A while back we asked the following on our social media platforms:

“Mount Olympus – a mythical mountain that still stimulates the fantasy of many artists nowadays. Today we would like to deal with this phenomenon in a figurative sense: Suppose you meet someone who asks you to introduce them to the greatness of Epic Metal – which THREE songs would you play to them that exemplify the greatness of the genre? In other words, which trio of songs belongs in your Epic Metal Olympus?“

Today we have a playlist for you in which we have integrated ten answers. In addition, there are two bonus tracks by great bands that you should listen to. We would like to thank our Facebook and Instagram readers for their contributions.
