Any good Death/Black/Doom Metal songs about love besides these listed below? Preferably both musically and lyrically, I don't mind borderline extreme metal bands either like Agalloch. Perhaps even some songs with more romantic melodies like on Ulver's Bergtatt as well?

Darkthrone- Natjassa in Eternal Sleep
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIj2jY0RtkI

Abigor- The Dark Kiss
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vNYyAVLnm8

Rotting Christ- Visions of the Dead Lover
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoGfBMiFk5Y

Absurd- Dreaming of Your love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGg7IQXS8L0 (terrible song but requisite)

Arcturus- My Angel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH7HjHUaNog (on second thought not creepy like this lol)

Im not gonna post them since it's not what you asked for, but I know quite a few songs from Grindcore and Metalcore bands which would fall into the "love song" category. Particularly from the bands Discordance Axis, Pig Destroyer and Converge.

As for Black and Death Metal, this is the only song I can think of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN_kpMmOexc

Black metal actually has quite a few of these dark romantic love pieces.

Sacramentum's "Fog's Kiss"

"Fascist Whore" by The Arrival of Satan is at least a song about fucking.

Vehemence's album God Was Created is about love I guess..... Sure, it's a kind of sick, deranged kind of love, and the main character has sex with the dead body of his romantic interest at some point.. But ya know, psychopaths need love to. http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Ve ... eated/5820

Guess most of their stuff its not fully black metal, more like doomy metal with some blackened moments but
Woods of Ypres has a lot of love songs in a depressive point of view (aka as failed relationships)
David was such a depressive guy when speaking about love so most of their lyrics are
in one way or another related to the theme.

Silver
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LDCc5qrmbQ

And Im pining (for you)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ne4zanwLTM

You are here with me (in this sequence of dreams)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJzJuvUOcso

Move On
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pao_YxkMVDU


Then theres this song Dont Go by Happy Days

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKunOADCMgU


In my Dreams by Dark Funeral is pretty romantic

"In my dreams we are still together
Forever and ever..."

I don't think that's what the OP wants. If he did, I'd say Cannibal Corpse's "Fucked With a Knife" already.

Necrophiliac is a love song then? a really, really, really akward love, but love indeed.

He said that he didn't mind stuff like Agalloch but yeah Wildhoney is almost not metal.

This song totally fits the thread though:

Bit of a stretch, but Carpathian Forest did a cover of the Cure's "A Forest," which I always kind of liked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVyBIzxRrvA

*shrug* that's all I got.

ETA: Yeah so it's not really romantic in its lyrical content, but I find it romantic-sounding. But overall not really what you were looking for, sorry.

Off the top of my head: some of these are as much about love as they are about lust, but who am I to draw the line?

Gorgoroth - When Love Rages Wild in my Heart :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zjpNmMvPFY

Rotting Christ - After Dark I Feel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haWXOQDy6nU

Dying Fetus - Dumpster Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctbl34GTDJk

Septic Flesh - Succubus Priestess
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZvvZo7CR1o
(If you count narcissism as love, check out "Narcissism" and "Narcissus" too).

Countess - Blood On My Lips (The Silent Rose of Sin)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9S-l3EA-14w

It's poetic lyrics spoken/snarled with a mostly synth and bass ambient background, guitar appears in the second half though.

Definitely try 'This Moment' by Isolation, from their newest album 'Closing a Circle'

Here are the lyrics:


Do you smell the autumn breeze
and the raindrops in the mist?
Our embrace, that we share
keeps us warm through the grey and cold

This moment is so precious
this moment is so pure
may the world turn forward
a part of us will stay

Empty smiles, distorted faces
poisoned thought won't let me be
life took so much from me
I'd rather die than let you slip.

The song is for free download from Last Fm too.

Sólstafir - Bitch in Black?

Probably nothing in black metal says "I love her" like she's got "eyes that glare like burning churches" :D

Thanks guys! A lot of these are silly but I suppose that's par for the course...

