Truly a sad story, people shouldn´t throw stuff at the band on their poppiest song just because they played it at a Metal Fest, what´s wrong with doing that? Even some metal bands have softer songs, and these are many examples (check them out if you have time): Nightwish definitely has some great metal ballads. Epica as well: As does Within Temptation: This band´s slow songs are simply perfect, Sharon Den Adel´s voice suits just perfectly for this kind of songs. Evanescence for sure: The lesser known Phantasma (with the vocalist from Delain on a different register): spotify:track:5VI0KWpysBTHSHdTJkIZUb spotify:track:52MIxhuPsFt6Sba3DSJBTH And finally Delain: spotify:track:0qOTqmoYbxflmkbyHMUel7 spotify:track:36kHBW8EdFztd3CEKyBXmB spotify:track:41YDvd0M5tBAwHFm4i5XRZ spotify:track:1IPktB1W56bAdHfQCJrBzZ spotify:track:49fjhp2pQekZvUPa6paMyc
