[JonG]

Nice thread :chug:

[Daven]

I must also add
Death - Misanthrope
Drudkh - Glare OF Autumn

[Flynn]

Outro:

In Mist She Was Standing ~ Opeth

[IheartSP]

Dimmu Borgir - Eradication Instincts Defined (although the whole song is almost as epic as the intro)
Rhapsody - Epicus Furor
Blind Guardian - Time Stands Still (At the Iron Hill)

Just to name a few...

[pep]

Some part of Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence by dream theater is very epic. And some will flame or whatever, but I think Strenght of the world by Avenged Sevenfold is pretty epic, both intro and outros.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Intros
Possessed - The Exorcist
Mercyful Fate - The Oath, Into The Coven
Municipal Waste - Born To Party
Slayer - Hell Awaits
Nuclear Assault - Fight To Be Free, After The Holocaust, The Plague.

Fact: Any Nuclear Assault song over 3 and a half minutes will always have an extremely awesome intro.

[Txus]

Nice thread :D

Intros:
Death - Flesh And The POwer It Holds
Shadows Fall - Stillness
Into Eternity - Point Of Uncertainty
Opeth - To Bid Your Farewell

I have to think of the outros though.

[MBS]

Comfortably Numb outro.

[[Shadowfox]]

The piano intro to "Phobophile" by Cryptopsy is secks, though it probably isn't epic.

Intro to "Hearts Alive" by Mastodon.
The outro to "Demon of the Fall"? I find it pretty moving.

[Flynn]

Outro:

Ever Dying ~ In Flames :chug:

[Daven]

Outro
Drudkh - The First Snow

[AA-12]

Behemoth - Sculpting The Throne Ov Seth

Fight Like The Devil's intro is better IMO. The riff is soo good.

[Flynn]

Intro:

Gorod Rises Up ~ Gorod

[Mikesn]

Intro and Outro: Paschendale - Iron Maiden

[Txus]

Fight Like The Devil's intro is better IMO. The riff is soo good.

[Seafroggys]

Intro's - 1st Movement to Eroica Symphony, Beethoven
Outtro's - War Pigs by Black Sabbath

I sat there and put four speakers all around my head just to hear the intro fo this. I love it.

[gillygan]

Intros: Amon Amarth- An Ancient Sign of Coming Storm
Corporation 187- Religous Connection

Epic intros to epic albums :)

Edit: The outro of "No Stars Over Bethlehem" by Protest the Hero is insane.

[Nostalgia]

Slayer - South Of Heaven

Opeth - Closure

Though it's an opening acoustic track, it still sounds great though.

[Bazarov]

I'd say Slayer's Hell Awaits....... nice epic intro. I guess?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Certainly.

[Silenius]

Summoning intros.



'nuff said

[Nepenthe]

Summoning intros AND outros. Just listen to Distant Flame Before The Sun and Oath Bound. Those guys know how to go out with a bang.

'Nuff said.

There's actually hundreds of bands/songs I could name, but I don't really feel like it :lol:

[Silenius]

A Distant Flame before the Sun and Rhun have the same melodies (Rhuns melody is the Distant Flame outro), I think have already mentioned this though. :)

[Nepenthe]

Yeah, I think you have :lol:

The time is a bit different on the two though I believe. Either way, it's an epic as hell melody.

[Silenius]

Yeah, and when mixed with the samples of "Now behold the awful price of treason" and "through dreams I influence mankind" and you have a eargasm.

[Nepenthe]

Oh God those samples. Those samples! Equally as epic as the samples used on Mirdautas Vras.

[A_Guy]

A couple of Kyuss songs have great intros-
Gardenia
Thumb
Demon Cleaner

The outro for Demon Cleaner is amazing too.

[guitrguy]

[Arucard]

This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between posts. Please try again in 6 seconds.

[Shattered_Future]

I still think Novae is the best on that album, just because of its crazyness.

