I need a BIG FAVOUR!

[jverne]

i'm looking for a specific music style.

is there any soft, melodic metal or rock out there. not in a sense like Gothic or power metal, but more calm, melodic ballads or fantasies. you can cal me emo if makes your internet penis bigger. but i'm not looking for crap stuff like HIM or alike.

few examples:

Zack wylde (in this river) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdN7518Br4Y&mode=related&search=
but his other songs are total crap.

Scorpions- send me an angel or wind of change


i tried night wish but that is a bit to guitar grinding and not to much melodic quality.

so, know any songs or bands who have this type of music?

thank you

The only way I can point you in the direction of with the terms soft, melodic, metal/guitar stuff would be alot of post-metal, most notably:

Red Sparowes - At the Soundless Dawn
Isis - In The Absence of Truth
Pelican - The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw

Very nice, calm, melodic and downright beautiful music. Nothing like Zakk Wylde, but like I said, that's all very guitar based, soft, melodic stuff, for the most part. Most instrumental, Isis use vocals and theres a bit with Pelican.

thanks for the info.

i searched for some samples. they are not bad i like more instrumental music, but it's not exactly what i pictured. maybe it's a little to trans, maybe to much drums.

No, have you heard of his Book of Shadow's album?

Isis doesn't do ballads... it's more ambient, drawn-out, proggy, highly instrumental sludge metal.

Yeah, I know, but when he said soft, melodic, guitar based and somewhat metal stuff, In The Absence of Truth sprung to mind and I think it fits that description somewhat.

And thank God for that.

yes sometimes i have weird music taste, but i'm in an emo mood right now.
