Demon Hunter's best songs are their ballads. That's my best example. Every Kamelot ballad is absolutely gorgeous, but that isn't really unexpected I don't think. Khan just makes things beautiful.
I don't know how heavy many would consider them, but Closure In Moscow's "I'm A Ghost of Twilight" is most of my friends favorite song of theirs.

I was pleasantly surprised by Mastodon's early stuff, namely the Remission CD. More like a modern prog rock than the generic shouty bullshit that was "Blood and Thunder"
Agreed, Cemetery Gates was also a good songKindOfnElf said:

Also, thanks to you, I remembered "Through Glass" by Stone Sour. I looked it up, and just started singing along without realising
Well I was going to say the entire Damnation album by Opeth, they play death metal and did a whole soft acoustic album, and its fucking awesome, but since someone Ninja'd me.
So instead I will say Benighted by Opeth(its off a different album)

Angels Don't Kill by Children Of Bodom

Voice Of The Soul by Death

That will do for now

Should at least mention it was the almighty Black Sabbath who made the original.KindOfnElf said:

Also Estranged is an amazing song from Guns N Roses I discovered much later.

I'm going to throw out a few of my favourite bands, and the slow songs that they do.
First off, Black Label Society, who regularly create some of the most emotive slow songs I've ever heard from a heavy metal band, with their newest one, January, from Order of the Black being no exception to the rule.
Other good slow songs I love are:
Winter Dreams from Balls to the Wall by Accept
Bad Company from War Is the Answer by Five Finger Death Punch (well, it's slowish)
I Just Want You from Ozzmosis by Ozzy Osbourne
18 and Life from Skid Row by Skid Row
That'll do, I think.

Glad to see Five Finger Death Punch here
Anyway, here's one slow song. I used to hate this song, but now, after actually listening to the song, I love it.

Here's one from DragonForce, "Trail of Broken Hearts". Slows down a lot, but it is still their style of music. Compare it to Operation Ground and Pound or Through the Fire and Flames.

'Through Glass' is an immense song. I went to see Stone Sour recently and them singing this was one of the best things I have ever seen.Mr Pantomime said:
