For the final edition of The Metal Project this week - this month, even - the theme is "Epic"
Not necessarily the songs so much, but every song I post today has a title that tries to rise above the usual "Metal + (word)" cliches, that strives towards something greater than four loons playing loudly, seeks to become a force for glory and wonder and loudly proclaims allegiance to Heavy Metal!
Or the writers just overdid it on the Manowar.
For your entertainment and edification The Metal Project presents a bunch of songs that may not change your life but should make you raise your fist. Enjoy.
Guillotine - Soul Of Heavy Metal (Brazil 2007)
(I was genuinely amazed to find this song wasn't actually written in 1986)
Honour to: Gabriel Said
Skelator - In Metal We Trust (USA 2008)
(Instrumental but it's a good one and the title fits so...)
Honour to: TheArcaneDominion1
I don't post many songs with a drum solo so that really was a novelty.
I really liked that one.

Hellhound - Let Metal Rule The World (Japan 2011)
(The perfect tempo to nod your head to. This is scientific fact.)
(I love this sort of thing.
A band from Jordan playing fist in the air Power Metal?
Truly this is the Power Of Metal.
I'm not entirely being tongue in cheek either.
Metal is worldwide in a way that most other music can't match.)

Maxxwell Carlisle feat. Nita Strauss - The Power Of Metal Compels Me
(USA 2013)
(Shredtastic)
Honour to: Maxxxwellc
Savage Blade - The Way Of Metal (Canada 2014)
(Trad. Chugg-Chugg that pays tribute to the legends )
(More trad. verging on USPM )
Honour to: Julius Lucius
And finally, it seems fitting to end things with the official anthem of the Wacken Festival - The most metal place on the planet!
Shawn Davidson - There Will Be Metal (USA 2014)
Honour to: Malcolm Draussen
That's all folks.
Oooh, I like Savage Blade, nice riffage.
