Metal Love Songs

[SentencedToBurn]

what do you guys think is the best metal love song. It has to be a love song (or a song about relationships or whatever bullshit), by a metal band . For an example Opeth- to bid you farewell, or tons of songs by My dying bride. I dont know which are my favorite, ill have to get back to you. probably somethin by my dying bride. i dunno, what do you guys think?

PS: if i sound like a pussy then fuck you!

 

[Useful Idiot]

I think Dark Tranquillity - Lethe is pretty damn good.

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

Fucking pussy, real songs revolve around fucking people, drugs, and gang violence

Anyways, I agree, something by My Dying Bride, again, I don't know which, I only have one of their CD's, but I think they have really good love songs. Although, Face of Melinda is really emotional to me, I love it all.

 

[Frost of the sanctum]

I wanna kill myself everytime I hear My Dying Bride for my fallen angel. It has to be a love song and it is sad as hell.

 

[Melancholia]

I'll mention a couple....

• Dark tranquillity-Lethe
• Opeth-To bid you farewell
• Anathema-Angelica
• My dying bride-for my fallen angel
• In the woods...-Weeping willow

 

[Hokaloogie]

No, if you sound like a pussy then fuck YOU!

And I don't know any.

 

[Ominous Luminous]

Anything off of the first HIM cd.

 

[RETIREDTrapped]

Dreadnaught - Flowers.

You people should ALL go an download this song.

The version from their demo is the best... but if you can't find it, the album version is still damn good.

BETTER than anything opeth has ever done.

STEEL - Say Goodbye To Love

 

[requiem]

One hell of an amazing love song is the track 'Starres' from Saturnus' 'For the Loveless Lonely Night's' Mini-lp.

Some My Dying Bride heart wrenchers: For You, From Darkest Skies, Sear Me 93, Sear Me III, and the epic The Light at the End of the World.

 

[Orchid]

Put on "For My Fallen Angel" and "Two Winters Only" by My Dying Bride and cry yourself to sleep. Argh, they're so heartbreaking.

But love songs? Hmm, like Ominous Luminous said: anything off of HIM's first album.

Yeah definitely. In fact anything from 'Turn Loose the Swans', 'The Angel and the Dark River', and 'Like Gods of the Sun' will usually help to open the old tearducts.

 

[Downfall]

Ozzy Osbourne's Old L.A. Tonight is pretty fantastic.
So is My Dying Bride...

 

[Spike]

While 'To Bid You Farewell' is my favourite song (Opeth or other wise) I think it's a little bit too 'lyricaly anorexic' to be considered a love song. 'Face of Melinda' on the other hand, would definetly be one of my favourite metal love songs.

 

[~Zeanra~]

Yup, many of My Dying Bride's songs...*sigh*

Blood Duster - Nothing says I Love You Like A Chainsaw Injury To The Head

Wermacht - She Broke My Heart (So I Broke Her Face)

Macc Lads - Do You Love Me?

Macc Lads - Fluffy Pup

Awesome title!!
Gotta download and listen!

 

[The Nomad]

I'll reiterate the most of MDB songs, although my favorites are

• For My Fallen Angel
• My Hope, the Destroyer (I don't even know if this is a love song, but it nearly makes me cry)
• A Sea to Suffer In

Anathema also does pretty well:

• Alone...
• Lovelorn Rhapsody
• Restless Oblivion

for other bands (only off the top of my head)

• Dan Swano - Add Reality
• Various Opeth songs I don't want to rehash
• Amorphis - Black Winter Day
• Avernus - Anastasia
• Saturnus - "I Love Thee" and "Paradise Belongs to You"
• Sculptured - "Almond Beauty" and "Her Silence"
• Sonata Arctica - Letter to Dana
• Brave - Dark Waters
• Drain S.T.H. - Stench
• The Gathering - Third Chance
• Nightwish - Sleeping Sun
• Sinergy - Written in Stone
• and the fun one: Pantera - Throes of Rejection

 

[TheMindzI]

Opeth - Face Of Melinda
Dark Tranquillity - Lethe (is it a love song really?)
GNR - Don't Cry and November Rain