I see there's room in Black/Death Metal to expand in this regard

I also found this: http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/My ... nces/57799

Does Beherit's "Ambush" count? :-D
Lyrics:
Say you love me, say you love
Say you love me, say you love
Say you love me, say you love
Say you love me, say you love

De Profundis - Unbroken (A Morbid Embrace)
It tears us asunder and lays us to waste
Voices like thunder, a morbid embrace
Descending into ruin, all credence defiled
Casting aspirations, all love swept aside
Lifted up into her arms
Crushing the life from me
Benighted to all her charms
Perpetual dichotomy
Disintegrating schism
Lost in a reverie
Tumultuous conundrum
Elucidate this mystery
She is my nemesis
Bringer of woe, and my death
She is my succubus
My rebirth and every breath
Desecration – these wounds bear no scars
Desperation – an exercise in self-abuse
Degradation – smoke and mirror masochism
Self–deception – cloak and dagger sadism
From the smoldering embers there springs a tiny flame
Into a radiant phoenix reborn through death again
Deep beneath the debris a new seed takes root
From whence a towering oak will flourish once more
The brightest light casts the deepest shade
And in her night, with sanity frayed
Never from this dream awoken
Somehow the circle remains unbroken

You could say Cryptopsy's Lichmistress is something of a love song, although the love described is more like profound devotion to servitude rather than romantic affection. Overall, it's rather twisted. :lol:

Lots of weepy death/doom is about love, although more from the perspective of bereavement (see Anathema - Lovelorn Rhapsody, Sweet Tears, etc). Weepy, but rather heavy.

Generally not a fan of the genre, so I can't give many examples, but I'm willing to bet a good portion of DSBM is written out of love/heartbreak and then covered up with more conventional black metal metaphor. Of course, just an assumption based on the few DSBM bands I've heard.

Here are some excerpts from Abyssic Hate - Betrayed, this one is blatant and doesn't try to hide what it's about:

I need you here to ease this pain
For I fear it shall never dissipate
Yet you are so far away and the blood continues to flow


I felt your warmth - I can't touch your skin

For I shall live no more to be with you
As I see your face appear through the mist

I need more! Opening this back up.

Looking for songs either about love, or with very romantic melodies. That post black/gaze stuff is alright too and probably quite fitting.

Thanks

Oldschool death metal. The title does describe the mood pretty well. Nice, obscure gem.

Ancient - Willothewisp

Spoiler: show
(Her) Nights spent succumbing
to the brilliance of Blackeyes,
feeling the warm embrace of your hand,
memories like salt on a wound,
dominate my new found spirit land.

Seeking wisdom in the darkness hovering helplessly
around our pain crying with absence of real tears,
like a child born in vein.

I can no longer bear to watch you cradling my form.
Wrenching out bloody drops of desperation's futile storm.
Welcome to the Willothewisp my love. Deaths arduous game.
Mocking times insanity foreshadowing years of reign.

Male:
Oh my perfect princess, hard and cold as stone.
I shall trace your lips with crimson. I'll protect you;
they can't have you to bury, to leave me.
Slay all who dare touch my pretty doll,
it will be bloody paradise, a misanthropes ball.

Female:
I hear you and beseech you, find a way to understand.
Kill them for my body and be left with grains of sand.
Do not waste your life in vain,
protecting that which feels happiness nor pain.

Willothewisp my love, is forever now what be.
Willothewisp my darkened darling can not be taken away from thee.

Male:
I feel your essence all around me,
and see you dead on our floor.
Realize it would kill me to see you
dragged out like a rotting whore.
The dead are not theirs to take,
fuck their reality.I seek revenge.
Fuck their stupidity, your death will be avenged.

My princess is not their dead slave,
to tear apart and fit inside a holy lonesome grave.

Female:
Ahh! You torment me with endless worry.
A doll is what is left of me, to kill it, insanity!
Wake up live your life. Do not waste it in my name.

Male:
No! Why? Your body comforts me. Please understand.
It is a Willothewisp my love, but at least I would have command.

Help! Help! Ahh!
I can not take this, my heart was black to all but you,
and now you're dead. I need you in any form.
I want you. Separation is what permeates the fear of death.
Ahh! Ahh! Come back!

Female:
My essence is always with you.
Hovering over you and what was I
of my love and perfect self,
I never meant to die.
It's all right, do as you wish.
I want my body to be with you.

Male:
I see them coming, my pulse quickens, my long blade smiles.
Get away from her! Bastards, pawns!
Die, you are worth nothing, Die!!!

They are dead as well, now bags of worthless flesh.
How dare they try and take you, Ha! Ha! Ha! We are free together.

Female:
You shiver like a broken child before me,
clutching my cold hand wet with tears,
you kiss my hand and lips, and I feel nothing.

Male:
A presence looms about me, whispering like morning dew.
My perfect death doll princess, I stay here forever with you.

Female:
He has won my body, but now he is insane.
I reach out to dry his tears,
only to find I am like wind to rain.

Both:
Willothewisp is torture, deaths arguous game.
Willothewisp is hidden boundaries, foreshadowing years of pain.
