal knows how to write fantastic solos...this is one of his best...


Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Blaise Bailey Finnegan III
The part where the string section comes in near the end...the song as a whole is extremely interesting, but when that string section hits...they achieve a something akin to musical nirvana...


Lost Soul - 216
One of the few songs I could listen to for hours...that long solo near the middle is fantastic! I guess Poland knows how to write some of my favorite solos...


Fleshgod Apocalypse - Retrieving My Carcass
The "breakdown-esque" part in the middle and as the last part of the song. Incredibly driving and just pure badass...


Ihsahn - Unhealer
"You're peace is not my peace..."
The moment that part starts...HOLY SHIT


Animals as Leaders - Cafo
The ascending tapping lick makes this song just so far beyond cool...

i didnt said you could post your top 10.

you didnt said?

YOu didn't say I couldn't either!

Gentleman...cant you read the sarcasm in my words?
lol

10. Emperor - Ye Entrancemperium: When Ihsahn does the long "NEVER!" and goes back to the main riff

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R_TFu4Nmd4#t=4m20s

9. Akercocke - Praise the Name of Satan: "SAAATAAAAAAAAN!!!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zN248Gc4oH8#t=4m8s

8. Dismember - Override of the Overture: DAT RIFF

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0ZCAarIVSI#t=3m18s

7. Dismember - Skinfather: "Why don;t you just kill yourself?" --> DAT BREAKDOWN

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcT4DncVlh8#t=1m44s

6. Portal - Swarth: Most disturbing sounding chord in metal history

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG4pNHsVe3o#t=0m41s

5. Suffocation - Breeding the Spawn: One of the most intense breakdowns in metal

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_PBve_a4os#t=1m50s

4. Windir - Svartesmeden og Lundamyrstrollet: The melody is just perfect, fucking majestic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz-UA6rjQ8Q

3. Carcass - Corporal Jigsore Quandary: The Beat --> The Riff --> The Lead

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qas0CxFbnvg#t=0m20s

2. Suffocation - Infecting the Crypts: Probably my favorite breakdown in all of metal, especially once the blast beats start up around 3:38

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BY2mr8ewLg#t=3m14s

1a. Morbid Angel - Chapel of Ghouls: "GHOULS ATTACK THE CHURCH! CRUSH THE HOLY PRIEST! TURNING THE CROSS TOWARDS HELL! WRITHE IN SATAN'S FLAMES!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz80M3aVyjY

1b. Morbid Angel - Chapel of Ghouls: "OOOH DEAD! YOUR GOD IS DEAD! FOOLS! YOUR GOD IS DEAD! USELESS PRAYERS OF LIES! BEHOLD SATAN'S RISE!"

1c. Morbid Angel - Chapel of Ghouls: THE FUCKING RIFF

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz80M3aVyjY#t=1m29s

1d. Morbid Angel - Chapel of Ghouls: "DEMOOOONSS! ATTACK! WITH HATE!!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hz80M3aVyjY#t=3m22s


Basically the entire fucking song is amazing

Not a top ten and in no particular order, but epic nonetheless.

1. Ahab - The Hunt. WHALE AHEAD!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHVkJgwAXgE#t=3m49s

2. Battleroar - Death Before Disgrace. Probably the most epic way to end an album...ever. Several fist pounding riffs that lead into a killer solo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZTONtx53oU#t=5m25s

3. Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust (Live Meltdown). The vocals at the end are jaw-dropping, and not to mention this is a live performance. This guy was seriously underrated at Judas Priest's vocalist.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9iV8xlidto#t=2m35s

4. Lost Horizon - Highlander. Wooooaaah oh ahhh ahhh haaa ahhhh oh oh!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X37p0l000TQ#t=4m25s

5. Summoning - The Passing of the Grey Company. The part at 1:00 always gets me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyqMj1ANFX8#t=0m55s

6. Manilla Road - Dreams of Eschaton live. No explanation is needed here. One of the best performances ever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LYipKH_oOs

7. Wotan - The Quest For the Holy Grail. Lots of people seem to dislike this. They are false entries.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5h3PM0KJl0

8. Doomsword - Heathen Assault. Burn! England to the ground!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewkz0bl5nVA

9. Tyranny - Coalescent of the Inhumane Awareness. There is nothing slower, nothing more crushing, and nothing more intense than this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32DzQawS194#t=2m28s

10. Manowar - Warrior's Prayer. Derp.

this is really hard lol. i may have a list in a year lol

i like everyone's different perception of epic..

not trying to start debate...i actually find it intriguing

I like this idea I will definitely come up with a list of awesome moments later

Equilibrium - Mana

I don't even need a top 10. This just shits all over everything else.

I need to listen to some of these. I completely agree with the beginning of the Land of the Dead. I wish the melody used in the intro was used more throughout the song. The chorus is the other highlight.

Will think of list :O My favorite moments are always changing

I want to choose 10 but mana appears on that list... so I will choose the moment of mana that ruins me. (in agood way)

4:00-6:00 (not exact times...just that area.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqdwDxnH5bE

---^ kinda this part mwuahahahaha

I want to find the most defining epic moments for me...for each band I listen to..because it depends on mood for me. I could pick an equilibrium song every single time right now cause I am in a mood for them.

take your time boys..an

Just fucking everything by Equilibrium. My gushing can never do them justice.

Just pick 10 random Equilibrium songs. There's my list.

-Solo on Death's cover of Painkiller. Seriously, such an awesome solo.
-The first solo in One rode to Asa Bay
Hmmm, I'll think of more later.

The chorus in Deathmask Divine.
