Slow songs that aren't necessarily ballads?

[phlogiston]

Hi all,

I'm lookng for suggestions for metal songs that are slow, but that aren't necessarily ballads. Think along the lines of Bruce's "Tears of the Dragon" and "Man of Sorrows", Maiden's "Wasting Love" and "The Journeyman", Samson's "Communion" (notice a pattern forming?) and Testament's "Return to Serenity".

So? Can you help me on my search? If so, thanks heaps! If you want to but you can't, then thanks anyway. If you can but aren't going to, screw you, arsehole.

Ever your pal,

phloggy.

The bonus track on the Painkiller reissue called "Living Bad Dreams" is unreal!

Download any of the songs I listed Icarus and if you don't like it, I will give you $10... Give or take $10.

Not real sure I'd find many Jeff Buckley albums in the Metal section at JB Hi-Fi though...

That said, Jeff Buckley is awesomeness!
