Songs with profound Climaxes

Its no doubt that a few people who see this thread will succumb to middle-school humor, and snicker at the word "climax"..well, admittedly, so did I. But to the point, Im looking for songs of any metal genre (except for power metal and metalcore)that have a highly emotional and profound climax. I really cant get much more specific than that, just a well crafted song that has a ...well, highly emotional climax.

A great example is the song "The Titan" by in Vain. So, any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

sun of nothing by between the buried and me

and ants of the sky by between the buried and me


some power/core influences in it, but also alot of prog,tech influences, greating clean vocals at points, lots of metal/non metal genres thrown into these songs, both have a good climax to me

Alright cool, thanks. I was beginning to think that this thread was a lost cause.

It's not an 'epic' song or anything, but I really love how Hypocrisy - Nowhere to Run builds up and develops to the perfect peak.
and this one always impressed me
Hammerfall - Glory to the Brave

The Killing Hand by Dream Theater is an amazing song that has a brilliant climactic point at 7-8 minute mark followed by a bass solo.

Amazing song. I'll think a little more about this because it's kind of a hard recommendation.

The Well of Souls, At the Gallow's End Mourner's Lament, Samarithan.
I don't know, it's hard for me to choose. I've become really connected to it.

Turisas songs... Always rousing.

Try Shieldwall aswell, if you like Turisas.

IMHO Bal-Sagoth does this type of thing so much better they render Turisas unlistenable.
