In no particular order and limiting to 1 song per artist I'll try to list my favourite and most unforgettable extreme metal (mostly black, folk and avant-garde) epics! All fans of the genre should check out those that they haven't heard. These tracks tend to feature complex structure and unusual elements making them stand out of the mass.

Windir - Journey to the End

Arcturus - Nightmare Heaven

Unexpect - Desert Urbania

Borknagar - Colossus

Skyforger - The Shortest Night of the Year

Agalloch - Not Unlike the Waves

Solefald - Crater of the Valkyries

Devin Townsend - Earth Day

Summoning - Land of the Dead

Pelican - March to the Sea

Isis - Weight

Nokturnal Mortum - Hailed be the Heroes

Thurisaz - Circadian Rhythm

Moonsorrow - Jumalten Kaupunki incl. Tuhatvuotinen Perintö

Bathory - Blood Fire Death

Mayhem - Freezing Moon

Turisas - Battle Metal

My Dying Bride - The Cry of Mankind

I've probably forgotten a ton, so all worthy suggestions for additions to the list are welcome!
