Favorite acoustic songs by metal bands

^ Agreed. Depressing yet breathtaking.


A few I've always liked.
Agalloch - Odal
Death - Voice of the Soul
Opeth - Epilogue
Arch Enemy - Hybrids of Steel (homage to Vai and Satch and the likes)
DOWN - Pray For The Locust (short and sweet)
 
Desolate Ways by Morbid Angel
Still Day Beneath The Sun and Benighted by Opeth
A Past And Future Secret by Blind Guardian
Ring Of Gold by Bathory
 
Green Carnation - The Burden is Mine... Alone. brilliant
Amazing song. The whole fuckin' album is brilliant, especially the 15 minute opus 9-3 you know, the song that contains numbers. It is escaping me right now. And my all-time favorite- the entire "Kveldssanger" by Ulver and "Benighted" from Opeth. "Dark Song" by Primordial is also excellent.
 
Hmm... I didn't really enjoy the whole album. Maybe I need to give it another try. But that song made me cry for like 25 times, I'm not kidding.
 
Judas Priest - worth fighting for

also I like what they do with their version of diamonds and rust
 
I think the thread was intended for entirely-acoustic songs. "Min Hyllest Til Vinterland" would be your candidate.

That was the first song that came to mind when I saw the title of this thread.

Also,

Agalloch - A Celebration for the Death of Man
Nokturnal Mortum - Oriana - Waterfall of Twilight
Dissection - Crimson Towers
Dissection - Into Infinite Obscurity
Dissection - Feathers Fell
