Epic metal bands usually play power metal, heavy metal, epic doom metal or epic black metal, but symphonic, progressive and folk metal bands are not uncommon. Nevertheless, there are elements that common for epic metal releases from different sub-genres. Usual arrangements include symphonic orchestrations, choirs, use of traditional and/or classical melodies, that are used to inspire "epic feeling". Many bands that were described as "epic metal" tend to record concept albums featuring an epic storyline behind it. Alternate terms for epic metal include "fantasy metal", "battle metal" and "barbarian metal".
Heavy/power metal band Manilla Road was one of the first to describe their music as "epic metal". Other epic power metal and heavy metal examples are Rhapsody, Blind Guardian, Manowar, HammerFall and Avantasia, among others.
Battlelore, Summoning and Bal-Sagoth may be examples of extreme epic metal.
Fury of the Storm
DragonForce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fury of the darkest evil cry for war
Far beyond the boundaries of hell and starlight
On the road to lands unknown forever more
Through the caverns far below our quest will lead us
Onwards through the ice and snow forever more
Standing fighting full of hate the time has come now
Stand and sound the guns of glory cry for war
On wings of glory we will carry on
Far across the forgotten lands toward the distant sun
And in the darkness shining far beyond the starlight
Lightning is striking from the dark dawning shadows
And in the kingdom of the everlasting sun
When the glory of the master's time has come
Into the fires of forever we will fly through the heavens
With the power of the universe we stand strong together
Through the force of power, it will soon reach the hour?
For victory we ride, fury of the storm!
We are/ Here wer are the chosen ones we cannot fail now
Spilling all the blood on the fires below
Smashing through the boundaries with the fire and fury
Killing all the mortals down the winding road
Hell fires are raging the storm growing strong
On the path to victory towards the distant sun
And in the darkness shining far beyond the starlight
Lightning is striking from the dark dawning shadows
And in the kingdom of the everlasting sun
When the glory of the master's time has come
Into the fires of forever we will fly through the heavens
With the power of the universe we stand strong together
Trough the forced of power, it will soon reach the hour
For victory we ride, fury of the storm!
Into the fires of forever we will fly through the heavens
With the power of the universe we stand strong together
Into the fires of forever we will fly through the heavens
With the power of the universe we stand strong together
Trough the forced of power, it will soon reach the hour
For victory we ride, fury of the storm!
For victory we ride, fury of the storm!

I feel like nobody gives the drummer enough credit. Everybody is in awe over the guitarists and meanwhile this guy in the back is starting a magnitude 9 earthquake with two drumsticks a foot pedal
@matthewmcsherry2719
Fun fact. The drummer uploaded a video of him doing TTFAF on drums, and he was selected to be their new drummer. Look up TTFAF drum cover (epic win) by Gee Anzalone (i might have fucked up his last name)
@Dornogol
actually double bass pedals, but other than that, yes, as the real speed began and the camera was on his feet a short time, my guitarist heart stood in awe
@LuisJaramilloLJDS
If really you're right, that Gee is a barbarian in that battery
@johnmedina3671

@ralphlee781
I really like the singer and guitarists so you just don't like metal
@overwhelmingapathy721
I feel like japan would be the only place to see dragonforce live.

@savagecreature
Shadow Moon yeah it’s the music that attracts them
