Ballads

[Child of the Damned]

hell yeah... no men you are not alone with that one, awsome song

That's what I'm sayin', man; I thought I was the only CfH out here.

Pantera's sound in this song... . Not sure I've heard anything very much like it, since; remarkable "range." On one hand, you got the intro and verses that are almost Guns N' Roses-esque: slower, softer, very "natural" sound like something written for acoustic (or, come to think of it, piano; that would sound pretty damn amazing) and Phil's vocals are . Then, you get a good ole, classic, Pantera-signature ass-whoppin' for the chorus/bridge, compliments of the f***in' master-chef of ass-whoppin's himself; the late, great (raise your glasses, please, ladies and gentlemen ) DIMEBAG (R.I.P., "Rock in Paradise," brother .)

Belphegor - Angel of Retribution

Damn. Straight.

 

[Child of the Damned]

Have you ever Heard the Song THE LEGACY by Testament thats how a ballad metal song has to be...

What the...

Have I been cloned?

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

Damn. Straight.

That Belphegor song isn't a ballad in the traditional sense but for Belphegor that is about as soft as they get... so it's a ballad in the Death/Black metal genre... but here's one no one thought of before:

Testament - The Ballad

Excellent guitar work by Alex Skolnick on this one... he really is Testament imo...

 

[Fangface]

Almost every ballad by Queensrÿche, Nevermore, Fates Warning, Savatage, Virgin Steele and Dio... almost.
