Favourite Long Epic Tracks
What are you favorite epics? Talking about tracks that are 7+ minutes and make time fly. The ultimate heavy/epic/power/doom/thrash/technothrash/prog/black/death magnum opuses that send shivers down your spine.
Here's some of my favourites, more will surely be added later:
CIRITH UNGOL - Master of the pit 07:09
CIRITH UNGOL - Chaos rising 08:42
BATHORY - A fine day to die 08:36
CLOVEN HOOF - Return of the passover 9:01
HALLOW'S EVE - Hallow's eve (including Routine) 08:05
HAMMER (UK) - Across the line 08:00
DEALER (UK) - Final conflict demo '84 version 09:52
BATHORY - Blood and iron 10:25 (and basically anything from Hammerheart, Twillight of the gods and Blood on ice that fits the description)
CANDLEMASS - A sorcerer's pledge 08:18
DREAM THEATER - The killing hand 08:42 (from the times when DT played some decent music)
FATES WARNING - Nothing left to say 07:59
and a whole bunch of old MAIDEN tracks.

I came to think of Hades' "Masque of the Red Death", maybe not the greatest of compositions but it has a rather cool riff and it produced quite an eerie mood. At least it did when I was in my late teens - I got to pull it out of the shelf and see what it does for me these days, twenty years later.
(hope the track is long enough to be included here - from what I remember, it was)

It doesn't have to be necessarily something like Manowar or Bathory. It can also be something from the second Heathen album for example or something from Summoning's Minas Morgul. Or even Incantation's Unto Infinite Twilight / Majesty of Infernal Damnation! Just name some long tracks that kick ass!

It's the last truly great ManOwaR album imo. It's flawed, but at least it left us some classics. As for the track in question, if you exclude the solo parts, for me the rest it's up there with the best moments of 80's ManOwaR.DaN wrote:Urrgh... For me that song and its album was the beginning of the end for ManOwaRION BRITTON wrote:MANOWAR - Achilles, agony and ecstasy in eight parts
