Heavy Metal Wedding Songs

After reading about this heavy metal wedding on blabbermouth, I thought I might do a post about decent metal weddings songs. You know, appropriately sappy songs that don’t scare the grandparents. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it might give you a few ideas (or at the very least, introduce you to a few new bands!)

  1. Maybe it’s because I love Ozzy, but I think “Momma I’m Coming Home” or “Goodbye to Romance” would make great wedding songs. I think “Silent Lucidity” by Queensryche would be a good one too. Speaking of the Scorpions, how about “Still Loving You”?

  2. I couldn’t agree more about all your suggestions, AlyGatr! ‘Momma I’m coming Home’ brings a tear to my eye sometimes :) I’m such a sap.

    I think This Love is far from a wedding song. Ya there’s the point of love but also things not about happiness

  4. I agree totally – I put ‘This Love’ in to be funny :) The same with ‘Pleasure Slave’ and a few others.

    Although, I hope one day I see a couple dance to Pantera at their wedding. That’d be uber metal!

  5. This is an unknown from Sweet Cheater – “When I look in Your Eyes.” It has a distinct Bon Jovi-esque feel, and is a lot of fun. Okay – so it’s over the lighter metal variety! Still a fun wedding song that the guitar player wrote for his bride.

    We’re using the Apocalyptica cover of Metallica’s “One” instead of the traditional wedding march as I go down the isle. Still trying to find a Type O Negative song that we can incorporate into the wedding without scaring off the relatives….

  9. MANYMANYMANY Opeth songs are great songs for weddings. We’re playing “Harvest” at ours. And, as much of a Slayer fan as I am, there’s no way in hell Raining Blood won’t scare off the grandparents….Spill the Blood MAYBE would pass, but definitely not Raining.

  10. i would for you and classic girl – jane’s addiction perfect for a wedding and won’t scare the inlaws :D

  11. Vampiria – Moonspell, Thy Fleeing Time & Underworld Domain – Dargaard, Broken Wings – FlyLeaf, Where We Would Be – Porcupine Tree, Broken – Seether Feat Amy Lee, The Beauty Of A Witch – Tristania, Black No.1 (little Miss Scare-All) & Can’t Lose you & Love You To Death – Type O’ Negative, Forever Yours – Xandria, Shaman & Vandring & Salva Me – The 3rd And The Mortal.
    There is probably more i could think of but i think thats enough for now, im still yet to find something my other half will agree to for me to walk down the aisle to >_< ugh

  12. Nightwish-While your Lips Are Still Red, Amorphis- Her Alone, Apocalyptica- Bittersweet, My Dying Bride- For You, Novembers Doom- Twilight Innocence, Tiamat- Vote For Love, HIM- Sweet Pandemonium

  13. We are having Killswitch Engage – The Element of One as one of our wedding songs. Its sentimental to us.
