Hey everyone, I’m in a cheesy mood. Are there any other blackened ballads like They Rode On by Watain? Preferably with clean vocals and a big solo.

I’ll also settle for stuff like Opeth’s Burden, or any non-love song ballad really.

I was always calling "black metal ballad" the likes of: Nargaroth "Amarok - Zorn des Lammes III", Horna "Juuret", Blood Red Fog "The Abyss", Sarkrista "The Sea Pt. 2 (My Cold Grave)".

Varathron - Remnants of the Dark Testament. No clean vocals, but one of the very few songs I know of that can be called an actual black metal ballad, or at least comes very close.

Are Bathory's "Hammerheart" and "Twilight of the gods" too obvious?

Hm, perhaps "Tamam Shud" - Destroyer 666. Closing track off Wildfire:

that Watain song rips off like a dozen Tiamat songs, down to the solo... Phantasma Deluxe was the blueprint, but you'll find more. half the Amanethes album you'll love
