Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home

Coheed and Cambria redefine "epic". The band's music is full of vicious guitar solos, wailing vocals, and hymnic choral chants. Pretty much perfect for getting pumped before a big game, an intense workout, or as epic backing music -- see below.

I'd say Led Zeppelin is a good comparison. A little more "post-hardcore"ish. (Yes, I agree, saying post-anything is kind of a pretentious music critic douchebaggery move.)

Last.fm suggests you might like Coheed and Cambria if you like:
3, The Dear Hunter, The Mars Volta, Circa Survive





And here's an example of using Welcome Home as backing music. The trailer for Tim Burton's upcoming 9:



Looks sick.

  2. Comparison, homes, didn't say peers. Comparison.
