Looking for some relaxing metal songs


Brutus

Recommended Posts

Well, I have recently got ahold of nightwish's mini-album "Sleeping Sun (4 Ballads of the Eclipse)", and as relaxing it is to listen to those 4 songs it gets tiresome after the 2nd or third loop, I tried finding more songs similar to it and all I could find was their "Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan".

So right now, my relaxing playlist consists of:

Nightwish - Sleeping Sun

Nightwish - Walking in the Air

Nightwish - Swanheart

Nightwish - Angels Fall First

Nightwish - Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan

That's just to give you a reference of what I'm looking for, please post the names of any other similar songs you know, thanks :).

Althought that definition seems like a contradiction, some Led Zeppelin ballad would fill that bill

i don't care which band does whatever ballad but AFAIC, it's not metal (ballads aren't metal if you can still tell they're ballads).

different people have different things to relax to..

for me, black metal is about the most relaxing and hypnotic music, stuff like mayhem - de mysteriis dom sathanas, or ulver's bergtatt album are the best relaxation albums! along with doom stuff (like esoteric).

nightwish would do anything but make me relax! ack!

I personally would recommend looking into novembers doom, opeth or if its classic metal, metallica or led zepplin for an alternative.

www.purevolume.com/metallica - i think may have it

www.myspace.com/metallica - try here or search using the find music button for fan sights.

other than that, i dont think i could help you as the death genre is not what i usually listen to.

I like a few who have posted don't think that Nightwish is at all relaxing :/ but I'll add on Cult of Luna, it's really deep and bass heavy and slow. It's been what I fall asleep to pretty much all summer long for years now :) Gotta love passing out to sludge metal :D

As for specific tracks I'd suggest The Watchtower, Genesis or Thirtyfour. That's what I can come up with off the top of my head, other than that I've allways found the song Hallways of Always by Ulver to be really relaxing :)

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