[superflyjojo]

Dream Theater - A Change Of Seasons
Both the intro and outro are awesomely epic (probably because they're the same thing).

Dream Evil - Made Of Metal
Incredibly cheesy but the intro is undeniably epic.

Symphony X - The Odyssey
Also pretty cheesy but the intro definitely has that epic "at sea" kind of feel

Symphony X - The Divine Wings Of Tragedy
The choirs in the intro just set this really epic mood.

Iced Earth - Angel's Holocaust
Same as TDWOT only with backing percussion and guitars.

Iced Earth - Travel In Stygian
The piano outro to this song really closes the song and the NOTSR album with a very powerful feel.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

A good outro is Demons & Wizards - Heaven Denies

[Bron-Yr-Aur]

Regarding comments made a few pages ago, I would concur with those who feel "Stairway to Heaven" is epic. Then again, I really like Zeppelin. Anywho, I feel (probably due more to the intro and length) that At The Gates' "Primal Breath" qualifies here.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Stairway is an epic song indeed.

[eighty d]

Intro:
Kamelot - March Of Mephisto
Dimmu Borgir - Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse
Symphony X - The Divine Wings Of Tragedy

[Cocaine]

Aren't Savage Garden a really unbelievably lame pop duo, the ones who wrote

I wanna stand with you on a mountain,
I wanna bathe with you in the sea.
I wanna lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down over me.

Or am I thinking of someone else?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That's Savage Garden alright.

[Cocaine]

Man those guys pissed me off. They were huge here for a while and even though I was young, it really made me a much more hateful person. That song was clearly about them both, together....


....homosexually

[thickasabrick]

One was a girl dip****. She just looked like a guy cuz her hair was short on the album cover.

(assuming we are talking about the same "band")

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Man those guys pissed me off. They were huge here for a while and even though I was young, it really made me a much more hateful person. That song was clearly about them both, together....


....homosexually
yeah they were huge here too. especially since they were from australia :(

[Cocaine]

One was a girl dip****. She just looked like a guy cuz her hair was short on the album cover.

(assuming we are talking about the same "band")
The band was comprised of Darren Hayes (vocals) and Daniel Jones (keyboards, sequencing, and guitar)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savage_Garden

Don't call me a dipshit.

In relation to the topic, I'd say mostly anything by Agalloch. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing though.

[anonym]

hehe.. its the same savage garden..
i know they're really lame.. 'moon and back' was the only song i could stand.. and the outro's not really epic, just sorta pretty..

edit: i just wanted to see how many people would get pissed off.. :)

and back to topic, one more smashing intro:

orphaned land: oceanland..

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

outro

mahavishnu orchestra - one word

[Det_Nosnip]

Man those guys pissed me off. They were huge here for a while and even though I was young, it really made me a much more hateful person. That song was clearly about them both, together....

....homosexually

location: narnia

[Paranoidd]

[Nostalgia]

I didn't know Savage Garden got big in Narnia. Damn, news to me. :p

[anonym]

[anonym]

I'd say Televators by The Mars Volta. The beginning fades in for a while with animals and stuff and the whole song is just really touching. Also The first part of Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore(also by TMV) is pretty epic and touching as well.

[Daven]

Intro:
Death - Flattening Of Emotions

Its ****ing great

[wikuk]

Hmm.. there are lots of epic intro's and outro's I can name, so I'll just name my top 5's.

intro:

1. Battle-axe - Deftones
2. Schism - Tool (the first 2 bassline's before it goes over into the couplet)
3. The Patient - Tool
4. Seasons Wither - Machine Head
5. Apathy Is A Cold Body - Poison The Well

outro:

1. Strength Of The World - Avenged Sevenfold
2. Stormblast - Dimmu Borgir
3. Apathy Is A Cold Body - Poison The Well
4. Reflection - Tool
5. Push*t - Tool

[The_Oath]

I'm a bit of a sucker for Sunn O)), but I like the outro for, "It Took The Night To Believe" It's the same riff pretty much, just louder.

