Played in last 5 years, Never opened with, non-obvious "opener" choice, crowd pleaser, not on BC&SL, under 25 min (lol), definite "monster track", plus Epica hint....
Makes me want to narrow down the list to:
-Peruvian Skies (because of monster lyric? but does that make it a monster track?)
-Trial of Tears (I don't see this being a good opener)
-The Dance of Eternity
-Endless Sacrifice
-The Dark Eternal Night
-Lost Not Forgotten
-Outcry
-Breaking All Illusions
-Illumination Theory
Also, the "I am listening to it right now" hint was posted as post #397 in the thread... Any coincidence track 3 on 1997's FII says "monster" in the lyric, and falls under every category that was hinted??
