Recommend some emotional metal ballads...

[MetalDan]

Does anyone know any songs that bring a tear to your eye or make you want to slit your wrists because of the depression they make you feel?

I'd appreciate it...

 

[IOfTheStorm]

emotion is not just tears.
Fates Warning (Perfect Symmetry and after)
Queensryche

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

Mmmmm i'm not really into ballads, but i'll post some (I don't guarantee that you'll cry though )

Symphony X- Candlelight Fantasia
Symphony X- Lady Of The Snow
Symphony X- A Winter's Dream
Symphony X- The Edge Of Forever (this one has some up tempo parts)
Symphony X- Awakenings (see above)


As you may see, I don't really know too much about ballads

 

[Thanatopsis123]

Only Katatonia albums "Brave Murder Day" and "Sounds of Decay" do that for me.... Most depressive stuff I know.

[plfffffft]

Am I the only one that would love to hear slayer do a ballad? I thought so.



My favorite ballads would have to be Opeth's Patterns in the Ivy II and Still Day Beneath the Sun. Fuckin beautiful songs, and I think they're both just Mike Ackerfeldt and an acoustic guitar. Check em out.
