what genre is this? Epic Orchestral?

There's not really anything orchestral about it except that it uses instruments commonly found in a classical orchestra, but could also be found elsewhere. While it's easy to throw around terms such as "orchestral" or "symphonic" to describe the unique instrumentation, it really doesn't suggest what I had in mind when I think of orchestral music on an epic scope. It doesn't sound like rock music either, except that again it uses some rock instruments. To me it just sounds like electronica.

cinematic orchestra or electronic orchestra (this particular video is more electronic)

similar artists would include Craig Armstrong, Rob Dougan, Harry Gregson Williams, and the aforementioned ES Posthumus.

Very nice choices Furious. I concur with all of those. Also, Trevor Rabin (any action film composer really), and anything labeled "Movie Trailer Music". You'd be surprised that there are quite a few albums of nothing but original trailer music that sound a hell of a lot like this stuff.

Yep, absolutely. Completely forgot about Trevor Rabin, he was actually the artist that first got me into this type of cinematic compositions.

I've just remember Immediate Music they would be the most similar to this particular style. http://www.myspace.com/globusmusic (listen to the song titled 'Spiritus Kyhayyam' - http://www.immediatemusic.com/