The intro for "Bathory Erzsebet" is good too.

[Father]

ACDC - Hells Bells
Gammay Ray - Valley of the kings
Blacks sabath - Devil and daughter

[Josh]

Intro: Savatage - Hall of the Mountain King. i just love it, so epic.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

ACDC - Hells Bells
Ah yeah that's a damn good one. So is Overdose.

[i am the robots]

The Black Dahlia Murder - Unhallowed/Funeral Thirst
Through The Eyes Of The Dead - Autumn Tint Of Gold
Underoath - The Last
Children Of Bodom - Bed Of Razors
In Flames - Stand Ablaze
Opeth - The Moor

[thatscooliguess]

Rush - 2112 (I love the very beginning with the huge synth swish thing)
Angels and Airwaves - The Adventure
2112 is pritty badass.... nice sort of mystic synth intro.....

angels and airwaves.... i really dislike them.... tom delonge has got too whiny about things

[Daven]

Intro

Necrophagist - Dimished To Be

[Txus]

Intro

Necrophagist - Dimished To Be
The intro of Only Ash Remains is godly also.

[UpperDecker]

The Black Dahlia Murder - Unhallowed/Funeral Thirst
Through The Eyes Of The Dead - Autumn Tint Of Gold
Underoath - The Last
Children Of Bodom - Bed Of Razors
In Flames - Stand Ablaze
Opeth - The Moor

I have no idea how The Moor slipped my mind. Yea, that definitely takes the win for me.

[Toaster]

The intro of Only Ash Remains is godly also.

Truth!

Decapitated's Visual Delusion has an awesome intro riff. So huge sounding.

Opeth- The Drapery Falls (I'm sure this has been said)

[Txus]

I think The Drapery Falls drags too much..maybe my least favorite opeth song.

[Daven]

The intro of Only Ash Remains is godly also.

It really is!

[Toaster]

I think The Drapery Falls drags too much..maybe my least favorite opeth song.

It's not one of their best songs, but that intro! I think it's Opeth's best intro, besides maybe The Moor.

[Txus]

When comes to mind....

[Toaster]

Decent intro, not even close to TDF though. I simultaneously ejaculated and **** my pants when I heard that intro for the first time.

[Txus]

Like I said before, not my favorite. When in another hand as a whole is an amazing song, it's one of my 5 favorite Opeth songs.

OMFG! How could I forget Crown Of Throns by Vanden Plas....that song is so epic.

[Det_Nosnip]

Heh...I really like the Drapery Falls, but actually not for the intro. Don't we make an odd trio? :p

[Flynn]

I cannot forget Demon Of The Fall by Opeth. That is one of the most epic outros I've ever heard.

[Defender0FmetaL]

Intros =====> Ensiferum - Lai Lai Hei

[Daven]

Intro
Judas Priest - Painkiller

[Cocaine]

Outro

Pink Cigarette - Mr Bungle

[Rrrrrrr]

...no one mentioned The Hellion? :(

[wikuk]

Bleak is also very epic when the singing goes in... and indeed, that unexpected song is one of the most epic songs I've ever heard.

[Patrick]

under the bridge rhcp

[Flynn]

I can't forget the outro to Credence by Opeth. I can listen to that forever...




under the bridge rhcp



Humboldt huh? I'm from Fort Dodge. :chug:

[Crysiss]

I can't forget the outro to Credence by Opeth. I can listen to that forever...


I came in the thread thinking of that Outro, I listened to that outro repeatly the first time I heard it, I was in awe of the beauty of it

[Flynn]

I came in the thread thinking of that Outro, I listened to that outro repeatly the first time I heard it, I was in awe of the beauty of it


Likewise. I feel a MAYH spell coming on now...



