...... well...... every worthy metalhead has a banging head and a metal heart...... so, let's discover here the best ballads (but not only) that make a true-metal heart bleed......  

...... for example, it's pretty obvious to start with a thrill down the spine from the masters of romance

Happy New Year!

GREAT   and, not surprisingly, of this song there is also a beautiful cover by THERION with Sarah Jezebel Deva in vocals 

Thanks a lot for the reply!

I really like that cover too. Actually, before posting, I was thinking if I should choose the cover from Therion instead, but eventually I chose the original.


Great thread by the way!

  if we want to talk about KISS...... well...... we must make silence and listen to this masterpiece of the heart-breaking

I'm not sure if the following song can be called a ballad (probably not), but the atmosphere..
