Even still, 5 minutes isn't a very long song.

There's a local prog band here that have a 23 minute prog metal song. It's awesome. Unfortunately it's still unreleased, so I can't share it with you guys. :(

EDIT: Green Carnation - Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness (1:00:06)

ABB - Mountain Jam 33:41
My actual longest song is VU's - Sister Ray at 38:00 but thats a bootleg.
Kyuss have "Spaceship Landing" but if I remember correctly there is a gap of silence that is like 15 mins long.

5 minutes is definetely not long, but whatever... here we go:
Rhapsody - The Odyessy (24:07)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Static (23:19)
(Pretty much anything else by GY!BE)
Sunn 0))) - Hallow Cave (21:58)
(Again, most of these dudes' songs exceed the 5 minute limit)
Agalloch - In the Shadow of our Pale Companion (14:45)
Blind Guardian - And Then There Was Silence (14:07)
Dream Theatre - The Glass Prison (13:52)
(Also most of DT's songs are over 5)
Helloween - Halloween (13:18)

...Thats good enough.
And Japan X - Art of Life
Forsure, an awesome song.

Yeah 5 minutes ceased to be long for me a long time ago.

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond is one i can name i think noone else has.

EDIT- Also how the hell could i forgot Fantomas' [i]Delirium Cordia[/i]?

74 long minute song that takes up the whole disc it comes on. Granted the last 15 minutes or so is a track skipping, call it avant garde artistic innovation if you will but its disappointing to many including myself. Still a long piece of work.

Five minutes is longer then the average song. Not amazingly long but longer then most.

Fugging progressive music and it's effects on my standards. :(

On a related note, Dream Theater - A change of seasons (23 or so)

Alpha Down - Megalith ... 30:00

Andrew Lloyd Webber/London Cast - Highlights From Phantom Of The Opera (59:18)

Of the real songs:

Ephel Duath - The Passage (46:31)
Porcupine Tree - Moonloop (40:07)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Providence (29:02)

Those are my 3 longest ones.

I need bands in the vein of early Alice in Chains, early The Melvins and early Soundgarden.

ehm.. you have the entire album as one file there.

[quote=Stoic]Alice in Chains, early The Melvins and early Soundgarden[/quote]
try Karma To Burn and Down

try Karma To Burn and Down[/QUOTE]

hmm, it's the first time I've heard of Karma to Burn and as for Down, does Anselmo sing the way he sings for Pantera? If so I wouldnt enjoy the vocals that much.

Symphony X actually did The Odyssey, not Rhapsody.

My longest song is El Mundo by Corrupted, at almost 74 minutes. But that's more in the vein of GY!BE styled music, where it's just synths. Longest actual "metal" song is Dopesmoker by Sleep, at 63 minutes.

The longest song I have is 25:18.

The longest song i have is 1:13:55.

[QUOTE=Daven]The longest song i have is 1:13:55.[/QUOTE]

Ouch. Which song is that?

Corrupted - VIII - El Mundo

Dudes, he asked for bands with most songs over 5 mins...not for a contest on who knows the longest songs.

[QUOTE=blueyxd]ehm.. you have the entire album as one file there.
[/QUOTE]

So I see. Never noticed it before.

[QUOTE=Daven]Corrupted - VIII - El Mundo[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Me]My longest song is El Mundo by Corrupted, at almost 74 minutes.[/QUOTE]

Deja vu...

Blind Guardian has tons of songs over 5 minutes. All of the songs on ANATO, save the bonus track, are over 5.

Ok, I'm looking for a band that uses a lot of orchestration in their songs. I don't want a heavy metal band (at least not a speed metal band or a band with growling vocals), but more of a hard rock outfit. Kinda thinking along the lines of songs like Rainbow's "Stargazer" or Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir".

Suggestions?

Deep Purple maybe

I haven't listened to much of their stuff but I hear they were the origin of that kind of music.

Holy Diver is an awesome song btw :)

man thats hard mmmmm....... almost all of my orchestra bands are power metal

can anyone recommend some good marillion?

I recently dowmloaded some Katatonia and really liked it. Can anyone reccomend me some other songs or albums by them?

It'd probably help if you said the songs that you have already.

[QUOTE=The Cynic]I recently dowmloaded some Katatonia and really liked it. Can anyone reccomend me some other songs or albums by them?[/QUOTE]
I have no clue what you've heard but these are some of their best albums:
Brave Murder Day
Viva Emptiness
Tonight's Decision

You can't go wrong with Katatonia though.

My bad. I downloaded July, I am nothing, Saw you Drown, Help Me Disappear and Omerta.

Anyone care to recommend some immolation and some vader?

I only really know early Immolation ([i]Dawn of Possession[/i]/[i]Here In After[/i]) so far, so I'll recommend [i]Dawn of Possession[/i]. I think "Those Left Behind" was the first song of theirs I heard.

Can someone recommend me an album by Municipal Waste? Ive heard very good things about them.

[I]Hazardous Mutation[/I]

[QUOTE=joe_fresh]Anyone care to recommend some immolation and some [B]vader[/B]?[/QUOTE]
Litany full on slays.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids][I]Hazardous Mutation[/I][/QUOTE]

Thanks, i'll look for it.

It's been in the Daily Upload a number of times, Daven. You might want to search your email. If you're lucky a link could still be active.

[QUOTE]Litany full on slays.[/QUOTE]
So that's their best? I've only heard [I]The Art Of War[/I], and was actually wondering which album is best.

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]It's been in the Daily Upload a number of times, Daven. You might want to search your email :)
[/QUOTE]

That'sa good idea. :thumb: I dont remember seeing any of them in TDU though.


Edit: Just found two albums, thanks.

Yeah the link for [I]Waste 'Em All[/I] is still active. It's alot rawer than [I]Hazardous Mutation[/I], though.

I like it the most. I haven't heard everything though.

I asked this before kind of, but I couldn't find the posts. I need stuff that sounds similiar to Electric Wizard/Black Sabbath/other similiar sludge or stoner metal.
