What are some Epic songs?

[runedeadthA]

Heya Escapister's, I was wondering if people could recommend any Epic songs. By epic I don't mean Good or Awesome, though they must be both. I mean BIG! Sweeping masterpieces of music that make anything your doing seem 100% more Important and 150% more awesome.

Examples: The airfield theme('s) from Crysis, Requiem for a dream, Every single peice of music from every action movie trailer of all time.

So, Any recommendations?

Look no further than the group "Two Steps From Hell." I feel they define epic.

Just one example of many:

It has, post #9.


Fear of the Dark or Hallowed Be Thy Name by Iron Maiden would be my choices for epic songs.

Woops, didn't notice that in the list there. Also, I change my answer to Hallowed Be Thy Name.

Well not sure if it's a sweeping epic but definitely makes everything more awesome. Oh and good ol' youtube audio quality.

 

[Jumping_Over_Fences]

I used to have this on my phone as my ringtone. Whenever someone called I would just stare at the phone like some kind of epic gun fight was going to take place. If that doesn't make this an epic song, I don't know what will.

Every time I hear this song I have an uncontrollable urge either punch something or invade Poland. Actually almost all Sabaton songs are epic like this.

OT: No one has said the original song of Epicnes

I favor this style of music as well. Go to my youtube channel: youtube.com/godofcider and you can find a sizable collection of 'epic' songs.
