So, Gonin-Ish is pretty good avant-garde metal. kinda hard on the ears, though.

I think they're listed on the archives as "extreme progressive metal" or something like that, but I'd say they're avant-garde.

Here's some off the top of my head:

The Receiving End of it All, by Streetlight Manifesto

Anna is a Stool Pigeon, by Tom Gabel. This one is especially emotional, since it's a true story.

Oh, Susquehanna!, by Defiance, Ohio.

Rejoice, by Andrew Jackson Jihad. All of their songs are really emotional to me for some reason; I guess the lyrics just resonate with me.

as far as metal songs go, I've never been able to associate with the emotions found in most metal (aggression, anger, hatred, misanthropy, etc.) so I just listen to metal for the music. Power metal usually has lyrics that are too fruity to really associate with; I'm not a Satanist so i can't associate with anti-Christianity; there's really not much emotional credibility to gorey lyrics; I'm not a Viking, and I'm only a little bit Irish, so folk metal songs of national pride are also out; I don't smoke so i can't really associate with stoner metal.

Wow that was some pretty emoitional shit right their (above me)

End of passion play/crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear/sucking dark is clear
Leading on your deaths construction

Taste me you will see
More is all you need
Dedicated to
How I'm killing you!

FUCK YES!

They're from my town. They're pretty good.

I've spent much of the past week listening to German black metal.

Also, I'm still waiting to hear on the Paganfest 2 tour dates. If the closest NY show is on a weekday, I probably won't be able to make it.

Nice. The only metal stuff I've heard from my city (or from my whole state for that matter) has been these guys. Cephalic Carnage. They're not bad, but not that great.

Are oyu kidding? They're fucking incredible, man!

I have to disagree with you
There is a lot of good metal bands that you can feel emotions through the melodies and vocals.
Here, some links to stuff I like for these reasons
Blood Brothers by Iron Maiden
A New Beginning by Threat Signal
Dämmerung by Equilibrium
The Path Of Least Resistance by Scar Symmetry
Ghost Prototype II (Deus Ex Machina) by Scar Symmetry

Some people might call Threat Siganl "core", but I really do not see them that way... even with all the breakdowns. Also, for Scary Symmetry, the song The Path Of Least Resistance is one of my favorite ever written by the band... and I remember when my ex-girfriend and I broke up, I used to listen to this song a lot at this moment, and I remember that this song always gave me an emotion rush, especially the chorus.
For Equilibrium, there is one specific melody that is used quite often during the song, it's the first melody of the song, at first it's play without the guitars, but when the guitars kicks in... the melody is just getting even better. Love this song.

Unbelievable as it sounds, 'Bleed' by Meshuggah, is an emotional song for me, you just listen to the words and the music and its like...wow. Brings out plenty of emotion in me to.

Lol we're a real band. We play in my garage every Sunday. We've written 1 song, working on 2 and do a cover of Paranoid, but that's about it atm.

Burzum are really emotional guys. And Agalloch. And Drudkh.

Really? I don't get much good stuff from Last.fm's recommendations. For Last.fm, I usually discover stuff by listening to the radio stations, but I don't bother listening to their radios often these days. I often get completely irrelevant stuff from them. :(

Quicksilver Clouds -Throes of Dawn
Most of their stuff is quite emotionally charged. From that album especially.

That's the best I could link to.

im gonna agree with these, atmospheric/progressive/folky black metal seems to win for emotional integrity for me.
as an official electric wizard fanboy i have to say supercoven is an incredibly emotional song too in the right setting. it was one of the first metal songs of its kind i ever listened to.i was blown away by the ending where jus screams out SUPERCOVEEEENNN!!! over and over again. that song is the epitomy of anguish and doomyness.

Then post 10 bands you like and wait for a horseman to let you in. Be aware that we do not accept Nu Metal or Metalcore as metal.

Judging by his profile pic, I doubt he'll get in.

You're just jealous cause he's hot.

I'd say Jesu - "Conqueror" is the most emotional metal song i've ever heard, or any song for that matter.

That's not what I meant. I'm not disagreing with the fact that you can't emotionally connect to most metal music, but to the fact that you said those emotions mainly were anger, sadness and emotions like these. I think metal lyrics really iaren't just about sad stuff.

Also, Heart Of Ice by Dark Funeral is a pretty emotional song to. As well as kicking total ass.
