Suggestions for epic music.

[rob_simple]

God dammit, these Youtube threads always grind my browser to a halt. Anyhoo, here are my contributions, I don't think they've been mentioned yet:

 

[Lunatic High]

Apocalypitca? I think is the bands name they're kind of a metal orchestra or something did a good verion of Paint it black no vocals to it either or so that I've heard anyway I thinbk they also did work with three days grace as well if you havn't checked that one out thats a suggestion anyways

 

[ChildishLegacy]

This, mainly at 5:40
And this at around 1:00

Listen to them in their entirety anyway, heathens.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Spoiler: Epic Electronic

Annoyingly used in the Kony 2012 video! :/
The last half of this is pretty epic!

Spoiler: Epic Orchestral

Mike Oldfield
From Romeo+Juliet (easily recognisable if you are British... you can't escape this on a Sat night for half the year...)
Phantom of the Opera... true classic!

Spoiler: Epic Rock

Rhapsody (Now Rhapsody of Fire)
Blind Guardian... Bonus points for being about Tolkein's Middle Earth... Extra Epic!

Hope these help!

I've already gotten their rendition of In The Hall Of The Mountain King. Me gusta mucho.

Also, half a gig, and I'm not even close to finished with Mass Effect, Two Steps From Hell or Immediate music. Everything's going better than expected...

 

[dfphetteplace]

This is pretty damn epic. Even has narration by Christopher Lee.

 

[Sexy Devil]

Two Steps From Hell sound like they'd be up your alley. Also 1812 Overture, gotta love Tchaikovsky.

 

[iLikeHippos]

I'm amazed no one has posted The Shattering yet. Or Arthas, My Son. Or any Warcraft melody, theme or epic for that matter.

<spoiler= Three of many>

 

[OvBr]

Damn, got ninjad on Two Steps From Hell, Shoji Meguro, and Symphony X. Consider them seconded.

Aside from that, there's Nox Arcana.

Spoiler

From an album inspired by H.P. Lovecraft: From a Christmas-themed album: And dragons!

And Llewellyn.

Spoiler

Oh yeah, and Hell March.

Spoiler

And of course I can't talk about epic without mentioning Lost Horizon.

Spoiler

If you don't want to listen to the whole thing I guess you could just skip to about 10 minutes in for the best part. But why would you want to?

EDIT: Almost forgot about these two.

Der Erlkönig

Spoiler

First one has a translation of the lyrics, although I personally prefer the second one.

Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 14 "Moonlight" in C sharp minor, Op. 27, No. 2

Spoiler

Watch the second video or skip to 8 minutes into the first video if you just want to hear the epic third movement.

[The Funslinger]

I'm currently looking to add to my music collection - epic music, to be precise - in the style of Onewinged Angel, Doctor Who soundtracks and Ride of the Valkyries epic. Both game music and other scores are appreciated, of course! And it doesn't matter if it's classical orchestral or electric nose flutes, but the most fitting is in the line of what I've already mentioned. Thank you in advance!

Edit: Could a mod please move this to the off topic forum? Just realised it will be better there.

So... badass instrumental stuff, eh?

JOURNEY OF THE SORCERER, *****!


Listen to it all the way through, or taste the back of my hand!

 

[Palademon]

The lack of Libera Me From Hell confuses and infuriates us!

 

[Nouw]

Shoot! I prefer no lyrics, or then latin or something, but it can't hurt. Though I did think Litany of Pain sounded more like random voice clips, which isn't what I'm looking for.

Enjoy the vikings too!​

 

[anthony87]

Rush.

For the answer to any music related question is always Rush.

ALWAYS

And from a video game I give you one of the best pieces of music from Final Fantasy IX

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Silly no0bz, Persona music is obviously the most epic.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

The lack of Libera Me From Hell confuses and infuriates us!

Huh, so that's what the opera language translates into. It makes the theme even sadder.

Rest in peace, you magnificent bastards. Rest in peace.

 

[Spectral Dragon]

Silly no0bz, Persona music is obviously the most epic.

Sorry if that went on a bit. I don't get to talk about the soundtracks as much as I would like

I really, REALLY, don't mind.

So much epic here!

Adding some more:

<youtube=65B1VzW6aYY>

Two Steps From Hell sound like they'd be up your alley. Also 1812 Overture, gotta love Tchaikovsky.

Fits perfectly!

This is all SO EPIC. Escapists, Y U SO AWESOME AT EVERYTHING?

 

[namhorFnodroG]

Oh man, I've just been waiting for one of these threads just to drop off some epic tunes

My first suggestion is anything from Two Steps from hell, all their music is just... Arrgh! I can't describe how epic it is!

Spoiler: Two Steps From Hell

Then we got audiomachine, which also makes epic music. I'd suggest to hear a few of their tunes.


This symphony is pretty epic, but it gets slow at times, so it's not full-on chaos of instruments all the way through.


I also suggest the Batman OST, it's epic.

Here's a tecnho tune which i think is quite epic. I'm just gonna shut up, since i don't wanna fill up the entire thread. :3

 

[Easton Dark]

It's short, but this one is all you really ever need.
