[laladoodieincarnate]

beautifully epic reliefs stress on any daily basis

[natraan]

great video! I like all the songs featured however the SEXIEST prog metal ballad I have ever listened to is "scarlet flower fields" by Vanden Plas check it out. definitly prog but romantic too

[PainlessSoul]

@natraan I'm glad you liked it, mate. And yes, I have that album. It's a fantastic song by Vanden Plas. :)

[groovymoustach]

novembers doom reminds me of opeth!!!

[xxxHappyDreameRxxx]

Dream Theater- fathers of progressive metal!

[Eduardovh1]

Where is Silent Lucidity of Queensrÿche?

[CreatureofMasquerade]

Opeth has quite a few others. Harvest and In My Time of Need being my fav.

[TaoMetaller97]

Fates Warning - Wish

[tobiaspahlberg]

Nice list! My favourites among these are: Kamelots "Abandoned", Darkwaters "The Play" and Evergrays "I'm Sorry", however you should also listen to the original version by Dilba.

A few other good metal ballads/songs:

Angra - No pain for the dead

Ark - Missing you

Empty tremor - I found you

Pain of salvation - Undertow

Porcupine tree - Trains

Sonata arctica - The end of this chapter

[oooledzeppelinooo]

where is paradise lost of symphony x??

[RgMetalLegend]

Thank you bro!!! =)

[icedharmony]

WHERE ARE THE BALLADS OF SAINT DEAMON & HIGHLAND GLORY

[MrFox7stringking]

X Opus 'In The Heavens' and 'Never Forgotten' are great prog ballads

[chrisleherou]

you dont like stratovarius ?

[Isuki666]

Where is candlelight fantasia . Symphony X.......

[Gretanor]

great video man!!

[fillipeano]

Needs more Seventh Wonder

[Sevrior]

Personally, I find November's Doom's "Torn," Epica's "Solitary Ground," and Opeth's "Windowpane," to be their most beautiful works. But, good choices all.

[DogStreetXero]

what opeth song was that?

[allamir]

very cool man

[Welesqwerty]

пиши на русском заебали англичане че бля выучить русский не посилу мозгам

[YorkGod1]

I love metal ballads always willing to listen to new stuff so apart from above fire more this way cheers!

[TheMihau17]

\m/ nice 

[thedraperyfallz]

I'm very very happy there was an Opeth song....!

[Norzeth]

Beautiful compilation sir. You picked almost all of my favorite bands. :D

[KiwiLovin7]

Novembers Doom is the type of music you get from a man with two different ailments that cause chronic pain and have no cure... beauty and pain...

[miiiloxl]

I think the best progressive ballad of Opeth is Hours of wealth, that song had a great music feeling

[BenMc1981]

circus maximus is the best here :)



[USGiorgi]

OPETH!!!!!

[Chev4206]

The more ' sad cunts ' we have in this world as portrayed here the less chance there is of our salvation. This shit music only serves to enslave and debauch the people unable to think and act for themselves. The Bible is Your only way forward and Jesus the saviour. Believe in him and his mum Mary Magda@@@e, and all who follow him. Don't accept Saturn/Satan, but accept Satan/Saturn.Look for the signs. Illuminati. Nworder. Bastards, Cunts, G.bUSh,b.OBama etc and the restof those twats.

[gmflashmx]

@Chev4206 that made no sense

[Chev4206]

@gmflashmx You may be able to speak English but I don't think you understand it. Use your brain cell and read it again. The less distraction there is to avert us away from the truth the better we shall be. Sites like these are for bored and lonely people aimlessly drifting through their unproductive lives. If you wish to learn what is really happening I suggest Zeitgeist. Go on, you will not regret it I promise you.

[gmflashmx]

@Chev4206 Are you stupid? Im not here to learn what's really happening, im here to listen to music. -.-

[xxxHappyDreameRxxx]

Dream Theater had to be included. Great job!

[luckyluke193]

Shadow Gallery - Hope For Us

Pain Of Salvation - Second Love

Porcupine Tree - Shesmovedon

Dream Theater - Ministry of Lost Souls

Opeth - Burden

Bigelf - Disappear

Andromeda - Two is One

Dream Theater - Solitary Shell (I <3 the Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence suite/song)

Pain Of Salvation - Sisters (Road Salt One is a great album! It's not metal, but really good bluesy prog rock.)

In no particular order, and not a complete list, those are just some names that came to my mind.

[Pequenno54]

@luckyluke193 from andromeda, two is one is amazing, but a song more calm or soft at the end, is castaway :D

from dream theater , opeth and pain of salvation, what a reason dude.

[Blackened1994]

@luckyluke193 all of that PLUS disappear and space dye vest both by Dream Theater

[luckyluke193]

@Blackened1994 You're right, how could I forget those! When I started discovering Dream Theater, Space Dye Vest was my favourite song by them for some time. Also there are a lot of brilliant ballads by Pain of Salvation, Gildenlow is an amazing songwriter!

Also, some part of A Pleasant Shade Of Gray by Fates Warning would deserve being mentioned.

There are way too many beautiful songs to be mentioned in such a list, someone could make a series of such videos.

[BEforSirius]

Opeth... what a requiem man.

[luisslb89]

Oh and 15- Opeth - Burden :) I hope you like my top, but i know more Prog bands... I'm a realy fan of this culture...

[theregnar02]

[luisslb89]

My top 14: 1- Dream Theater - Another Day 2- helloween - A tale that wasn't right (power metal) 3- Marillion - Neverland 4-Pain of Salvation - Second Love 5- Dream Theater - Hollow Years (live budokan) 6- Sonata Arctica - 7- Fates Warning - Exodus 8- Green Caenation - Alone 9- Kamelot - Memento Mori 10- Circus Mximus - Silence from angels above 11- LTE - State of Grace 12- Queensrÿche - Silente Lucidity 13- Pagan's Mind - The Celestine Prophecy 14- Hangar - Call Me In The Name

[shadowgallerymusic]

Thank you for this. Best wishes from Shadow Gallery/

[PainlessSoul]

@shadowgallerymusic Your very welcome SG ! I really enjoy your music.

-PainlessSoul.

[stereonpl11]

@PainlessSoul I think I could if I practised a little, I have some notions of piano. It's a song full of emotions.

[stereonpl11]

Good songs. In my opinion Space-Dye Vest by Dream Theater is a beautiful ballad aswell.

[pupmult]

@stereonpl11 one of the best songs ever written!

[TalvellaMaa]

Wintersun has slow beautiful songs and are much better than any of these. I'm not being rude, just stating my opinion. Check them out and see for yourself.

[PainlessSoul]

@TalvellaMaa Hey there ! I'm sure you are right, in that they have lots of great beautiful ballads. But, there is nothing called "they are much better". Everyone have different opinions, and like different kind of music. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about...

[TalvellaMaa]

@PainlessSoul Yeah I understand. I didn't mean to be too harsh. When you love certain bands you just want everyone to hear it, ya know?

[PainlessSoul]

@TalvellaMaa Yes, you got that right in. We want to share the awesomeness. :-)

[fooboi671]

@PainlessSoul hey man, can you list their ballad songs coz i never hear any yet.

[fooboi671]

@TalvellaMaa why don't you share them? Let us hear it.

[KjetilLund]

Most of these bands leave's you with an eargasm! And the heavier stuff will have you screaming out loud cus it's fucking awesome! YEAH!