N.P. Prologue ~ Opeth

[silicon71]

Dream Theater - Octavarium

[Det_Nosnip]

I cannot forget Demon Of The Fall by Opeth. That is one of the most epic outros I've ever heard.

Oh, ****...good call. That's also one of the most emotional sections that Opeth has done. :cool:

[Shattered_Future]

If we're on the topic of Opeth, the outro to Godhead's Lament is pretty damn epic. From the singing part onwards, it KILLS.

[Werny]

What about... Alone by Arcturus for intro.

Best intro ever; For To End Yet Again by Arcturus.

[Txus]

I like Nightmare Haven's intro A LOT.

[Cocaine]

Arcturus really have awesome intros/outros. *Star Crossed, anyone?

[Txus]

Oh dude that's an awesome intro but....Star-Crossed >> Collapse Generation.

[Cocaine]

Wait.

I got them mixed up, haha. I have my playlist on shuffle, I looked at the wrong track! Sverd is awesome.

[Txus]

Oh :p

It's an awesome intro indeed, I love how the guy plays the piano...I REALLY WANT THAT ARCTURUS DVD FRO CHRIST SAKES!!

[Cocaine]

Me too, man. Wikipedia, their site and several fansites all say it was out May 22nd, but Amazon says June 12th. I want it!

[Txus]

In 9 days?! :eek: I will buy that for sure!

Do you know the playlist?

[Cocaine]

I read it somewhere. I remember Kinetic wasnt on it, and that pisses me off.

[Txus]

If you can find the link I would be your sex slave forever :p

[Cocaine]

For sure. I was thinking of making a "Avant-Garde Superstar" thread, which would basically focus on Ulver, Arcturus, and all things Avant Garde. I'll have to do it when I get on my regular computer.

[Txus]

Nice, I will be a regular in that thread for sure man :)

[blueyxd]

Derek & The Dominos - Layla
the ending is pretty big and good

[Shattered_Future]

I read it somewhere. I remember Kinetic wasnt on it, and that pisses me off.

WHAT!?!?! :mad: :mad: :mad:

/throws objects at wall.

[Txus]

Holy crap, Nightmare Heaven alone is worth the DVD price :D

I'm happy with the set list, it's a really good one. Evacuation Code Deciphered is missing though :upset:

[Shattered_Future]

What the hell? No Star Crossed, Kinetic, For To End Yet Again, OR Hibernation Sickness Complete?

Man, this DVD blows already. :p

[Trivium616]

Anything by Bal-Sagoth is pretty epic I think.

No Wintry Grey??? But Painting MY Horror is on it... that song is really boring.

[-=Led_Hed=-]

Like the intros to Master of Puppets (S&M of course), Hot for Teacher and the outro to Over he Hills and Far Away...

[British Beef]

kreator - the ancient plaugue
yngwie malmsteen - rising force
machine head - imperium
machine head - left unfinished
fear factory - ressurection
crowbar - decembers spawn
metallica - one
pantera - cemetery gates
avenged sevenfold - strength of the world
symphony x - sea of lies
slipknot - slipknot
shadows fall - the light that blinds
sentenced - ever frost
primus - anti pop
rush - YYZ
opeth - hours of wealth
my dying bride - for my fallen angel

[scpttrerulz]

1) Tool -- the grudge.....
The drum solo of sorts at the end with the full on power chords off the guitar and bass gives me goose bumps sometimes..... I think it is one of the best outros in terms of impact
2) Iron Maiden -- Hallowed be thy name
The song was perfect..... the outro one of the best ever with Bruce reaching the high notes like only he can...

[Werny]

The Arcturus DVD will own, it's got Daemonpainter on it! And La Masquerade Infernale, hopefully without the destructive beat! ooooh.

Actually I don't know what the best intro is now...'cause I just listened to Svelen Gaaer Bag Aase Need by Ulver...beautiful.

[Txus]

Arsis - Face of my Innocence

[repcak]

the intro to Suidakra - Revenant

[The Door Mouse]
