The piece is great, but the guitar samples do suck. . .
Pretty epic. I don't really dig the bass line on the C that's just a pure sequencing of the bass line on D. It just doesn't sound right for whatever reason (I'm too lazy to figure out exactly what that is at the moment). Maybe de-emphasize the E natural or something. That's just a dumb guess, actually.
You may want to cut down on the instrumentation, too. I mean, three basses? Two organs? The piece will be more streamlined if you just chop off the fat. Then you can focus more on melody and the like.
Also, I'd suggest listening to some Cacophony (namely "Speed Metal Symphony") and Symphony X ("The Odyssey") to get the creative juices flowing. Both are epic speed/power/prog metal masterpieces. I really look forward to hearing this when it's complete. I think it has potential to kick some ass.
