Epic music.

[Exile]

Probably the best kind of music out there for me is the kind that makes you want to jump up and shout out a war cry of sorts.

Things like

Or

Etc.

I know of all the pieces of art by Two steps from Hell already. Any other bands, groups or solo's out there who classify as epic? Share away.

[Montezuma/Kukulcan]

Emerald Sword
And...
Dawn of Victory

Both by Rhapsody (of Fire)

And various E Nomine tracks, for example, Opus Magnum and E Nomine (same name as the band, yes).


Also, Mike, you have just re-awakened my interest in Nightwish (kudos to 11/10 for showing me their work in the first place).


Edit: And when it comes to game music, while RA may have some epic win, I still prefer DoW music, like this.

I'll put in my two cents' worth:

Requiem For a Dream

My apologies if this is a repeat, but it is an exceptionally good song. It isn't as rock-oriented as the other pieces here, but it definitely falls into the category of "Epic".

The Greycliffe -- Conscientia et Tacitus

Mike? Real quick: To be clear, you want this 'epic music' thread to differentiate itself from the 'epic tunes' thread by posting classical style music or what? I'm honestly confused why you made this one:unsure:

Pretty much "what gets you going". Think what you put on when you're about to charge into 52 Corsairs.

I may put up some more later, but i kinda agree with Marburg.. I don't get the point. But hey, music is music.

Yeah, Charlie Clouser has that effect on me:crazy:

However, if I were going after 53 'sairs instead, I'd have to go with Slayer- Aggressive Perfector

[NOVA-5]
