Epic sounding rock/metal

[DFF]

Basically, I'm looking for some 'epic' sounding rock and metal in a similar vein to 'Welcome Home' by Coheed and Cambria and 'The End Is Here' by Alter Bridge.

Any thoughts?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yeah, go back to listening to folk metal.

But nah, Hammers of Misfortune's "The Bastard" album is really epic stuff.

Oh don't worry, I still have Tyr/Korpiklaani to give me my folk metal fix.

And thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out.

"Save Me" - Edguy

The most epic/cheesy song I may have ever heard.

Can't go wrong with Taproot's album Blue-Sky Research...dunno if it's epic exactly, but it's pretty awesome.
