Im really surprised that Nightwish isn't in the top. Ghost Love Score alone has more epicness then the entire career of most musicians.

True epic metal, must tell a story of epic proportions, with a beginning middle and end. This can be in one single song or an entire album of songs, that tells a story of heroism, plight, perseverance and lore.

Define "epic" as it relates to a lyrical story or song: An epic (from the Ancient Greek adjective ἐπικός (epikos), from ἔπος (epos) "word, story, poem"[1]) is a lengthy narrative poem, ordinarily concerning a serious subject containing details of heroic deeds and events significant to a culture or nation. There are definitely quite a few bands that do not belong here, lol.
