Taste in music varies from person to person and at times, from region to region.

While most people on this planet love peaceful or "light music", still a massive population has a thing for heavy metal.

However, despite the difference in taste, some heavy metal songs may still soothe one's mind and "soul".

Here is a list of five "metal" songs that may help you forget all the worries for a while:

1. Nothing Else Matters by Metallica

This song is a ballad that starts soft but in the end, leaves you breathless. The "so close no matter how far" takes a different toll on you and as you touch the "and nothing else matters", you definitely would realise that nothing else matters.

2. Cemetry Gates by Pantera

Starts with a heavy riff and with the lyrics, it makes you cry be in peace at the same time. For those who understand the words, it really helps in falling asleep knowing that the past is the past.

3. Hallowed be thy Name by Iron Maiden

Waiting to be executed, a song that may not mean much to anyone. With a debate being that the Cradle of Flith version is better than the Iron Maiden version, the song is a perfect example of perfect heavy metal that can be loved by anyone.

4. Snuff by Slipknot

Okay, this song may not be heavy metal in reality, but it is an alternative rock which is quite close. Snuff is a song that would bring the memories of the past right in front of your eyes yet make you forget the pain. Best for those late-night memory counters

5. In Your Face by Children of Bodom

To many, this song might be just noise but Alexi Laiho's voice makes it melodious for those who love metal in the true sense. In Your Face is a song that would erase your rage. When angry, just plug your headphones and tune in to In Your Face.
