Metal ballads. No, it's not an oxymoron, though most times it becomes a 'power ballad', but you can do a power ballad in any genre. But I digress.
I'm doing a post on metal ballads today because I think that they are the most beautiful kinds of songs -- the sweet, typically sad nature of the ballad combined with the technicality and power of metal.
Cue the parade of ballads!
Epica - "Tides of Time"
Epica - "Chasing the Dragon (Edit)" [I chose to post the version without growls to up the appeal]
Symphony X - "Paradise Lost"
Nightwish - "Nemo" [You can blame this song, not necessarily the video, for getting me into this genre]
Lacuna Coil - "Within Me"
Within Temptation - "Memories"
Within Temptation - "Somewhere"
Within Temptation - "Forgiven"
Delain - "See Me In Shadow"
Sonata Arctica - "Last Drop Falls"
Kamelot - "Don't You Cry"
