Obviously Epic Tales combines the things that shaped me most in my Salad Days: Classic Heavy Metal / Rock and Swords 'N Sorcery movies. Until now only a chosen few have heard this compilation... but now, thanks to modern technology, the Umlaut Nation can be inspired by it.

Enjoy... and understand that it's not hard to be epic in your own life... all you need is a swift steed, a sharp sword, and a stout heart.. and the ability to live in a retarded state of adulthood.

To be played at maximum volume... By order of The King!!
