This list represents my for sure subjective feeling of what to call "epic" in terms of metal. It is worth considering that I am not a big fan of power metal... So the list is rather based on melodic death/black variations.

I will for sure add more albums as soon as they appear on the scene (and I find them impressive enough). If you have suggestions, please share with me (and the others)!

1. Atoma - Skylight

2. Wintersun - Time I

3. Wintersun - Wintersun

4. Brymir - Breathe Fire to the Sun

5. Moonsorrow - Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa

My version of The Epics (Best Songs Over 10 Minutes) only this time it's more The Epics (Songs Over 10 Minutes) because we kept griping to PG and he wouldn't update his list. According to his profile he hasn't been on in... 371 days. So I thought "Hey, why not do it myself?"
Arranged by time. If you feel or know a song should be on here, let me know. I'm a mainstream fag, so I only listen to the popular stuff. I might have missed some bands.

1. Be'lakor - Stone's Reach

2. Kalisia - Cybion

3. Sun Of The Blind - Skullreader

4. Nile - Ithyphallic

5. Nightwish - Once
