Testament - The Legacy
Testament - Musical Death (A Dirge)
Marduk - Shadows From The Past
Finntroll - Svart Djup

I find it wierd to use ballad and metal in the same sentence. But if I had to choose something it would have been some hair\glam metal ballads. Something from WASP I guess.

It's equal for the thread's idea: people can mention real METAL ballads like "Fade To Black", "Sanitarium", "The Legacy" or REAL ballads composed by Metal bands. For the thread's purpose it's equal.

 

[JontRevolting]

Warlord-Winter Tears

In Flames - "Come Clarity"
Both Hypocrisy songs already mentioned.
Amorphis - "The Orphan"
Dokken - "Alone Again"

and I could go on and on...

If that's a ballad.

 

[Cythraul]

Fates Warning - Guardian

Fuck yeah!!!

 

[Vilden]

Manowar - Mountains

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

If that's a ballad.

It's a slow, melodic, and soothing song. It may not be a true ballad, but it does share those characteristics with ballads.

 

[Vilden]

Solstice - Blackthorne

 

[Chanakya]

Does Return To Serenity - Testament count?

Skolnick's guitar work is pure brilliance.

 

[theoden236]

Nevermore-Dreaming Neon Black

 

[damnromulans]

Metallica "Fade to Black"
Pantera "Hollow"
Whitesnake "Deeper The Love" (probably not quite metal?)

Not big on ballads ever but songs like those above just STINK of Americana and make me super nostalgic.

Fuckin' Land of the Miracle, man.



Also, I suppose I'll have to be the unoriginal one and post the obvious, greatest one:

Hope that worked, I suck at embedding(hence I never do) but this warrented an attempt.

If you can't see it because I suck at code the song is Portals of Light by Falconer. Definitely tops my list of ballads all time.
