I have their Warhammer 40,000 concept album, absolutely bleedin brilliant..in fact, digging out its vinyl goodness when I get home, thanks for the reminder :)
 
This is going back a good decade to my metal days, but what about the Paradise Lost back catalogue? Draconian times is prety epic and melodic stuff and considered a classic.

Who said they would?

Doesn't mean I can't hate Maiden for being a bunch of whining, sackless poofs who couldn't write their way out of a paper bag. They're about as 'Metal' as Coldplay.

Poor thing.

I was brought up listening to Late eighties/early nineties extreme metal, thirties, forties and fifties swing, blues and jazz, seventies rock and some damn good hiphop.

Manowar are the most manly men ever and would eat you alive.

You seriously think that I think they are the best metal band of all time...?

My mum likes Deacon Blue, Dido and that's it.

My dad likes dad-rock.

I found my musical taste myself, mainly. ;)

Too bad they're all crap.

Brutal Death =/= Epic

If you want epic metal then listen to anything by Strapping Young Lad, they are insane. Tracks to check out are...

All hail the new flesh.
Detox.
Shine.
****storm.

I don't see how you can call their music 'epic' though.
Awesome as they are, they're just thrash, really.
 
Not sure if this is what you are looking for but Apocalyptica are what I'd describe as symphonic.

"Hope" is a very powerful track IMO and should give you an idea what they are capable of. The original is purely orchestra, with "Hope Vol. 2" featuring vocals.

Carcass, crap?

WTF?

'Heartwork' & 'Necroticism - Descanting the Insalubrious' are timeless masterpieces.

It's a typical knee-jerk response by peons who dislike something I say.

"Yeah...well! All those bands are crap!"

They can't accept the fact that I've just rattled off a list of some great bands.

Carcass were, are and will always be one of the most essential metal bands the world has ever seen.
