Epic Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music.
It lies between power metal, speed metal, melodic metal and classical heavy metal with a balance between slow and solemn hymns and the occasional outburst into powerful mid-tempos, epic metal includes some themes found in epic poetry and fantasy themes; they're not the only themes, however, and lighter elements like bikes, women, and a healthy amount of self-apology are just as frequent. A typical property of epic metal is a certain grandiose element and a penchant for trumpets, violins or even a full orchestra accompaniment.
Sounds a little queer but a sub-genre none the less. Apparently bands like Manowar fall into this category.
