well i say from sonata arctica broken and from stratovarius coming home and from him beautiful and join me

No prayer for the diyng by Iron Maiden...right now is one of the most powerful, sometimes a ballad must be for ourselves...

Any ballad by Evergrey is pretty cool they're the ones I like best they always have cool lyrics and are slow and then somewhere in there there's going to be a sick solo.

"I Died For You" and "Watching Over Me" by Iced Earth might be depressive, but not the most depressive for me. Among the ones I remember I choose "Sing In Silence" by Sonata Arctica

Not sure if it counts as a ballad but Draconian's 'Akherousia' is depressing in sound. Melacholy instruments and all. The lyrics aren't really depressing much but the music is soul destroying.

Someone Mentioned No Prayer for the Dying which happens to be my favorite Maiden song!! Tallulah is really beautiful! Pain of Salvation does some very nice ones! as does Savatage! X Japan's The Last song has to be the most depressing song for me because everytime I listen I remember that it was the last song ever by that great band!

Oh yes forgot about "Coming Home" very depressive indeed,"Forever" by Stratovarius can also be depressive....

What are you think bout
Rainbow - ''Temple Of The King'' great song and great ballad, ebst ballad and one of best Rainbow song ewer and one of best lyric what Dio has written
Rainbow - ''Rainbow Eyes'' So quaet peacefull and amazing song

Am I the only one who can't see depression in heavy/power metal?

Iced Earth -Watching over me, Melancholy (Holy Martyr)
Helloween-If i knew

Helloween- Forever and One
Iron Maiden- Wasting Love
Stratovarius- 4000 Rainy Nights & Venus In The Morning
Sirenia- In Summerian Haze
Theatre Of Tragedy- ...A Distance There Is...

Stratovarius- 4000 Rainy Nights & Venus In The Morning

Yeah, i forgot about "4000 rainy nights", it is really depressive

I want to say that No prayer for the dying is NOT a ballad. What are you talking about??? Also, some of the most depressive songs are:
Anathema - regret, lost control, one last godbye, flying and much more...
Opeth - all damnation alboum
Iced Earth - Melancholy, wathching over me
Especially Anathema is the most depressive band itself.

Iced Earth- I Died For You
Sonata Arctica- The End of This Chapter, The Misery
Stratovarius- Coming Home, Before the Winter

Cant really think of anything put power metal..."Solitude" is pretty depressing, but I haven't heard enough Doom to talk.

Dimmu Borgir - Sorgens Kammer (Even though its insturmential, it makes me feel a little bit sad )

(Though its not any extreme metal or black, just Nu Metal or something like that)

Linkin Park - Easier To Run
Linkin Park - Breaking The Habit (Both makes me almost cry sometimes )

Maybe I can add In Flames - Come Clarity or Reflect The storm

Anyway, they make me feel sad. Good songs BTW

Man, Nobody is Bringing up "Into Eternity", am I dreaming or am I the only one on this site that listens to them?
All of their songs are Depressing,Seriously, it's what the band is fueled by, that and progressive Death instrumentation, but that's off subject.

Like I said earlier, all of their songs are depressing, and though not all of them Are Ballads, Thier most Depressing Ballad, and most depressing song period for that matter, is burried in oblivion, check it out.

man this is not even Metal, this is hip hop lovk how those guys dressing, turn on MTV and go to Norvay undeerground

In Flames Ballad an youre not shore because of Maybe

breaking the habit is not nearly depressive.oh well,one man's trash is another man's treasure

anyway, that is not an order to listen to them when you're sad, its just a suggestion.

Anyway, Linkin Park is actually under Nu Metal. Some thinks so, but as you said "One man's trash is another man's treasure"

Though there are few hwo likes LP, I do.

I dont know this been ballad but very depressive indeed . Metallica: Fade To Black

Don't you ever listen to Anathema. If you try to, I believe you will go to get killed, if you find so depressive the song Fade to black.

I don't feel like getting into the "are they hard rock or metal" debate right now. But since Led Zeppelin is considered metal by some, I feel safe posting these songs.

Cinderella - Don't Know What You've Got (Till It's Gone)
Scorpions - Still Loving You
Guns N' Roses - November Rain

'The River' and 'No One There' both by Sentenced always make me feel sad.

I agree with Dark Snake - 'Breaking the Habit' can make you cry if you listen to the words.

Another song that makes me cry (not metal) is on the latest Pearl Jam album - 'Come Back'

Hanna - those Sentenced songs are great too and thay makes me sad

THAT who talking about Theroin ''Sea Winds'' Accept cover I hear it song here http://www.nuclearblast.de/band_showa.php?action=audio&artist=54 its strange, female voice sounds wierd

I know I already posted, but I missed one song: Tallulah from Sonata Arctica. That song really gets to me, probaly because it's very similar to a past experience I love that song

Fade To Black (cover) - Sonata Artica

Sorry, maybe i don't understand you but i can't find anything depressive in this song.

Dark Tranquillity - Exposure
Dark Tranquillity - Nether Novas

I ALWAYS listen to those two when I'm depressed.

A sea to Suffer in - My Dying Bride (As much as i love this song... It is so depressing)

Pale - Within Temptation (This song has a duel effect on me, If im happy it makes me so depressed, But if im down, it calms me down, and i can then think straight)
