a much more light hearted track, but epic none-the-less, especially coming from a band like Queen. this song helps cheer me up quite often, with it's cheery piano and Freddy Mercury's uplifting lyrics. this gives me images of New York City, late nights with friends and just living a good life. with Queen, you can't go wrong!

Track 4 from Tales from the Twilight World (demo)
Length: 00:02:44
Year: 1990
Track Description:
this track is just epic. just look at the name, it's fucking LORD OF THE RINGS. i chose the demo version for various reasons, the main one being it's just more epic sounding than the album version. the vocals are extremely epic sounding, as he weaves a tale of magic, battles and the ring. the guitar playing is phenomenal, using a chorus effect and using arpeggio picking the entire time. epic is not good enough for a track like this.

Track 2 from The Dawn of Flames
Length: 00:07:06
Year: 0000
Track Description:
one of the most underrated melodic death metal acts in existence, this song is epic beyond belief. the growled vocals and melodic/epic guitars lead up to a piano interlude, my favorite part of the song. this song is very sad sounding, making me think of fantasy, romance and romantic. a prince losing his princess or a king losing his queen. a unique experience.

the last track on the mix, and possibly the most epic. this song, is in my mind, the best Judas Priest song ever written. painting a picture of a war machine, a destructive beast, come to wreck the planet. coupled with the excellent drumming, amazing guitar playing and epic vocals, this song will leave you breathless.
